Therefore they want to put something into law that will outlast them. Power and immortality-that's why these megalomaniacs are intent on pushing through this legislation. They are running scared because they don't understand why the tide is turning against them.<br /><br /> Take women's suffrage, when headway the women were making with regard to the right to vote became apparent, white men felt so threatened that they became violent towards the women they were so "gallantly" trying to protect. Most of that violence happened in London, but it could just as easily happened right here in the US.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12014185677903317185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4461482220517429729.post-77579520342014759802014-02-26T16:49:06.572-05:002014-02-26T16:49:06.572-05:00LOVE this.

You are so right about all the things we have never encountered simply because we were born as we were. I believe we have had many other lives and need to learn lessons on how to be a good soul. Good God- Arizona- even Mitt is saying let it go. Godspeed to all of us to be the change, the positive change.

It's sad to me that people spew so much hate in the name of God. <br /><br />What's going on in Arizona is an atrocity. I don't comprehend how [the collective] we can look at the same words and phrases that a mere 60 years ago were being used against another group of people and believe that this time they are right. Are our memories so short-lived?
