Bush's Successes

Dear Reader,
I'm getting sick and tired of my fellow Americans
saying that the presidency of George W. Bush is a
failure. With the string of successes he's had,
nothing could be further from the truth. Let me list a
few:
1. He has successfully rid America of that troubling
budget surplus and turned it into a $500 billion
deficit.
2. He has successfully helped America's trading
partners have the highest trade surplus with us in
America's history.
3. He has successfully lowered the taxes for the
richest Americans and corporations at the expense of
99% of the American population.
4. He has successfully started another Viet Nam in
Iraq after lying to the whole world.
5. He has successfully pushed the price of gas up to
the highest level ever here in America.
6. He has successfully allowed American corporations
to dramatically increase their pollution.
7. He has successfully thrown about 10% of the
population out of work.
8. He has successfully allowed corporations to export
our best middle-class jobs.
9. He has successfully divided our country as never
before.
10. He has successfully driven our oldest allies away.
11. He has successfully united the terrorists as never
before (he said all along he was a uniter, not a
divider).
12. He has successfully broken his oath to uphold the
constitution of the United States of America.
13. He has successfully united Democrats (yay!) as
they haven't been for years (I told you he was a
uniter).
14. He has successfully driven me out of the
Republican party for the rest of my life.
You know, with a string of successes like that, it's a
wonder America is still standing.

Excellent points. They really need to come out with a safe male birth control instead of coming out with all kinds of different forms of Viagra (if you catch my drift). HA! It would be nice if men had to bare more of the contraceptional (if that is even a word) burden. That would surely reduce the amount of abortions and unwanted pregnancies in the world. I hope to see something like this very soon (I've got a six year old girl, and it would be nice to know that her boyfriends ten years from now will be on some form of contraceptive other than condoms, spermacide,etc, along with her :) ).
I wish you all the best and that you will be blessed with a child.
However, I don't see it as throwing away children. Even this couple who could not have children agree. What saddens and angers me even more are the children who are born to neglectful and abusive parents. Do you realize how many abused children are out there? A good friends parents were foster parents for 25 years and I could tell you some horror stories. I agree that abortion is not the greatest thing and wish it were not needed but sometimes situations arise where there is no other recourse.
I truly can understand your being angry when you are trying so hard to concieve a child yourself. But try not to let your anger control others behavior.
On a lighter note, if there are no medical reason for your difficulties in getting pregnant, try just relaxing and just let things happens. I have a true story for you. It's about an attorney I used to work for (hopefully I can't sued for this - lol). Anyway, he and his wife were trying for several years to get pregnant. They had no luck but there were no medical reasons why they couldn't. So they decided to adopt figuring they just couldn't have children. They adopted a little girl. Well, about three months later his wife found out she was pregnant! All the doctor could come up with was that they were so stressed about getting pregnant that that is why they couldn't. Once they adopted, all the pressure was off and nature took its course.
I truly hope things work out for you and you have the child you wish for.
I know SO many cases of this happening. Amazing, isn't it?
