  2) Historically, the USA has already been through a shockingly similar debate about what types of adults have the legal right to civil unions (legal marriage). For the first hundred years of our country's history, your sex determined your right to vote. Not until 1920, was women's suffrage granted by the 19th Amendment. Before then, you had to have a penis in order to vote. It reads: "The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex."

• A Summary of Evidence for Evolution

  08/11/2010 in Atheism And Religion, Science

  This is a compilation of the basics of evolution and a broad brush of the sources of evidence for evolution. Prompted by requests from friends and family to procure evidence for evolution, this is the summary of some of the most controversial subtopics of the evidence for evolution. It is meant to be a springboard for those who know little about evolution or have been told that evolution is just a belief like creationism. EVOLUTION BASICS In biology, evolution is the change in the inherited traits of a population of organisms through successive generations. Evolution does not explain how life first began, nor is it a science of cosmology, dealing with what occurred before the beginning of the known universe. Evolution is the science of how different organisms have developed and diversified since life first appeared on earth. ... continue reading

• Seriously? Two More Oil Leaks.

  07/27/2010 in Environmental, Health

  This morning a Tugboat collided with an oil rig off the coast of Louisiana. The crash caused the rig to catch fire and spew oil to leak, covering a 1 mile radius in only a half day. The tugboat driver claimed that the rig was not fully illuminated, even though it was 11am in the middle of the day. In Michigan today, Detroit News reported that and oil pipeline had burst and was flowing into tributary rivers that feed into the great lakes. The oil leaked undetected for hours before local river residents complained of an oil smell. Local residents have been evacuated as the oil contamination reached dangerous levels. It has been estimated that 1 million gallons have been spilled, the largest oil spill in the midwest according to the EPA.

  Are you a neat freak? Always cleaning with windex, pledge, air fresheners and 409? The same chemicals that may be killing all those germs in your home may also be causing breast cancer in women. Women who report greater use of cleaning products may be at higher breast cancer risk than those who say they use them sparingly. Researchers writing in BioMed Central's open access journal Environmental Health asked more than 1500 women about their cleaning product usage and found that women who reported using more air fresheners and products for mold and mildew control had a higher incidence of breast cancer. - ScienceDaily.com Continue reading... Because the FDA does not require cleaning products to list their toxic ingredients, our family decided to rid our home of all cleaners, soaps and personal products. We make our own soap and use a vinegar/water mix to clean surfaces. When we buy personal products, we research them and their ingredients and only buy products without human carcinogens or parabens.
