Can You Conquer Boredom? Should You ?

Most everyone can have fun. Most everyone can be sad. But how many can deal with boredom? If one can endure and accept boredom as a legitimate temporay state then one can do most anything. Boredom gets a bad rap. It usually means that one is between projects or goals. Even Hurcules sat down. Treat boredom as a check out time for your personality inventory. Not someone elses idea of acceptable personality traits inventory but your own. Rushing mindlessly into novel adventures to escape boredom is the wrong conclusion.

Homosexuality: Political, Personal Or Health Issue

Yesterday Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama were being pilloried by gay and lesbian groups. The presidential hopefuls condemnations of General Peter Pace's statement that "...homosexuality was immoral" didn't meet the highest standard of political correctness outrage set by the homosexual activists.

And why should it? Homosexual behavior is a personal affair. What people do in their private lives is their own business. But by definition others view of that behavior is a personal right also. So the General's personal view was legitimate.

But homosexuality does cross over the line of a private affair when the pandemic of HIV/AIDS is considered. No one has the right to infect others with deadly diseases. In the area of communicable diseases, health issues are more important than personal issues. Some schools in our country teach the alternative life style of homosexual behavior as a valid part of their teaching curriculums. Homosexual behavior can bring about bad health issues. Learning bad health habits at school is not appropriate.
