Florida Judge Gets it!

Florida Breaks Ground 
This past week a juvenile judge in Florida ruled that the law that bans gays from adopting in Florida is unconstitutional. Congratulations Florida Juvenile Courts, you got something right! It amazes me that in Oklahoma, a state so red and oftenso wrong, has the idea that gays can be good and qualified parents. We have got something right. 

Now please understand this is something that is totally subjective. As a former social worker you can rule out a family from adopting one of the kiddies you care for, for no reason at all. It is totally backwards and wrong but the opportunity for gays toadopt is still there.

 I just hope that the ruling from the Florida Judge holds, this could be a huge step
in our country towards truly equal rights!!!!

The link below leads to article from the local independent news paper here in Oklahoma City. The gentlemen that wrote the article was a professor of mine in college, and is a phenominal teacher. His veiws can be extreme at times, but there was never a lack of conversation. He greatly molded my view on the death penalty, he was filming a documentery about the first women to be excecuted in Oklahoma. He was a "spiritual advisor" and spoke on her behalf to the probation and parole board. As far as the article goes, I think that he is point on, but I want to know what you think! 

Dead Wrong and Proud of it

Teenage Muntant Ninja Turtles

I received this email from  my mom who is a 5th grade teacher. 

We have been discussing Leonardo da Vinci in class. Somehow the topic of the Ninja Turtles and their names being like artists came up in class. One of my homeroom kids said, "My dad has all the REALLY old teenage mutant ninja turtle play guys." When I asked him how old he was talking about he replied, "Well, my dad is almost 26, so they're REALLY old!" I thought I was going to split a gut when he said REALLY old and then said 26.................... Now you all know how I feel! He went onto explain that it was his step dad and he, too, thought it was weird.

P

As I read this, I almost fell out of the chair laughing, so I would not cry. First off you munchkin, I am 28 and I am not REALLY old. Second of all, yeah I was a Mutant Turtles fan many moons ago. You got a problem with that kid? 

Just remember from the mouths of babes!!!!!

I Believe!

I have waited several days for the election results to settle in. I wanted to really process my thoughts about what President Obama means. 

Here is what I have come up with. I was amazed by President Elect Obama ever since he announced that he was joining the race. I believe in him! I was intrigued by the idea that a Kenyan born African American man could be the next great hope for our country. Now, it has happened. We have created a new dream for so many people. America's promise held true. It doesn't matter who you are, there is no limit to what you can become in this great country. 

What a magical and wonderful idea that was lost in so many just 4 days ago. I hope that all Americans realize what a great and truly inspirational moment that this is and that the possibilities of what are to come are endless. 

Here is the trasition site for President-Elect Obama! www.change.gov
