I hate the shallow worksheets and the confusing directions. I hate the fact that it disrupts the time that he should be spending outside playing. I hate the way he has to remember to pack it and unpack it and track it. As a teacher, I don’t assign homework.

Just as civil rights wasn’t just a “black issue,” women’s rights and reproductive health shouldn’t be reduced to a “women’s issue.”</p> <p>To me, actually, talk about a “war on women” in the United States seems a bit hyperbolic: in Congo or Darfur or Afghanistan, I’ve seen brutal wars on women, involving policies of rape or denial of girls’ education.

He doesn’t have a clue what 99 per cent of the people are going through. He’s never lived on that level. He’s never had to compete for a job or face eviction or struggle to get a college loan. He’s a guy that the old phrase applies to: ‘he was born on third base and thought he hit a triple’… They say this kind of rhetoric that I’m doing right now is advocating class warfare, but that’s nonsense. There is no class warfare; the war ended a long time ago and the poor lost very badly.”<br/><br/> - <em><a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/10/27/martin-sheen-romney-stupid-arrogant_n_2031344.html">Martin Sheen</a> (via <a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://bossypants.tumblr.com/">bossypants</a>)</em>http://becausereason.com/post/34579639436http://becausereason.com/post/34579639436Mon, 29 Oct 2012 14:05:07 -0500martin sheenromney<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m7a75cXZau1rri8owo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://becausereason.com/post/33602141756http://becausereason.com/post/33602141756Sun, 14 Oct 2012 18:21:15 -0500<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ma9np6mTBH1qzaal4o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://becausereason.com/post/33411001712http://becausereason.com/post/33411001712Thu, 11 Oct 2012 22:44:36 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m7dgotzNDP1qmi5uao1_500.png"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m7dgotzNDP1qmi5uao2_500.png"/><br/> <br/>http://becausereason.com/post/31557732200http://becausereason.com/post/31557732200Fri, 14 Sep 2012 20:34:24 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m9t2nuInxH1qb6t6wo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://meowremix.tumblr.com/post/30934090328">meowremix</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://ermahgerdberks.tumblr.com/post/30865222571/reblogging-again-because-it-needs-to-be-said">ermahgerdberks</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>reblogging again because it needs to be said</p> </blockquote> <p>why are people even voting for romney</p> </blockquote>http://becausereason.com/post/30993140618http://becausereason.com/post/30993140618Thu, 06 Sep 2012 08:17:12 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3gxx7vKcf1qzyhb5o1_500.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3gxx7vKcf1qzyhb5o2_500.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3gxx7vKcf1qzyhb5o5_500.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3gxx7vKcf1qzyhb5o6_500.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3gxx7vKcf1qzyhb5o3_500.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3gxx7vKcf1qzyhb5o4_500.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3gxx7vKcf1qzyhb5o7_500.gif"/><br/> <br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://bootylicious-buggy.tumblr.com/post/30221298357/bohemu-watchthelightfade-mrs-anthrope">bootylicious-buggy</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://bohemu.tumblr.com/post/30215420751/watchthelightfade-mrs-anthrope">bohemu</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://watchthelightfade.tumblr.com/post/30179346901/mrs-anthrope-lokisprisoner-this-pleases">watchthelightfade</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://mrs-anthrope.tumblr.com/post/30162780825/lokisprisoner-this-pleases-me-it-pleases-me">mrs-anthrope</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://lokisprisoner.tumblr.com/post/29595652591/this-pleases-me">lokisprisoner</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>this pleases me. </p> </blockquote> </blockquote> </blockquote> </blockquote> </blockquote>http://becausereason.com/post/30499933821http://becausereason.com/post/30499933821Wed, 29 Aug 2012 22:29:34 -0500<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m9hwa7qxyC1qzqvm2o1_400.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://lickystickypickywe.tumblr.com/post/30429308642/a-special-message-from-brazils-president-to-ann">lickystickypickywe</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>A special message from Brazil’s president to Ann Romney and her cult at the RNC.</p> </blockquote>http://becausereason.com/post/30441554825http://becausereason.com/post/30441554825Wed, 29 Aug 2012 01:28:42 -0500
