I would love to live and let live, as they say, but religious people won’t let us. It’s a two-way street. Stop trying to control other people’s access to birth control, abortions, marriage, proper science education, proper sex ed, etc. and we’d be happy to simply go on with our lives. I want you to understand that everything we do is a response to what you do. If you stopped trying to take away our freedoms and force us to be part of your belief system, we would gladly leave well enough alone. But you don’t, so we can’t.
My granddaughter used to beat me at “Chutes & Ladders” all the time. I even tried cheating to win, but to no avail. We have not played in 15 years, so I still do not have a win over her.

There was a time, when my step-son dreaded hear the words, ‘While you are up…’ That is when I would hold out my empty coffee cup(before I started using larger MUGS). It was almost a game, where he would scoot on his but, to be out of sight, before standing up.
