Big Momma has been following some of the news, not something I do often, and I'm as usual annoyed.
I read this cold morning in our local rag, that a aircraft carrier Captain has lost his job over video's that he made a couple years back. In said video his intention is to boost the moral of his men on his Naval ship with some joking videos. The videos have some not so kind language about homosexuals, women on women action, masturbation, and just basic......well dumb men stuff. Other crew men AND women participated in the making of these videos, which are now under the focus of the how world.
Now, I love the gays. I have many many friends that are gay. And as a women I, as many other women, don't appreciate being exploited in any way. With that said, the Captain was reported to have said that he has received complaints about these videos for years. So why are we JUST now doing something about it? Isn't this a little like finding out your daughter slipped out the bedroom window 15 years after she did it and then trying to put your 30 year old over your knee and spanking her? Something should have been done then. Because now it's showing that we are willing to take a stand, for women and for gays, just years later. We we are supposed to be some country that is leading the world by example, what kind of example does that set? Let them get away with it till they get caught? Come on people! Get with it! This is the kind of thing that needs to be addressed right away. Why wasn't it? Why did it slip through whatever loophole till now? Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr THIS is why Big Momma doesn't read the news.
And please feel free to comment all you would like. And yes, I mean you. I know you are reading this and you have loads of your own opinions. (He knows who he is.)
Still no response from the BM (NO not that kind of BM, Baby Momma's Silly). And thankfully Lil Momma has not said anything more about wanting more information about her siblings. I haven't given up total faith. Because when I do then I feel I may be giving up on the fact that people care about the future of their children. So one day at a time. While she is kissing the photo of her SD goodnight every night. I keep reminding myself that no matter what. You cant make someone be something they can't or won't be. You just be the best at what you can be. And hope that is enough.
Being the best you can be is always the best thing to do. But, you have to be willing to pay attention and learn something new. You also have to be willing to knock the door to some where new open!
ReplyDeleteThe news is all biased now. It's either progressive or conservative. Hardly any news or media reports anything as the should. You are right that discipline for people who do wrong takes WAY too long. Thank our government for that one!
