I was at the book store yesterday buying books - one of my passions is reading, as I was searching for something that caught my eye in the teen section, this poor kid was picking out books to read and her mother wouldn't let her even look at the storyline on the back of the book before she read it. This poor kid she just wanted to read a book. Her mother should be happy she's not out partying but at the bookstore buying books. I know from experience, when my mom said I couldn't do something, I definetly wanted to do it more. That kid will be back at the bookstore, buying the book she wants to read, hiding it from her mother because mom said no. She had that look on her face like WTF? why not that book or that book or that book? Geez, let the girl read what she wants - its not like she was in the sex section of the bookstore or even the fiction horror section or the romance section - she was in the teen section of the store. Parents that censor kids reading habits, i don't get at all. Honestly there are some books in the teen section, I didn't get til I was an adult but not because it was about love or sex but because it was different wrinkles in time and at 12-13, that just didn't make sense to me. The book this girl picked up and wanted to read and her mother told her to pick another book, she couldn't read that one - I checked it was about best friends on the beach in the summer - actually quite boring for me, I flipped through, didn't see anything remotely wrong with it. Now flowers in the attic, i get why my mom didn't want me to read it now but when I was a kid, i didn't get it.

If your kid is in the bookstore instead of hanging out with friends or doing drugs, let them read what they want to read cuz maybe they'll grow up to have tons of books and a love for reading. If you censor what they read and don't allow them to make choices on their own, they are going to rebel.

again while I'm not really one for posting political stuff here, I can't really sit back and let the government shoot any animals and in this case exotic deer in point reyes national park because they can't come up with a better plan or because they won't let nature take its course in this world.

These deer didn't ask to be here in the first place, they were brought here in the 1940s and originally were brought here to be hunted but then the government made Point Reyes at national park in the 1960s and with that came the responsibility to care for the animals on the land and the hunting was banned and now they want to kill them anyways. That is so not right. Care for the animals that came with the land. There is 71,000 arces of land and only less than 1500 deer in Point Reyes. Sterilzation is more humane, stop the breeding but don't kill the wildlife.

You can sign a petition here to stop the shooting of exotic deer in Point Reyes

And more information came be found here
