I was in transitional services class today and we were talking about the losses that occur in our lives as a result of our incarcerations; a few of the guys suggested that we lose control of our girls, however, I feel that we never really had control over our girls or anyone else for that matter. I believe that a human being is not a "thing" and therefore they can not be "controlled" since they have the ability to say no and do something different.
Our perception of "control" is that someone does what we ask, suggest or order they do, however, these people only do these things because we were convincing and they chose to do them; everyone has a choice.
I'm watching CNN's Larry King Live and they have Glenn Beck, the host of Headline News talking about how there is a huge risk of the Social Security and Medicare funds being depleted. Now mind you, he's a republican and yet he is suggesting that they raise taxes in these 2 areas. Is he suggesting that he may go democratic this time around? Hmmmm.
