the Christian's right got what they want and our democracy fell to a christian theocracy? But instead of getting a Catholic, Protestant, Lutheran christianity they got a Mormon christianity? Or Worse?
No, that wouldn't be funny. Just like it isn't funny that we have a presidant that doesn't understand what it means to be moral. As he bombs and kills thousands upon thousands of civilians -- killing women and children and old men -- he denies people the hope of new cures for diseases.
Why?
Ignorance, Arrogance, Pride.

How to celebrate your Independence
Every year the Tumalo family gathers at Tumalo State Park in Bend, Oregon. This year was no exception. Sara and I joined this gathering last year with a desire to climb at Smith Rock which is 25 minutes away. It is really too hot to climb at Smith during this time of year, but if you are determined and stubborn you can get up super early and climb until the sun melts your shoes. Which is what we did -- up at five AM, climbing by six-thirty, then cleaning up our routes and walking back by eleven. Then we'd hang out at camp or by the river. It was great.
We had a couple of friends join us, both celebrating their independence. One was recently laid-off from her job, and the other had completed a divorce process. So we had fun celebrating with lots of climber talk, lots of teasing eachother, and our divorcee even made her own bouldering problem that we named "Just Divorced" - V0.
