HAPPY THANKSGIVING !
It's been almost two years since i started blogging here. Fox is one of the only sites that not only allows the peasants to blog but actually gets us involved and interacts with us through e-mails, chats, interviews, and featured posts. There is nothing better than exercising that good 'ole first amendment right. However, everything in life has consequences.
Throwing out one's own opinion can only expect other opinions to be thrown back. Some are pleasant when they disagree and some are not. If only we could all be as diplomatic as PBMom - including myself. Even when vehemently opposed to an opinion, she sticks to the topic and never lets it get personal.
Most bloggers are tolerant and accepting of others even when opinions vary. Some are not. The Rev and I remain polar opposites on our interpretation of what the Bible says and doesn't say about being gay. We have had some heated moments but still respect one another. There are some whose hatred for an entire mass of people boggles my mind and truly frightens me. The indifference of a (Fox) weekend co-anchor in his blog was shocking. I thank God that I have never encountered the hatred and intolerance in my personal life that have encountered here. I hope none of them have a gay son or daughter. It is their mentality that causes the suicides of gay teenagers who are told over and over that they are worthless and an abomination.
I was lucky and perhaps naive to the evil out there because never have my parents, syblings, friends, teachers, clergy, or employer told me I was broken and needed to be fixed because I was born gay. I am not afraid to be honest and I will always be proud.
i finally watched the movie, "sugarland express" this past weekend. was KRIV around (nearly 40 years ago) to report on the actual case in fort bend and harris counties? i coulda sworn i saw a young moustached reporter chasing the chaos. lanny? LOL
i just found out that jerry reed has been dead for a week. with all the news i watch i don't know how i missed that til now. i guess the storms took precedence over his death. i read it in the newspaper. they didn't even mention that he met my sisters backstage at the grand ole opry which i'm sure was the highlight of his carreer - LOL! thats debbie on the left, wendythib in the middle, and diane on the right.
