#FreeJustina!
Actions speak louder than words. Actions = Rescuing Justina. Words = ALL else! #JustinaPelletier http://www.lifenews.com/2014/04/16/justina-pelletier-tells-parents-in-secret-letter-she-is-being-tortured/ #TCOT
Her teenage years are being stolen from her. She is in the stages of her life when she's learning who she can trust & who she can't. She is a innocent & helpless child!
Release her!
The longer this all goes, the more hurt she will be and the harder it will be for some to escape any legal consequences! Not only is that stupid, but cruel!
So I say again:
Actions speak louder than words. Actions = Rescuing Justina. Words = ALL else!
UPDATE: As of June 18th 2014, Justina is back home with her family! Awesome news!!!

Government: Elected officials or We The People?
Sometimes people will say "Isn't gov't really We The People?"
In my opinion, the government has, in any context, one of two meanings:
In my opinion, the government has, in any context, one of two meanings:
1.) We The People.
2.) The individuals who are elected and the people they appoint to certain positions in any given bureaucracy.
Though when I see the words "The government is getting abusive, they are ripping up the Constitution & eroding our freedoms" I think of the second definition above.

"Politicians are public servants & should serve We The People" is another blog entry I'd like to bring to your attention. It deals with the second definition of "government" I listed here.

Voter ID
I'm a poor man. I have very little money. Yet I have an ID.
I've used it to set up bank accounts. If I drank alcohol or smoked, I'd use it to buy those.
There's a CVS pharmacy near where I live and one time, I bought one of those energy drinks. I had to show my ID to buy it.
It takes no effort to use the very same ID used for those activities and use it for voting.
What's more, it's not a bad thing for me to be required to vote only once.
It's also not a bad thing for me to prove I am who I say I am.
If I were to vote more than once & didn't need to prove my identity, that makes it easier for anyone to vote.
"Anyone" is thus defined as: either from this country or not from this country. Anyone who is a citizen or who is not a citizen.
That's not voting. That's something else entirely.
