I'm worried guys, but I'm not deterred
I spent last night throwing up and a good portion of the morning. It is something I do when I'm stressed out. I just get literally sick to my stomach.

I knew the Dr. Tiller was coming eventually. Not that I knew that a doctor in Kansas was going to be killed. I knew that the Right Wing was going to become terrorist. They turned to terrorist tactics during the Clinton Presidency and I knew that they would eventually turn to terrorist activities during a President Obama presidency. These sociopaths have a blood lust with their ideology. That mixed with the economy, and I know there will be more domestic terrorist attacks on our nation than under Clinton.

I'm sick because my friends are at risk. I'm not really sick because I'm afraid for myself, I'm sick because I know my friends are at risk. My church that allows gay couples to be openly members. At risk. My friends in the democratic party during campaign events are at risk. My friends who escort women at the women's center in Allentown are at risk (BTW 90% of the women going into the center are there for domestic violence issues, other health issues, and non-abortion birth control they are screamed at and called sluts on their way in). My friends in the LGBT community are at risk whether at their events or at their hang outs.

I'm worried for my friends.

This is on top of the economic battles we are facing. I'm not deterred but I worry for my friends.

It has begun.

2. Make friends with the friendly folks in the DU gun forum?
Not that I suggest we go all vigilante. Yet. See how it goes.

3. If you are so worried that you are constantly puking, you need to see someone and get that
sorted out. You're no good to yourself or your friends in that state.

You can't live in fear.

4. I get over it in a day
Its just something that happens. I get stressed for a day and moves on.

I'm bi-polar and a little sensitive to things.

I have seen someone, as long as I don't spend a week in bed doing it, its ok.

5. Better to puke...
:puke:

The alternative is repression, which as we all know is only part of these assholes' problems.

6. Take care of yourself. There used to be this commercial on tv that said
"If you've got your health, you've got everything." No idea what the hell they were advertising, but they're right about that.

Just make your health your first priority.
