• it never occurred to me that there would be people actually opposed to raising the minimum wage.  i just don’t know where to start with that.  why would it be a bad thing to raise minimum wage?

  
  

  i watched an inconvenient truth the other day and was really surprised by it and i think that global warming is an issue that we all need to get behind before it’s too late.

  
  

  i never cared about environmental issues before, and don’t get me wrong i’m not rushing out to buy a hybrid (mostly because they are way too expensive and you’d actually have to drive something like 250,000 miles just to break even with the price of the car and savings in gas and i already drive a fuel efficient vehicle) but it will make me think twice from this day forward.

  
  

  why wouldn’t we want to save our earth?  we protect our houses against theft, against insects, against the elements (the best we can), and yet we don’t do our part for the environment.

  
  

  a bigger issue for me is sex.  i believe that we desperately need to vamp up the level of sex education in our schools.  for me, sex education was abstinence only education and while i believe abstinence is a very good plan, i think it’s unrealistic to force it on teenagers.  i was pretty much told in high school that if i had sex, i would get an std and/or get pregnant.  not to mention that my boyfriend would most likely break up with me and go on to someone else, taking a part of me with him.  sex can have some terrible emotional and physical consequences but there are other sides to it as well.  and i have to say that just because a pregnancy is unplanned does not make it a bad thing.

  
  

  eh, it’s not quite where i wanted to go with this, but my mind is way too jumbled.  too much on my plate, i guess.
