“If you can’t love yourself, how the hell you gonna love somebody else?” - RuPaul - - - - - - - - - - - “if by a "Liberal" they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people -- their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights, and their civil liberties -- someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicions that grip us in our policies abroad, if that is what they mean by a "Liberal," then I'm proud to say I'm a "Liberal.” - John F. Kennedy - - - - - - - - - - - - “Imagine finding someone you love more than anything in the world, who you would risk your life for but couldn’t marry. And you couldn’t have that special day the way your friends do – you know, wear the ring on your finger and have it mean the same thing as everybody else. Just put yourself in that person’s shoes. It makes me feel sick to my stomach …. When I shared a picture of my tattoo on my Twitter page and said, ‘ALL LOVE is equal,’ a lot of people mocked me – they said, ‘What happened to you? You used to be a Christian girl!’ And I said, ‘Well, if you were a true Christian, you would have your facts straight. Christianity is about love.’ The debate resulted in a lot of threats and hate mail to people who agreed and disagreed with me. At one point I had to say, ‘Dude, everyone lay off.’ Can’t people have friendly debates about sensitive topics without it turning into unnecessary threats?” - Pop star Miley Cyrus on her marriage equality tattoo - - - - - - - - - - -

Movies to Watch - Maybe: Contagion

So what do all the following actors have in common?
They star in a movie together.... yep, it's another virus outbreak movie.  Never seen one?  I'm going to pretend you didn't ask yourself that question.

So yea, Gwyneth Paltrow plays  a character in the movie,"Contagion" who contracts the "bird flu."  Well, the Avian Flu, but oh well, "tomato, toe-ma-to," same thing.  And Matt Damon plays her grieving husband.  Yea she dies!  I didn't spoil it dammit - it's in the trailer. geez!

Point of the movie, someone gets the virus, touches another person, the virus spreads, a gazillion people die, and our cities become a wasteland.  Think "28 days" later without the zombies, think Stephen King's, "The Stand" without the prophet of God.  Would you watch it? Probably so.

Looks good. Scary to think that this could possibly happen in real life though.
