Western Culture is built upon compassion and respect for life, among other good things. This article is evidence of how that is all slipping away and there will be consequences if we do not deal with this. Excerpts from the article:
Prosecutor: “It was also clear that Mr. Bateman was wholly motivated by compassion.”
“We are becoming a society where the assessment of your quality of life hinges on what you can do, rather than respect for life itself.” – Mike Judge of the Christian Institute.

Watch Your Language!
The California Legislature has passed a resolution for a cuss free week.
This story draws a "What the Spank" salute.
The absurdity of this is difficult to fathom. As if we don’t have enough to worry about, the government is going to tell us how we should speak. Yes, I know that in this case, it’s only a suggestion. Now, I do not disagree that civil discourse should be expected. But, our California legislature has too much to worry about than to get involved in this effort. Don’t we have a huge deficit to contend with among many other pressing and critical issues? I wonder how much this public awareness campaign is costing the tax payers?
Again, I sound alarm behind this type of governmental intrusion in our lives for this reason:
What is today a suggestion or an awareness campaign becomes tomorrow’s regulations.
This is the nature of unchecked government. It can not control it because it justifies its sense of importance and control. This is the nature of the governmental beast. The beast is necessary; but we must keep it on a short leash, lean, working for us, and trained to stay out of our way. A recent CNN poll bears out this belief that our government is growing much too powerful.
Stay out of our lives! The government has no business telling us how to speak and think. My mother and father taught me what acceptable language is, and what is not. Now, anyone who knows me is aware I am not a saint in this area. I have been known to use a colorful metaphor from time to time. However, true improvement or reform is best, true, and permanent when it comes from the free will, not from coercion. And while I do not disagree with the notion of self control (cussing,) it is not the government’s role in our lives.

Is it chilly outside or is it just me?
Global Warming, er uh, I mean cooling. No, its climate changes. Yeah, that's it! When are we going to grow a brain? Sad thing is, I doubt anyone will notice this hoax. Too many people have too much invested in this fraud emotionally, intellectually and economically.
Excerpt:
"Professor Jones also conceded the possibility that the world was warmer in medieval times than now – suggesting global warming may not be a man-made phenomenon. And he said that for the past 15 years there has been no ‘statistically significant’ warming."

“Will you sing me a lullaby before I go?”
A must read. Found this at Patrick Madrid's Blog
Dear Mom and Dad, I want you to know
My young heart is beating, my eyes fill with tears,
I pray that your love will conquer your fears.
God knit me here, you are my lifeline,
Will you sing to me, sweet Mother of Mine?
