She is good at beating around the bush
First check out this quick video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-STiYgxxtRo
I don't know much about the Sarah Palin buzz that seems to be circulating around conversations these days, but I do know from watching the video a little but about her:
1. She believes women have every opportunity that men have. This is obviously only pertaining to her home and native land Alaska because there are many women in this world who are still subject to being considered lesser then men.
2. She is glad that she grew up in a family where gender was not an issue and she was permitted, as a female, to hunt, fish, and chop wood like men. Hmmm... there is much to say about this one.. including attributing gender to activities and tasks.
3. She believes that women should be in control of their own body, but is against the choice to use to morning after pill or to get an abortion. That is a little confusing.
4. She is accepting of all relationship forms. Her best friend just happens to be gay but don't worry she does not look at this person as her gay friend, rather, a good friend. Way to leave out an individuals sense of individuality Ms. Palin. Did you ever think that maybe that person wants to be identified as gay?
Can any one else think of some more things she is good at?
Peace,
Kerrilynn

First Feminist Rant
Sometimes it is good to vent, other times, it is good to tell the truth.
I never really understood the degree to which I developed a hate towards certain video games until I had the joy of stumbling across this one. What happened to the good games?
Peace,
Kerrilynn
As Ann would say, tres cool!
This is my first time, cut me some slack. It is a little fuzzy.
Peace,
Kerrilynn
