thinking a lot lately

for the past few days, i have been seriously pondering my stance on a few major issues. ive narrowed my major issues down to basically life, life for humans, animals, our children and future generations. i guess i have always been an environmentalist in that i think the world would be much better off if we respected the environment more and had stopped our civilization before we had taken ourselves out of evolution (anyone who read Ishmael might get that). i want to be a leaver, not a taker.
i have also pretty much come to the conclusion that i dont ever want to have an abortion. of course there are exceptions like the baby has some fatal disease and is not going to live through childbirth and there arises some compication where i would also not live through childbirth, then i would consider abortion. but also very important to me is the fact that i get to make that choice. with another 4 years of bush coming up, i am beginning to wonder if that choice is in jeopardy. i dont ever want to tell another woman to suck it up and have the baby, if she doesnt want to, its her life.
the last important issue for me, which ties into these other two, is the future generations. i want my great great grandchildren to be able to find a right whale. i want them to be able to see polar bears outside of zoos. i want them to be able to go outside in a city and not worry about dying from polution. i want them to be able to live a safe and happy life with proper morals and ideas. i want there to be everything that i had and more.
so, basically that is what i have been thinking about a lot, and for any of you who havent read Ishmael, i seriously recommend it, it changed my life.
i guess now i will go back to reading ochem and shakespeare. to everyone, have a wonderful day.
