Equal Human Rights ARE NOT Special Rights!
Video: Protests in LA
Kudos to all of you that got out across the US to Protest Prop 8 and a ban on equal rights for homosexual relationships.
STOP THE H8!

Amerrycangrrl's political compass
I am a non-partisan, but I tend to rank in the Libertarian sector on political compass questionnaires, which I tend to agree with, which leads me to wonder: would most Americans actually be Libertarians if they understood what that means and if the two party system could be stopped, or even if the Libertarian party could get it together and actually get some publicity, organization or even a reasonable candidate? I think it's possible if not even probable that most "centrist" Americans are actually closet or uninformed Libertarians in training.
Wow...It's been a while
I sure have neglected my pub friends, I hope that the staff were friendly while I've been away on a "vacation" of sorts. Things have been pretty crazy, amazing and interesting. Now I'm just contemplating whether or not to attend my high school reunion. I'm not one of those folks that "peaked" in high school so I'm not really attached to the idea of it, but there will definitely be some amazing people there and some others that I'm not necessarily looking forward to running into...I have a decision to make here and I could simply not go and not care or challenge myself. Decisions, Decisions! Well I'm going to ponder this over a bourbon and cola, and then possibly a MERRY's Pearl Harbor Martini and come to a decision. Hope you enjoy your visit here and I raise my glass to you!

sorry for my absence...
...but as life continues on for all of us, so does the roller coaster ride. All is well again and the speakeasy is still always open 24-7.
many thanks for your patronage.

The Invitation
It doesn’t interest me what you do for a living. I want to know what you ache for, and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart’s longing.
It doesn’t interest me how old you are. I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool for love, for your dream, for the adventure of being alive.
It doesn’t interest me what planets are squaring your moon. I want to know if you have touched the center of your own sorrow, if you have been opened by life’s betrayals or have become shriveled and closed from fear of further pain. I want to know if you can sit with pain, mine or your own, without moving to hide it or fade it or fix it.
I want to know if you can be with joy, mine or your own, if you can dance with wildness and let the ecstasy fill you to the tips of your fingers and toes without cautioning us to be careful, to be realistic, to remember the limitations of being human.
It doesn’t interest me if the story you are telling me is true. I want to know if you can disappoint another to be true to yourself; if you can bear the accusation of betrayal and not betray your own soul, if you can be faithless and therefore be trustworthy.
I want to know if you can see beauty, even when it’s not pretty every day, and if you can source your own life from its presence.
I want to know if you can live with failure, yours and mine, and still stand at the edge of a lake and shout to the silver of the full moon, “Yes!”
It doesn’t interest me to know where you live or how much money you have. I want to know if you can get up, after the night of grief and despair, weary and bruised to the bone, and do what needs to be done to feed the children.
It doesn’t interest me who you know or how you came to be here. I want to know if you will stand in the fire with me and not shrink back.
It doesn’t interest me where or what or with whom you have studied. I want to know what sustains you from the inside, when all else falls away.
I want to know if you can be alone with yourself and if you truly like the company you keep in the empty moments.
