npr
i was listening to npr the other day and whoever was on was taking calls on whether or not we should legalization prostitution or marijuana in order to clear up the budget deficit by taxing these "industries". I thought it was interesting that he grouped the two into the same category, though I don't like either I would definitely say that prositution is the one I would want legalized the least. I think one smart idea would probably be to not spend so much, but apparently that is not an option.
His other arguments were:
1. Do you see these two things go away anytime soon?
2. He compared it to prohibition and said that during prohibition the government was "making criminals" out of ordinary citizens, and was comparing it to what the government is doing now with laws against prostitution/marijuana.
So I don't see murder going away anytime soon, maybe we should tax that because it's not going away and the government is just making criminals out of people by making laws against murder. haha.
ok. i just had to rant somewhere.

getting the band (Nancy Distributor) back together
it was a good weekend, I had a Haiti meeting on Thursday. Then I went to San Diego and saw a bunch of people that it had been far too long since I had seen. I also had two plates of the best Carne asada fries ever at Cotixan which is always amazing. John and I got the band back together Saturday night and recorded a new song at http://www.myspace.com/nancydistributor (ok it is a cover, but it's funny). Then Sunday morning I went to Flood with kooker and his gf - Flood is where I started going before I got saved so I kind of just sat back and thought all that God has done in almost 6 years. I also realized I am turning 30 this year, which is kind of shocking. Oh well. We are still deciding whether or not to go to Turkey next month, but I am really hoping we do go. Life is so short and in the time I was driving all around this weekend I realized how life as we define it in America often conflicts with what God may have planned for our lives. But God can definitely and does work in and through even the silly things we do with our lives to bring us close and closer to Him. Sometimes I think man if I wouldn't have gone to college I wouldn't be in debt, but then I think of how I got saved in college and what a great experience it was and how I have made some really lasting friendships and I don't know that I would trade those experiences to be out of debt. God has me in the boring south bay for a reason, and I'm still working on exactly what that is. But right now here I am and I am just going to follow where He wants me to go and try to not let the business of my life get in the way of what is truly important.
