The Dignity of Living Beings
More precisely, the dignity of... plants. Prepare for the ridiculous as the "leaders" of the world, starting with those intrepid Swiss, cross the new moral frontier to establish "plant rights." Oh, good grief.
I'm your average woman who likes to build things (rooms, cabinets, decks...) and I design these things in my head all the time. I'm surprising myself by enjoying cooking more and more as I get older. (I always thought it was a bother earlier in life.) I love to hike, ski and snowshoe, read incessantly (politics, current events, science, some sports, and a wide range of fiction), take my camera everywhere, and don't have children. My husband gave me a Sawzall once for Christmas, and I'm still grateful. When we bought a radial arm compound miter saw I officially entered power tool heaven.
That about sums me up--except for the most important thing. I'm a Christian, and that pretty much colors my entire world view. "What Would Jesus Do?" isn't just a bumper sticker to me, although "What Would Kat Do?" frequently falls short of the mark. I'm a work in progress.
