I don’t know why they had to water this bill down. I would like more people to know about the law and the safe locations expanded to include fire and police stations as well as something for extremely rural areas. Safe Haven laws don’t encourage anyone to abandon a newborn. If just one infant is […]
What will you be doing this Thursday? Nobody in Knoxville is organizing anything? We are told there’s going to be a “surge” of 20K after the escalation has already happened when they are really planning on sending 92K and there’s nothing we can do about it but watch in horror?
Hooray! Now he’ll just do big pharma’s bidding from the Tennessee White House.
You’ve got to be taught To hate and fear, You’ve got to be taught From year to year, It’s got to be drummed In your dear little ear You’ve got to be carefully taught. You’ve got to be taught to be afraid Of people whose eyes are oddly made, And people whose skin is a […]

Everything they, their family and friends have ever done becomes public information because we ‘need’ to know. Most people would never subject themselves and the people they love to the criticism and abuse of a campaign. Instead of saying […]
I am tired and stressed. I only understand current events, politics and pop culture from what the news media tell me. Oh, there’s also blogs that examine and discuss every little detail of every little thing that happens everywhere. So, I am always grateful when a Hollywood celebrity of any variety decides to jump in […]
