(no subject)
Today I was called a "tree-hugging, baby-killing liberal". While I was stunned, the girl was also quick to remark that she was surprised I wasn't left handed. (Although I have to admit, that's a good one.)
Simply because I said I found it interesting that most politicians who were pro-life were also pro-death penalty. I was torn between what I wanted to call her (something along the lines of a pushy, intolerant bible thumping conservative) and saying "thank you". Thankfully, Mr. Pickup put a quick end to the, ahem, "civilized discussion". I bet that's the last time he ever lets Roe vs. Wade be debated in his classroom. Am so happy that this class was Mr. Pickup's and not Mr. Butler's. I think Mr. Butler would use those words to describe me himself.
My debate is "Do you think the UN is effective?". I'm con side, which is good, and I'm paired with another con person. Yayee, go me. ::cheerleader moves::
Was also repressing the urge to kill the chamber choir members. They are apprently not aware that I would commit murder to be in chamber choir, and maybe Mrs. Dean should choose people who are willing to try, practice, and perform over those who can without a second thought. The brats.
But, rather than going and seeing TTT after school tomorrow, I am getting out half an hour early. Hurray. This is indeed a Good and Joyful Thing.

Pro-life and pro-capital punishment
Can I explain this? If you want to delete this off your comments after you read it, go right ahead, though. I am pro-life and pro-capital punishment. I don't hold all life on the same level. An unborn child is innocent and I see it as a person. I think that it does not deserve to be killed because the mother did something stupid. (I'd be interested in the statistics about rape/incest/abuse abortions vs. birth control abortions; I haven't been able to find them on the web.) So on the one hand we have an innocent life.
Then we have a murderer. Someone like Osama or Ted Bundy or Tim McVeigh or Andrea Yates. They are utter scum. And, no, I don't think they deserve to live. They took life, lots of life, and they weren't sorry. How is letting them live in jail a punishment when they don't care what they did? So that's the other side.
I don't think the two lives can be equated.
That's all.
Cheers,
