1. It’s OK for mothers to tell enough people to fill a hockey arena that she doesn’t like spending time with her kids. Kids are resilient after all. Plus, their Generation will be used to this stuff. They can deal with knowing their mom can’t get through a day with them without complaing to the world. They’ll get over it. Life is tough. Anyone who says otherwise has no idea how tough it is…

2. It is most certainly not OK for someone to respond critically to a mother voicing a pretty yuchy sentiment. Mothers cannot be judged!!! If you do, then a logical consequence is for someone to attempt to ruin your online reputation, and maybe your marriage and job.

PT should have taken your ending advice and ignored him.

Mixing politics and medicine gives us interesting outcomes – Russia has now banned import of American/Mexican meat (which was mariginal before the ban), nothing to do with food safety, of course. What’s next? Banning sombreros?

One thing I wanted to clear up though. I’m not sure if I’d ever lump myself into a generalization of being “on the side of Obama” – I realize you were likely referring to the swine flu issue, I just want to make sure that there is no confusion at any point beyond that. I would never want to appear as showing support for any individuals or entities that support taking a life at any stage (ie abortion, embryonic stem cell research, etc). I only support an absolute and complete respect for life from the very moment of conception to one’s very last breath, in accordance with God’s will.

Sorry, I realize I got a little off point there, but felt it needed to be said.

Thank you again for the inclusion and allowing me to clear that up. =:0)
