A case has been developing in Florida concerning a parent and her children. Bats were in the low income housing unit that they lived in. The mother of the children has insisted that her children were not bitten by the bats. But DCF has removed her children from her home to force them to get the rabies shots. The mother was concerned that one of her children got really sick a few years back because of shots.
Should the government be able to force parents to give their children rabies shots?
Is it me or has MySpace appeared to be demon possessed every since the power outage?
Dear Diary,
I won’t be writing in you anymore. I got myself a xanga site.
Your friend,

Can blogs really replace the traditional diary when those blogs are public for everyone to see?
Do you now think Hillary Clinton has a good chance to win in 2008?
I was reading newsday.com where a story was printed about a guy who was stealing cable. He signed up for basic and then got a descrambler. The cable service sued him and won a recommendation of 13,453.56. The cable company is said to be going after the little guy in order to discourage others from stealing cable.
What is the biggest item you have ever stolen?
I want to do movie selections here again tonight. Just tell us a great movie that was not some big blockbuster type movie.
The movie that sort of surprised me was called “Joe Dirt.” It was so funny and yet at times touching. It was nothing that I would have expected out of a David Spade movie.
Name your best non blockbuster movie suggestion.
I was sent a posting idea via the new messages feature by BatesCityBabes. It was an article in the associate press. Let me just reprint the article:
“Church Fires Teacher for Being Woman
By Associated Press
WATERTOWN, N.Y. – The minister of a church that dismissed a female Sunday School teacher after adopting what it called a literal interpretation of the Bible says a woman can perform any job _ outside of the church.
The First Baptist Church dismissed Mary Lambert on Aug. 9 with a letter explaining that the church had adopted an interpretation that prohibits women from teaching men. She had taught there for 54 years.
The letter quoted the first epistle to Timothy: “I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man; she must be silent.”
The Rev. Timothy LaBouf, who also serves on the Watertown City Council, issued a statement saying his stance against women teaching men in Sunday school would not affect his decisions as a city leader in Watertown, where all five members of the council are men but the city manager who runs the city’s day-to-day operations is a woman.
“I believe that a woman can perform any job and fulfill any responsibility that she desires to” outside of the church, LaBouf wrote Saturday.
Mayor Jeffrey Graham, however, was bothered by the reasons given Lambert’s dismissal.
“If what’s said in that letter reflects the councilman’s views, those are disturbing remarks in this day and age,” Graham said. “Maybe they wouldn’t have been disturbing 500 years ago, but they are now.”
Lambert has publicly criticized the decision, but the church did not publicly address the matter until Saturday, a day after its board met.
In a statement, the board said other issues were behind Lambert’s dismissal, but it did not say what they were.”
Should a woman in the church be able to teach in a position over a man?
