This amounts to a Pharmacists right to deny a women a birth control prescription if it violates their personal moral or religious beliefs. <br />n<br />nHow smart it is to jump into a conversation…

Confused
There has been a lot of stink about female blogger not being included in an interview called Blogs, Bloggers, and Blogging. I guess I am confused. I think everyone would be happy the blogging is becoming more popularized. But to me it is becoming like a 4th grade argument on who is better the boys…

Who’s watching Whom?
I have mentioned more than once how I believe the large Meatpackers control the United States Department of Agriculture (<acronym title="United States Department of Agriculture, Bought and Paid for by The Big Meat Packers">USDA</acronym>). I know you think that it's just the rantings of a madman when I say it but check <a href="http://www.billingsgazette.com//index.php?id=1&display=rednews/2005/03/26/build/state/45-meatpacker-suit.inc" target="_new">this…

Day Off
No, don't worry, I don't get the day off, no such thing when ranching. My oldest has been going to public school for eight years now and for the first time the schools sent the buses home early. The highway was just a glare of ice and was in horrible shape. The bus driver called…
