  Whitewater=Enron???

  by Julie in

  since we have so many right-leaning politically speaking posters, i was wondering what comments they might be willing to offer up on this column i caught this morning.. http://www.observer.com/pages/conason.asp.

  i am sure most of those who are quick to criticize anything that even remotely relates to clinton are all whitewater experts by now.

  i would enjoy reading what thoughts you may have on the parallels and even how enron makes whitewater look like a trip to the penny candy store.. hoping some conservative can help me feel less screwed by my republican administration,.

  2002, Starting Over

  since i "came out" in more than one way 13 years ago, i have basically only had gay friends.

  i am friendly with one or two people at work, but these friendships do not extend into my personal life.

  recently this has turned into just having bear friends.

  Here's the situation:

  We are meeting with a lawyer to draw up our will. We have one child (19 months). We need to have a legal guardian for our child if something should happen to both of us.

  After weighing all the responsibilities and demands (age, time, finances, love) of this, the only people who would be able to are my JW parents. I know they will provide a very loving, stable home for her - but they are part of the borg.

  We don't want our child to be raised JW - but we also don't want her in foster care as a ward of the state.

  How much can we stipulate in the will as regards her upbringing? Can we insist that if she needs a blood transfusion she will get one??

  Anyone else had this situation come up??

  I know my husbands family will be very involved (they are all non-JW) although none of them are in a position to raise her. They also will be a thousand miles away from her.

  *sigh* it is really depressing dealing with the idea that we wouldn't be around to see her grow up or that she would lose us. I know the will is just precautionary - but it still is scary.

  so here's the list with some of my comments:.
