The Founders' Legacy - 1994

Icon chosen because I love this movie :)

Had a stupid day today.
Got home from work at 1am, and went online to click some dragons in dragonspam. Fell asleep in my chair. Woke up after some hours, clicked some more dragons to take my mind off some things, then went to bed at 11am. :P

Yes, I know, way late.

Couldn't sleep at first, then finally slept some hours. Result - no shopping nor doing laundry today. Bleh.

This post brought with this following intention - giving my dragons some views since I won't be posting in the dragon comm tonight. Some are my own, and some are offspring from my dragons, that I've adopted away.

One warning to the Republicans on my flist--this is very anti-Republican. And as such, skewed in favor of Democrats. Feel free to pass this by. You're not likely to convince me not to be annoyed by this situation.

I've kept quiet about the elections for the most part, but after listening to NPR today, I had to say this. Already said it in a comment, though there's more here...


I have so many issues with this woman, but my main issue is that she's Republican. The party of White middle-to-upper-class men. And anyone who doesn't fit that image but still wants to vote for them had better sit down and shut up and just come along for the ride. They think nothing of a family with a disabled kid because the wife is the one who has to take care of it (in their view), and therefore it wouldn't be an issue for a candidate, right?

Granted, that's a very narrow view, but look at how many Republicans are non-whites or women.

Which isn't to say that a Democrat would have a much easier time of it if she ended up having a Downs baby, but honestly? I think she'd be far more realistic about it, she'd have more support from friends and family, and quite possibly would retire from office given the responsibility it would take.

I do admit, for all I know, her husband will be the one to take care of the child. But in even a modern-day Republican family, that still feels (to me) like too much to expect.

And if Palin can't see how much work having a Down Syndrome child will be, which she doesn't seem to, because she keeps saying how it will be no issue, she certainly has no right ever being Vice President.

And then there is her daughter. Leaving her daughter's choices in this aside, it's quite obvious that Palin wasn't available to be there during a time when she should have obviously been talking to her about these sorts of choices. I'm not talking about whether they were the right choices or not. But I can't believe that Palin or McCain, or indeed, any Republican could really think this makes her look good. To me, all I see is a woman who chose between politics and her family. And her family lost.

Even if I were a Republican, I couldn't see voting for her. She's not groundbreaking. She's a mess.

Don't know where the time went today. I won't be posting my dragons at dragonspam today - way past my usual posting time - so I'm posting them here. For once my own dragons and eggs, and not someone else's in trouble.
