With privilege comes responsibility I found this on another blog. The author has granted permission for it to be used by anyone provided the reference to Peggy McIntosh, who apparently inspired it, remains. In 1990, Wellesley College professor Peggy McIntosh wrote an essay called “White Privilege: Unpacking the Invisible Knapsack”. Her work was about White [...]

Sexist Congress woman from NH should be sent packing “We go to the ladies room, the Republican women and the Democratic women, and we just roll our eyes at what’s being said out there, and the Republican women said when we were fighting over the health care bill, ‘If we sent the men home, we [...]

Just a week after I condemned Joe Wilson for shouting it out, I’m saying the “L” word. Wilson was wrong [...]

How long before the insurance police come knocking down my door? If I thought that Obama’s government run insurance plan was bad, I should have known that what the Republicans had in mind would be even worse. MANDATORY health insurance!!!!! Isn’t this America? What happened to personal freedom and individual liberties? They claim it’ll be [...]

Good, bad, or indifferent? I’ve remained silent on this issue mostly because I’m not sure what to think of it. Is health care reform needed? Absolutely! Is Obama’s proposal going to fix the system? Can’t say for sure. What I can say i that I don’t want a plan that is going to cost me [...]
