She knew in her 2nd trimester that her fetus had Downs and choose to keep it anyway. Her body, her choice. But as typical with the Pro-Life crowd..they are all about birthing but once they are born ..Oh What to do? What to do?? Oh wait.. I can run for VP and escape my Maternal responsibilities for the next 4 months. and maybe 4 years …

So much for her being in with the “family values”…

and I still cannot understand those Pro-”LIFERS” that are also Pro-Death penalty. Once again..its all about giving birth but nothing about what happens after that cord is cut. If you are PRO-LIFE ..doesn’t that mean Cradle to grave???

Any person who lies awake at night worrying about the private pleasures of other consenting adults has more than just too much time on his hands; he has some unjustifiable beliefs about the nature of right and wrong.

I think I may need to place greater emphasis on this quote, it illustrates one my biggest problems with society.

“There are too many ideas and things and people. Too many directions to go… the reason it matters to care passionately about something is that it whittles the world down to a more manageable size.”

I imagine the quote is probably lifted from the original book, The Orchid Thief, but I’m too lazy to verify that much. If you need to know, find out for yourself and let me know.

For those of you who haven’t seen the movie, it’s brilliant because it identifies itself so transparently. Remember that much when you watch it and you’ll find it brilliant too, I’m sure. This is not an assumption, it is a command. Trust me.

For those of you who have seen the movie, and understood it, you might find it funny that I paused the flick, copied the above quote, then wrote in my journal for about thirty minutes about both my own struggles to find passion and my general lack of focus when I do have it. After that, every turning point in the plot put me into hysterics.
