Seriously, don't get me started with gun ...Foz-<br />Seriously, don't get me started with gun control. BUT, you know what is really sad? I mean, like really? Is that our culture is past the point of discussing things/approaching things with any sense of logic. You know the post I posted last week about gay unions? Well, Mike Chamberland called me that night and was like, 'here are some good ways to argue for traditional marriage'. And, what I ended up saying to him is that LOGICAL arguments do not work anymore. Objective truth, in a secular world, does not matter. Natural law does not matter, facts to not matter. EVERYTHING has to do with emotions. It's so frustrating, and actually, keeps me up at night. <br />In other news, the medication of children has bothered me for about a decade now. With boys it is ADHD, but do you know how many hormonal girls are 'diagnosed' bipolar and put on massive amounts of anti-psychotic drugs? You know, my younger brother was a total spaz in his youth. And my parents pushed forward with discipline and love, not medication. I am not saying all kids don't need medication, but I think it is RARE when the do. And, like you said, I find it FASCINATING that the national conversation regarding Mass shootings focuses on guns which facts clearly show have NOTHING to do with the problem. BUT, almost every mass shooter in the past ten years was on a powerful cocktail of anti-psychotic drugs. But, we can't talk about that huh? it isn't politically correct.<br /><br />SO FRUSTRATING!<br />Mary Wilkersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08895931413075965922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640846201971673514.post-15284989733609708982013-04-06T01:46:10.635-04:002013-04-06T01:46:10.635-04:00Love your blog; so happy I subscribe:)I'm sire...Love your blog; so happy I subscribe:)I'm sire tonight was fun and well deserved...hope the little one is feeling better!<br /><br />Thank you, Mary.<br />God bless<br /><br />Chris https://www.blogger.com/profile/08164050250146561005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640846201971673514.post-66850365472432354812013-04-05T18:52:19.838-04:002013-04-05T18:52:19.838-04:00Awesome post Mary!

I think it's a whole combination of things but yes, I think it's just crazy that people will not admit that eating colorings and chemicals that are now banned in other countries will affect your child. Completely illogical. <br /><br />I did end up picking a color and painting but I'm not sure how I feel about it yet!

It's a good thing even if I come along kicking and screaming, I guess. :)<br />#4 - Praying! That always seems to happen here - fun/exciting plans and one of them gets sick. St. Michael defend you and Jesus heal your little one!<br />#5 - Wow. I think I just got a new blog idea. Let's explore what our money goes to research. Good grief.<br />#6 - Yup, yup, yup.<br />#7 - I loved it last season but haven't caught it this season.

I really think so much of it comes from our foods. The artificial cr_p, preservatives, coloring . . . I could go on. We eat well here, but when the boys get junk, they turn into monsters . .. I am not kidding! My 4 year old had a horrible day on Monday and I am convinced it was from the candy he got at the Easter Egg hunt.<br /><br />Have fun tonight! So happy you are doing something nice, even if you are not ging to NYC.<br /><br />Oh, and I have Hiking the Camino for you! Will send soon.<br /><br />And the color of my kitchen walls . . .
