KEEPING PRIORITIES STRAIGHT

Apparently there has been a rather active movement in the US lately to get rid of unions.I think it is part of the inability to accept change and roll things back to the 'good old days' just after Christ died.  For those of us who do not have a sofa permanently attached to our bottoms, we may have missed the latest NFL fiasco.  Since the referees were on strike, (who of us caught up only with the political campaigns of the moment would have known?) some non-union guys were brought in.  I guess it is a 'guy' thing because I have never seen a female referee.  Apparently unaware of the wonderful technology of video and instant playback, the referees hired had no knowledge of what they could have done to enhance their slow reaction time, bad eyesight, or just total stupidity; a call was made that cost a team the game unfairly.  As people examined the video it become clear that the call was in error.  Amazingly the union guys became  sought after once again, the dispute resolved and the strike stopped..

Do you suppose, if men could get pregnant, contraception for women would be made as readily available as condoms are?.  Girls and nuns have been deflorated by priests for as long as Catholicism has graced our lives. The consequences to nuns were handled for years at the House of the Good Shepherd, now extinct as a necessity since abortion was made legal (at least in Massachusetts).

In an Ann Romney interview today she called her husband cheap because he turned the hot water heater off when they left the house.  I presume that wasn't when he went to the local Mom and Pop store for ice cream but when they would be away for a season from their New Hampshire home or their California home or one of those many places they conveniently call home if there is a tax savings. Good Heavens, you have to save a little energy here or there like that which can add up to pennies in no time and then to dollars, and Lord knows when that slippery slope will stop rolling things down.  I presume the five story elevator for cars was also in the interest of frugality (whoops, no she called him cheap, not frugal).

How people figure their priorities surely does puzzle one, doesn't it?
