Promoting "responsible" procreation?

The weekend was great.  We had the boys and we got to celebrate our 6th anniversary.  This Super Bowl was actually the exact date that we met at a party for Super Bowl XL.  I don't recall the final score but I know the Steelers beat the Seahawks.

ST was actually in London so dinner Friday night only PJ , Farmer V and his best friend KO joined us and the boys for dinner.  The husband made chicken chassaur and I made pecan pie for dessert.  We got my youngest to actually eat most of what he was served.  I think that had to do with an email I sent him describing how a young woman in the UK almost died mainly due to her diet of chicken nuggets and nothing else, lol.  The pecan pie was a massive hit.  Everyone asked if they could have more and I said no as I had to save a piece for ST.

Saturday I did my short weekend run- 4 miles and it was ok.  Then we did a bunch of things around the house and then we went and saw Chronicle.  I am ambivalent when it comes to "found footage" films as very few are actually that good- The Blair Witch Project and Cloverfield come to mind- and some are stinkers- The Devil Inside according to most. 

Sunday I had to do my long weekend run- 8 frackin' miles.  I was seriously tempted to blow it off but the husband totally goaded me into it so I told him he had to run it with me.  As we start he tels me I get to set the pace- he always says that and then decides to pass me so I laughed at him.  He actually did let me set the pace and we did 8 minute miles the whole way- totally pumped I got that pace done.

I took the boys home and then I got home and showered up and the husband and I were off to the city for our friends Super Bowl party.  I am not really a Giants fan but I cannot abide the Patriots at all even though Tom Brady is smokin' hot.  Lawrence Tynes however comes pretty damn close.  I am positive that once the rioting started in Boston after the lose it ended with a typical chant of "Yankees suck, Yankees suck..."

Over the course of my career I have come to the conclusion that equities are nothing more than perpetual calls.  I mean they entitle you to a possible claim on some future earnings.  I mean think about it- owning a stock is similar to being an absentee bar owner.  Your employees- the bartenders (aka corporate management) is ripping you off.  The bar is doing great business, has the best happy hour in town and is the hot spot where the beautiful people hang out.  The bartenders are  allowing just enough of a profit to keep the owner from giving up on selling the bar.  I am not sure where the debt markets fall into this hypothesis maybe the suppliers?  Congress is definitely the mob running a protection racket for the bar tenders.

So the courts in California ruled Prop 8 was unconstitutional.  The one dissenter wrote that he wasn't convinced that there couldn't have been a rational basis for citizens to enact the law, such as promoting responsible procreation and optimal parenting.  I mean does that mean all single parents are not optimal parents?  Are people who have children procreating in an irresponsible manner?  If so does that mean they should have their rights restricted as well?  I don't know about you but to me that sounds like code for the Bible tells him so....

I am not at all interested in seeing Star Wars in 3D- any of the episodes.  Sadly even though I cannot stand Nicholas Cage and thought Ghost Rider sucked I will probably most likely go see the new Ghost Rider flick when it comes out.
