Little Miss Perfect: Pageant Parents Go Way Too Far – MamaPop™.com.
Please stop telling your daughter that she is only valuable for her looks, performance, and sexuality. Your just going to make her into another vapid, neurotic mess that is “past her prime” as a junior in college.
Sure, little girls like to dress up, show off, and be the center of attention. That’s part of allot of kids development into self identifying persons. But for an adult to exploit such an innocent norm is perversion at it’s finest. For the parent of the child to exploit it… there is a special place in hell for such evil, and Hitler is glad he didn’t end up there.
What ever happened to protecting our sons and daughters? When did we stop nurturing them and start treating them as show dogs, little pets to do tricks and show off for us. In actuality, you are just showing off your own neurosis and shallow self identity.
Get some therapy, and let your child be a kid.
One laptop per child
How cool is this? One laptop per child is a program to get a laptop into the hands of every child in developing countries.
The mission of One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) is to empower the children of developing countries to learn by providing one connected laptop to every school-age child. In order to accomplish our goal, we need people who believe in what we’re doing and want to help make education for the world’s children a priority, not a privilege.
Now until November 26, 2007, there are doing a cool thing: when you give $399 ($200 is tax deductible) to get a laptop into the hands of a kid, they will give you one for a child in your life.

Another Voice
I don’t know how I feel about the whole “global warming” scare. I just have a hard time blindly believing people telling me that something horrible is about to happen, so I should join there bandwagon. I don’t know, maybe that makes me un-compassionate and “right winged” or something.
Anyway, here is a video that is giving a dissenting voice. Well put together, and interesting, I think. I hope we will all take a step back, and try to find and sort out the facts.
Father, Husband, Theological Dreamer, Web Designer, Photographer, Coffee Chugger... Jesus obsessed & dreaming of a better Christianity. It's kind of like listening to a cross between guerrilla radio and a street corner prophet with a bad case of tourettes.
