I find the confession below hilarious. PostSecret (<-- click and indulge); it's one of the best things since the invention of zippers or sliced bread. The entire project paints the perfect picture of what human nature really is, without all those bullshit "customs" and "manners"; and keeps it short and sweet...

Two stories have been, no exaggeration, devastating, in the past two weeks. And that is the oil spill in the Gulf Coast, an accident that was initially thought to be fixable but is now been declared a state of emergency by the administration; there is currently no official plan to stop the mess that continues to roll in with the waves. The spill itself is the size of Delaware. It's a tragedy for our wildlife, and seafood businesses throughout the entire South.

The other story... the Arizona immigration law. No matter your political stance, it is truly one of those laws that is so blatant and obvious in a racist agenda, it makes you question how much progress we've really made. This law could deport natural-born citizens whom are the children of illegal immigrants. Most of these children go to school in the US and have never even been to their parent's country of origin.

Really, Arizona Governor Jan Brewer needs to be slapped in the face with a large, wet fish.

Please help break SB 1070. Change.org is and can be influential. Take one minute to vote and send an automated letter to your local state representatives. And if you're an Arizona resident, you can really do something about it, hit the streets to protest! Wish I could.

The pro-life Catholic organization Catholic Vote continues to pump out seemingly homemade, sappy videos dedicated to a pro-life agenda to advertise their "Imagine the Potential" campaign. Some of these ads last year made it to national television. I tried to go to their site today but apparently, their website is "closed on Sundays" (I'm not kidding.)

Concerning this video, on a less important note and being an adopted person myself -- even as a kid I had memorized which celebrities and notable people were "adopted like me" (Nelson Mandela for example); but a lot of the artists, singers, actors and politicians shown in this campaign were not really adopted but raised by step parents or grandparents (Jack Nicholson, John Lennon). Of course they pulled a fast one by taking these world-changing-not-really-adopted-people for the wow factor.

That being said, their intention was obviously meant to sway the plans of the pregnant, high school mom-to-be from going to that abortion clinic downtown, because maybe her child can be adopted and grow up and free a nation.

Now, not to sound morbid or like a complete downer, but if we're going broadcast such propaganda, one must advertise the other side as well, because if the "positive" side is going to be given such value than the negative must also receive the same type of attention; we do the same with every other form of discussion or choice so why shouldn't it apply here?

A negative side of adoption, for example, is the very public fact that so many notable serial killers were adopted that it's become a psychological topic of discussion among psychology and crime enthusiasts (just Google "adopted serial killers", though you won't have to finish typing it as it is a popular topic of search on Google.)

Some will understand my sentiments but I'm full aware others would view the above facts as a contempt of the magical world of adoption as we know it. But this is what's wrong with society's view of adoption. It is viewed as a strictly glorious thing to happen. A woman in a crowded room says "we adopted a baby boy!" and the room will fill with gasps and smiles.

But the fact is that adoptees, especially as children, experienced a traumatic experience; they were abandoned, left, given up by their own mothers. This is not something to rejoice. It's something that can and should be helped, but it shouldn't ever be ignored, or even worse, celebrated... And that's just what this advertisement does, it not only celebrates it, but it condones it -- all for the sake of political favor.

I got a new puppy two weeks ago. Some man was giving him away on the street (people, don't do that). He's half pomeranian half yorkshire terrier. I call him Okie, which comes from "Okla" the Choctaw word for "red". He's mine only, my other two dogs belong to me and my parents. I consider him my first son.
