..but the day is not over

Yesterday I met some friends downtown. While on the train I decided to text message 2 of my friends on their cell phones. We're all Trekkies, so I choose to send the expression that Klingons use when going into battle:

"It is a good day to die".

The first friend got the message and was amused. I do not realize at that point that the second friend had switched carriers and his phone number had been given away. A few minutes after the message was sent, I got a phone call, and my friend's ID showed on the display, but it was a 15 or 16 year old girl who was rather upset that I had sent such a terrible message to her. She insisted I apologize, which I did, as one could see how that message , taken out of context, might be disturbing.

It Begins

Dubya has packed the supreme court with 2 right wing judges to replace a retiree and a death. The main reason for this? To outlaw abortion. South Dakota has passed a law to ban abortions unless the mother's life is in danger. There is not even an exception for incest or for a woman who has been raped.

Fuck.

Now let's face it - rapists' rights have been eroded over the last few decades. Unlike me, I guess some people feel that that is a problem that needed to be corrected.

Ladies, it's cold in Winniped but at least there your rights are considerd to be of more importance than those of rapists.

A San Fransisco paper took it a step further and brought up a possibility:

Are you tired of not having any kids because you can't get any woman to fuck you ? No probs. Just rape one. You may do 20 years but a lovable little child can call you "Daddy".
