Miss California, You Go Girl!

Did you see this? During the Miss USA Pageant this week-end, Miss California was asked if she believed all states should allow same-sex marriages. She said no! And what a back-lash she is receiving! They are saying because of her answer she lost the crown!

Why is it that there is a "right" and "wrong" answer to an opinion question? Or is it the fact that it has to do with truth and morality? I'm guessing that she forgot the pat answer of "world peace" that makes everyone happy! Good for her to take a stand and answer such a hot button question in front of the whole country.

We need more people to stand up and speak the truth, even if we may lose something in the process.

As my daughter says about those who want only tolerance, "You should be tolerant of my intolerance!" Think about that one for a minute!

Allow me a moment to brag...

A few weeks back in our worldview class, we were talking about our government and our responsibilities as citizens to be involved and make our voice heard. One assignment was to read the newspaper and write a letter to the editor in response to an article, it could agree or disagree but the point was to respond. Well, today we found my oldest son's article in print in the Columbus Dispatch! How cool is that? He did a very good job and gave valid points for his argument.

It's neat to see the kids growing and having an opinion on the world around them!
