I can see for miles, miles, miles.

A. Twenty-something. Historian/educator/runner/professional power napper. From Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Happily introverted. I adore baseball, books, crayons, gardens, healthy living, hiking, historiography, language, making really obnoxious faces, minimalism, poetic devices, pretty dresses, [terrible] puns, the Rust Belt, sentence diagramming, tea, urban farming, urban renewal, watercolors, and wordiness. Most days I would like nothing more than to live in a small cottage in the middle of an upper-Midwestern forest, paint pine trees and lake-living on canvas, learn how to play harmonica, and slowly build a world with my own two hands. In the mean time, I'm feeling pretty good, and I'm enjoying living life in a simple, romantic manner while confined by a gritty, pragmatic city. I don't always talk much, but, overall, I think people are really wonderful. ♥

I think it’s time to kill for our women

Time to heal our women, be real to our women
And if we don’t we’ll have a race of babies
That will hate the ladies, that make the babies
And since a man can’t make one
He has no right to tell a woman when and where to create one

“Rap is just noise”

Look at that terrible rap music, poisoning the minds of our youth. 

Someone on my Facebook newsfeed, a man, mind you, just wrote that women who have abortions should suffer the death penalty.

It’s time to take up drinking again and dream of a United States in which the majority of Americans employ reason over emotion and sensationalism.

Pro-Life or Anti-Sex:

A thought…

It seems to me that most Pro-Life people I know really aren’t Pro-Life at all. They are, rather, Anti-Sex. That is, the abortion debate is often just a cover to wage war on the sexual revolution and the Dawn of the Pill. What many Pro-Life people are angry about is the casual sexuality of our age, an era of “abortion on demand.” Pro-Life advocacy, then, is often (consciously or unconsciously) really a way to get sexually promiscuous people to face the “consequences” of sexual activity. The focus on life is often cover for Puritanical worries about sexuality in modern America.

Why do I draw this conclusion? Because most Pro-Life people I know are only Pro-Life in this one area, and only in this one area. They are not, generally speaking, consistently Pro-Life. For example, most Pro-Life people are…

…not Pro-Life when it comes to gun control.

…not Pro-Life when it comes to preemptive war.

…not Pro-Life when it comes to capital punishment.

…not Pro-Life when it comes to global malnourishment.

…not Pro-Life when it comes to universal health care.

…not Pro-Life when it comes to entitlement programs for the women and children of the working poor (to remove the economic incentives for abortion).

…not Pro-Life in promoting condom usage to prevent teenage pregnancy or AIDS in developing nations.

In short, the only thing many conservatives are Pro-Life about is, well, abortion. Which, incidentally, is the only thing on the list that’s about regulating sexual behavior.

Which kind of makes you wonder…
