wow, first thoughts. ( scrambled brains on all this )

Hermann Cain, PSU scandal, Christmas Tree Tax, Facebook Teacher, .... Its a long list. Not sure where to begin. Here goes.

1) Hermann Cain. I don't know what happened, but if the allegations are true, then I don't know if we have any viable candidates left in the GOP. Of course harassment is wrong. If we go only on everyone's word, then its very hard to decide the truth, since Cain's words are different than the ( what is it now ) four women's words. I will have to wait and see how it turns out.

2) PSU Scandal. That Sandusky guy belongs in Jail. I am glad he was arrested. Whether Joe P, or the University President knew, I can't say. If they knew, than I am glad they are removed from office. I can't understand what moral compass the PSU student rioters follow, but clearly its different than my own. I guess money is what matters to some, and school pride to others. What matters to me is the despicable evil that was inflicted upon these children, which you know I am well acquainted with.  Maybe PSU itself should be brought up on both criminal and civil charges. I don't like to rush to judgement, but all signs point to a catastrophic, mass, lack of either morality or oversight. That being said, my main concern is the children. I hope, if nothing else, that they aren't forced in many years of silent screaming pain, like I was.I hope they all are getting the needed attention now. In fact, if I could, I would go and speak to them, or speak about this event in any public media or forum. If anyone knows how I can get any such opportunities, please let me know. I would love to help these boys heal much earlier in life than I have. I will pray for them.

3) Facebook Teacher: Can't comment on the details, I can only say its very important to be extremely careful about what you put on facebook or any place on the internet. Its true that this blog is such a risk, but for me, its a risk worth taking. However, a teacher should never say anything such as the teacher in question said. I won't comment on the judge's decision.

4) Christmas Tree Tax: HUH? The government doesn't like christmas because of Christ. But now they want more money to promote the trees, that are already extremely popular. Crazy.
