When the internet was in its infancy, we got hooked up by our local ISP. Not fully understanding the system yet, we signed up and got our email account through our provider. So for years our email was tied to our internet service provider.

One day we had some issues with our cable and decided to switch. This brought to light a problem, we would now have to change our email address. We would have to notify every person we ever emailed, and every company we ever created a login that our address is now changed. To this day (4 years later) I still occasionally come across something I signed up for that still has the old email address as my primary one.

When we switched this time, we decided to sign up with a generic email that was not tied to any internet service provider. So now no matter where I go, no matter who I sign up with, or where I live, I will always have the same email address.

The new email account gives me one less major thing I have to worry about should I no longer have the money for my ISP or I have to move to another state or I just want to switch to a new provider.

I have worked for companies I hated for the sole purpose of a great health plan and I have a healthy family. I can imagine the stress of someone raising a family with major health issues. Now people have the flexibility to choose work based on other factors, like their skills, knowing that no matter where they work or where they move they will always be covered.

Sorry Morning Joe folks, the ACA will not push people out of the workforce, it will give people the choice and the freedom to utilize their talents...in terms that the right can understand...as God intended.

Should we forgive the terrorists?

I have a great time in lively debates with my conservative friends. Yes I have conservative friends. Not only that but my wifes family is full of neocons. John Birch society members. So I get all kinds of emails. I guess I'm on their list of people to convert.

Good luck with that one....

Most emails are fairly benign. They just strike up the usual debate on various hot button issues. But there was one that rubbed me the wrong way.

More after the fold...

I am a devout Christian. I sing in a contemporary praise band. I am an Elder in my Presbyterian Church (the youngest ever). I believe that Jesus is my lord and savior. And my kids are home schooled through a Christian umbrella school (more about this below the fold). However...

I am also a lifelong Liberal Democrat.

As much as I thought Blair was a suck up to our illustrious leader during a time when we didn't need him to be, I still thought he was a great statesman.

He gave a farewell speech to the Labour Party the other day which was not covered much here, and it showed how great a speaker he is....

Follow this link to a great article on how we, as Dems, can use some of his advice...
