So I'm having an interesting conflict today.

I'vew been fighting for two days to have the Prestige Award for blood Drives reduced becasue the FDA has discriminatory practices. The rub is that the discrimination is helpful, in not strictly neccissary, that the restrictions don't actually affect me, and that I really do support the idea of blood drives.  Also , there's that naggling little point that the most obvious of thier discrimination, that against gays, is one I share on a personal level. I can't help but wonder today if I should be more bothered by the fact that while I don't condone homosexuality, I'm willing ot take a stand to protect the rights of homosexuals. Is that being a good American? Is it being a bad christian?  Times like these I really wish there was a passage in teh gospel where Christ interacted with an openly gay male. Really help answer that who;e What would Jesus do issue.

I think maybe tomarrow I'll start going over some of my old fiction and getting it cleaned up and moving again. I jsut can't help but fear that someone will steal my ideas and use them. It's irrational, because I even suspect people like the Popes, though I know full well they've got no desire to have my work, and wouldn't use it as thier own even if they did. I guess that's paranoia.

Speaking of , Jim butcher gets my new favorite Paranoia quote "Just because your Paranoid doesn't mean there's not an invisable demon about to eat your face." I like....
