Caylee's Law

I wasn't going to post anything more on the Casey Anthony case however my Father brought this to my attention. I knew, whether I liked it or not. That Casey would get away with whatever she did, however to hear that she was not convicted of child abuse just baffles me. If I was to leave my child unattended while I so much as went to Wal-mart, you better believe my butt would have been hauled to jail. As it should! However, due to some freak loop hole abuse currently is not the same as neglect. Casey NEGLECTED her child, I dont much care if she was the ideal Motherly figure for a mere two years, she neglected that poor girl when she went so long without reporting her missing. For that alone, she should have been convicted of child abuse and neglect, regardless of no previous abuse reports. I cannot tell you the happiness I felt, knowing that a petition to put in place, "Caylee's Law" has already been filed so that in the future neglectful parents will be held accountable for such ruthless acts of carelessness.

Do you fear love?

   Every fear has a name. A fear of drowning/water is an aquaphobia. A fear of Spiders, arachnophobia. There is pretty much a fear of everything imaginable and with that fear comes some unique or not so unique title with phobia at the end. A fear of love...do you have it? If you do, then lets name it. Philophobia, a fear of falling in love. I believe this fear is becoming an epidemic. I cant help but ask why? Why would someone, anyone want to fear love, giving and receiving but if anything atleast giving. When you ask someone who has a fear of love, why? They almost undoubtedly state because I was hurt. Well, aren't we all hurt? Don't we all get hurt by love at some point or another? If you fall off the bike, do you never try again? Or do you rather, get up, dust your self off, take the wisdom obtained in what not to do and place that into the opportunity of trying again? If you're anything like me, you have the pleasure of getting hurt repeatedly. I read somewhere that people dont want to love because they can't understand it. Well, there is plenty in life I dont understand but love, the emotion, is not one of them.

   I have discussed my ideals, visions, thoughts of what love is and what it should be, how to give it and certainly how to receive love, many people have enjoyed my take, my two cents. Never have I found someone who didn't debate my logic, something I seem to grasp so easily. They simply bask in the glow of my imagination before moving on, returning to reality. Although they enjoy their short stay in my world, never do they hang around too long. I am starting to think I have been beaten. How does the old saying go? "If you can't beat em, join em?"
