How am I to Raise a little girl?

I guess this will be a rant/rave blog. I've been sitting on this for a few days and it hasn't gotten any better. Which is good for readers I suppose. How am I to raise a little girl in the condition of the world as it is. I can't fix it so I suppose I'll have to just learn to live with it. Ok so a little background to go with my concerns. Preggers and I went to Yale New Haven hospital for a new doctors appointment. Its over an hour away and with traffic in the morning trying to get down to New Haven, it can be kind of a drag. I had a CT scan of the chest to check out my lungs at 9 am, and an appointment to see a pulmologist (lung doctor) at 2:20 so there was some time to kill. By the way pulmologist said that my cough...just a little pneumonia, here take some antibiotics.

So Sarah and I went to lunch, little local diner as we had some time to kill before 2:20 and my next appointment. She orders up a rootbeer float and I a coke no ice and we decide to split a corned beef reuben, if you've never had one they're delectible and I recommend one immediately. Ok so long intro to say that in the background Fox news is on. I don't make a habit of watching the news as is it just normally upsets me, as it did on this particular day. A man accused of videotaping the sexual assalt of a 3 year old. So this only put me in a rage, how can this man live with himself? What are they going to do to him in prison? Actually I hope he gets justice due in prison! Then I started to think about the things I would do to someone for wrong doing against my own wife let alone my daughter. I would go to prison, of that I'm sure.

Then the third thing on the list to get my goat (as gram says) was that the State of California has passed a bill banning the use of "Mom and Dad" and "husband and wife". As these are discriminatory against gays,l The bill in question is SB777 and if you look online you'll read all kinds of things about it. Until about five minutes ago I was vehemently against it and now after actually reading the bill it eased my anger only a little bit. One of the things allowed by this bill is for boys to use the girls locker room in school and vice versa if they want. Not to discriminate based on gender or the gender that the person identifies with. Ahh what the hell is this world coming to? If you have dangly bits then you're a boy and if you don't have dangly bits then you're a girl.....proceed to the proper locker room.

The first thing that annoyed me in the news was that in CT they are going to or are thinking of banning things at recess and gym that cause body banging...no more tag, no more fun games, soon it will all be just stare at each other, and we're concerned about how obese our children are becoming. Good thing McDonalds has a milk option instead of soda.....what kid wants milk as an alternative to soda? Anyway this will be the end of this rant. I have a check up appointment with the surgeon. I have to go get ready.
