I was looking at Rudy Carrasco's blog Urban Onramps and he linked to a really cool article. Here are some quotes just in case you think you might pass;
"In case people haven't noticed, a double-minded message lacks power. The curse of my generation isn't that we don't have something to stand for; it's that we don't have the integrity to back it up. So while everything else Nick Cannon may do from here on out could be a total disaster (isn't he the same guy that made a song with R. Kelly called "Gigolo"?), it is my ultimate desire that he not do anything to jeopardize peoples' ability to receive the truth. Right now, he has my respect. "
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"So what will it take to touch the next generation of potential child-killers? It will require that the message be made relevant. Here's a hint to pro-lifers: relevant might not look like you. Moreover, it probably doesn't sound like you either. This is America folks, not the GOP (contrary to popular belief, the two are not synomous). "
Here is the link to TheOOZE as well. I don't know how much discussion will come of this, but you can at least watch if some does. Or post some comments here. :)Go here to watch any discussion that may come at TheOOZE.
Blessings for now!
P.S. Just click on the title for the blog from Nykola. :)

hey, I was wondering on your thoughts about the "Can We Live". you might not have thoughts at all, but I wondered what your take would be at least."
It was well written, though I would have preferred if he didn't use terms like "child-killers" to label the "pro-choice" movement. That's as bad as, if not worse than, calling pro-lifers "anti-choicers." I'd prefer it if we all just stuck to the names that either side has chosen to be known by in this case. As you know, I am pro-choice, so I'm not sure what else to say unfortunately.
yeah child killers was a rather poor choice. I have to agree.
do you think her voice has any relvence to a pro-choice type person?
as for me I see the relevence for sure, but I don't know that I would take "pro-choice" as my label. I'm not for banning abortion, but I'm not for it being used as a main choice. :P
anyway, just wondered if it struck a chord with you. its ok if it didn't, I just wondered. :)

I'm definitely not for using abortion as a main choice either, but to be honest I doubt that many "pro-choicers" would be. That's one of the reasons that I am so big on proper sex education, so that we can reduce the amount of abortions in the world.

Heh. Not a huge chord, but that could have been because the "child killer" label was bugging me.

agreed!

that is cool. I guess you know why I get kindof antsy around the label "fundementalist". ;)

Yeah, I was actually going to comment on that but I figured you'd mention it so I wouldn't have to. :)
