Hope is a thing with feathers, That perches in the soul, And sings the tune without the words, And never stops at all.-Emily Dickenson

What kind of girl are you? Take the quiz and see.

Although I'm really not in to labels... I found this sort of fun and interesting. I am a progressive girl. I thought it was a pretty good description of me. I didn't like some of the questions, and I'm not promoting the book, as I really didn't even look at it. I followed a link that led me to a link, that led me to a link, that eventually led me here.

Dub-ya says...

Stem cell research holds the promise of helping millions with diabetes, Alzheimer's Disease and other illnesses, yet Bush says "The use of federal dollars to destroy life is something I simply do not support". He doesn't support the use of federal dollars to destroy life... huh... who knew?

Over 1,650 American soldiers have been killed in Iraq. That is only American soldiers; we will probably never know the Iraqi death toll , including many innocent children .
"There's an alternative to the destruction of life," he said. "But the stem cell issue is really one of federal funding, that's the issue before us, and that is whether or not we use taxpayers' money to destroy life. ... I don't believe we should."
I guess he must be using his daddy's money for the war in Iraq... that explains it. At least now I understand that the taxes I pay, go only to worthy and just causes. I must have misunderstood previously. Glad that's all cleared up!
Regarding North Korea expanding its nuclear program, Bush said "If diplomacy is the wrong approach, I guess that means military. That's how I view it as either diplomacy or military. I am for the diplomacy approach." He also said "And for those who say we ought to be using our military to stop a problem, I would say that while all options are on the table, we've still got a ways to go to solve this diplomatically."
Do you think that means he learned a lesson in Iraq? Or is he just confused? Or am I??
On the human rights Guantanamo Bay report he says, "It seemed like to me they based some of their decisions on the word of the allegations by people who were held in detention, people who hate America."
Huh... go figure! You think those who were held
in detention without charges, brutally abused,
and subjected to sacrilegious acts (try flushing a bible down the toilet around some of the extremists over here) hate America? I guess those might be considered biased opinions.
