He unholied the holy water!
I was driving to work this morning and flipping through the radio stations since my MP3 player decided to take a break from working (thank you very much Starbucks coffee for spilling all over the inside of my car and soaking the player. I hope it works after it dries out…). I accidentally flipped to a morning show which I DESPISE.
The two DJs are pretty much everything I despise about southern conservatives (I would like to state for the record that not every southern person that is conservative is also a southern conservative and there are some people that live in the north that are southern conservatives).
SOUTHERN CONSERVATIVES are the people that become irrational about ANY OTHER POINT OF VIEW that differs from their own. They think Obama is a muslim terrorist out to destroy the country and planning to set up death panels to kill their grandmothers. They set up billboards along the highways that say “Ex-Gays prove change is possible”. They talk about how religious and awesome they are at the same time they are saying that they are scared we have a black president because now other black people may feel like they have the right to step up and better themselves (this is an ACTUAL word for word quote from someone). These are just a few examples…they go on and on.
Anyways, I can honestly say I don’t think I have EVER agreed with anything this radio show has talked about until this morning. They were discussing the flu vaccines and how employers of certain institutues are making them mandatory whether or not the employee wants to get them.
Personally, I hate flu vaccines and I don’t believe in them. I especially don’t believe in a flu vaccine that was developed and rushed to market in a few months. I don’t have an issue with other people wanting to take a vaccine…but I have a HUGE issue with people being forced to take the vaccine. I realize some people really think they are great, and they may even be helpful for people with compromised immune systems, but I personally don’t believe there is a benefit to me taking a vaccine. Yes, there were some initial tests that showed no side effects, but what about effects that could possibly show up in 2-3 years? How many medicines have there been that they claim are perfectly safe…and then a few years later they are pulled off the market due to adverse side effects.
Anyways, it was just a weird shock to actually agree with these people even if it was over something as small as a flu vaccine.
So…moving on. I’ll end the week with some more knitting:
My latest fingerless gloves. Just a small, light weight glove perfect for wearing and typing (and ignore my short and stubby fingers…I hate my fingers haha). The cuff is only about 1.5″ long and the palm ends about 1/4″ above the fingers. My co-workers make fun of me and call them my driving gloves…but I love them and they are exactly what I wanted.
Here’s a picture of the two of them side by side. 
Everyone notice my ugly gray plastic desktop, and I swear the gloves are the same size…it was just the angle I took the picture at 
Anyways, hope everyone has a fantastic weekend!
