Tax exempt

I’m so depressed right now. I watch a lot of documentaries and tend to watch them on a theme when I can find a lot on the same topic. This weekend, I’ve watched four on homosexual rights–three of which were more specifically about how various religions oppress and bully homosexuals either within their own ranks or in general: Baptists, Jews, and Mormons.

Documentaries

I’m sure there were some things I meant to post about this week, but as usual, time has gotten away from me. I did, however, work more than usual this week getting an extra eight hours in on my usual day off.

Debate #1

Well, the first presidential debate is over. We watched it on PBS ’cause I’ve always liked PBS and the arbiter (sp?) was from PBS anyway.

I wondered if they’d just sit together and talk about issues, but I guess Continue reading →
