Gay Marriage
I believe we are all equal. It's pretty simple. We are all human, therefore; we all have the same rights and freedoms. Of course my view is not shared across the board. I just read this article in The Toronto Star. I suppose you should be careful what you wish for. However, I do not really see what the issue is. They split all their assets and came to an amicable settlement. So move on. If you really want a divorce do what the Carnies do and ride the merry-go-round backwards.

In response to Andrea
Andrea, thank you so much for pointing out the other day at dinner that I have waffled on the Starbucks issue. Yes, about 4 months into my Chai free life I caved. When I went to Virginia in June I stopped into a Starbucks and that was fatal. The American Chai Latte was always a bit different in flavour and this small difference got me hooked all over again.
Therefore; Andrea, I have not saved any money. I have returned to my old ways; I am spending away my future on a 16oz steamed tea. Then, this morning, I dropped into the SB at Queen and Yonge. They were almost out of soy, however, the Barista said she had just enough....I was concerned. Then she pulled out SILK SOY! I was thrilled. They had to go out and buy soy to bridge the gap in their inventory and they bought the original Soy brand; Silk. Was I ever so excited to have my original drink!
Then I took a sip. It was a betrayal all over again Andrea, but in reverse! It just does not taste the same and same is what I am looking for. In this uncertain life I crave something that I can count on. I need to know that everyday I can get and enjoy the same drink I had enjoyed the day before. I don't want something new and different. New and different is for careers and cars. Same. I crave sameness and SB is messing with that.
So, Andrea, still I struggle. I would like to give it all up but I just can't. I toy with myself and say I will not have one until the weekend. But then something happens, like they ask me to work overtime. I say yes and then I need to the sameness of my Chai to work through the extra hours. Or, I get bored, which is fatal for me. I need to have or do something so I go get a Chai.
Today, I am already considering getting another Chai at lunch. I need to experience the sameness of the drink I love, or have come to love. Or is it the drink I have trained myself to love. I am not sure but regardless Andrea, I think we should leave that alone and accept and understand the need for sameness. Today at lunch I will set the world back on its axis, get the train back on track and set myself down the path of sameness by ordering a Chai with the new and different Soy.
Andrea, now that you understand my need for sameness I am sure you will refrain from pointing out the contradictions of my life. I realize I pour it all out here on my Blog but that does not mean you have to draw attention to my obvious flip flops. I am always up for close scrutiny and confrontation but not about me or my life. However, I understand why you would do what you did. If the tables were turned I would have done the same thing.
