Arting again. Hi internet.

Sometimes living in the moment is a good thing to do.
I’m grumpy.. and tired.. but mostly grumpy.. I’ve been reading news feeds again. I really shouldn’t.. it’s bad for my mental health.
In America the ongoing war on women’s rights is ramping up. Not content with limiting access to abortions, the Grand Old Party has set their sites on reducing access to affordable contraception.
Women.. if you are pregnant, in a dire medical/social/financial/etc situation you have no choice but to carry that child to term and deal with the consequences of having THE S*X. (**regardless of whether or not you had a choice in having THE S*X)
Also.. Women, you are not allowed to have safe responsible healthy fun consentual S*X unless you are rich enough to afford the contraception yourself.
GOD has gifted you with a womb how dare you try to thwart his intentions by avoiding your biblical duty to remain barefoot, pregnant and chained to some form of kitchen sink!.
ARRRGRHRGRHGRHGRRHGRHRGHRGRHRHHHH!
In European News, the EU seems hell bent on destroying Greece.. I know Greece hasn’t been the responsible child of the European Union.. but what’s happening now is akin to the Treaty of Versailles. We may not see the immediate consequences.. but 20 years down the line we may suffer them.
What’s needed (I think) is a new form of Marshall Plan. And a properly federalised democratic Europe.. it’s not going to happen, but I can dream.
In The UK, the conservatives are busy dismantling the NHS.. for purely ideological rather than realistic reasons.. WHY? Seriously.. the NHS is ridiculously awesome. And trust me, when people have to pay £50 per doctor visit they will remember who paved the way for it.
The conservative party may destroy themselves along with the NHS.
And then there’s Ireland…
Where apparently some people are still bemoaning the loss of the embassy in the Vatican, we still haven’t legislated for the X case but we are legislating to criminalise filesharing, oh and Eamonn Gilmore is going to magic up 100,000 new jobs.
I love this country.. I really do.. but we have no hope of getting 100,000 new jobs… none whatsoever. It’s back to the heady days of emmigration and long term dole queues..
Still at least our jobless are not being forced to work the Tesco night shift for dole money…. Oh wait.. didn’t I see something like that on www.jobbridge.ie..
To sum up.
ARRGRHRGRHGRHGRHRGRHHHHHRHRGHRGRHRHHHH!
