I love it that I can so painlessly contribute to something with such admirable results. And I think it's admirable, even though it's worn in some places and broken in others.Lornahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08976144449873569523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4383683834534759163.post-84435871881996148612010-12-02T18:05:04.330-06:002010-12-02T18:05:04.330-06:00(Chuckling) I believe everyone should have equal r...(Chuckling) I believe everyone should have equal rights, but I do not like to be called a feminist for exactly the reason stated. There are some radical feminists (just as there are radical everything elses) that give feminism a very bad name indeed. Also, I don't like the term because it implies to me that such a person is specifically for women's rights and I support the rights of and value all people. I don't like the idea of men vs. women or black vs. white or Christian vs. Muslim, etc. Many times I refuse to record my race on forms because I don't like being forced to think in those terms. I can still be proud of my individual heritage without separating myself from other segments of the population. (I'm not sure I'm communicating effectively here.) However, I do not use the same logic when it comes to religion. There are people who claim to be Christians whom I am loath to be lumped with, but I still identify myself as a Christian.<br /><br />As for government funded healthcare across the board, I am very wary of it. My family has never been able to afford health insurance, and the kids qualify for a state funded healthcare program. I am thankful the state healthcare was there when my oldest daughter needed it, but I don't necessarily feel government funded healthcare is something dh and I need. In fact, I'd love to not be using it for the kids. I do like the idea of something being in place for the poorest segment of the population, but that already is the case in many places.Jennihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08483309441288822407noreply@blogger.com
