We had a discussion here at milk milk earlier today about our personal opinions and if they should be a part of our business blog. What will we lose and whom might we alienate if we speak as bluntly online about our beliefs as we do to each other? The talk turned to our belief that NOT being personal, fence-sitting, this is what is wrong with the state of politics and public relations (which are eerily similar). Think about it…a politician can talk for hours, until you are brain-numb and want to smack him/her for not actually saying anything. It almost always becomes verbal dancing, semantics arguments, and no fricken meat in the sandwich! I say…bring back the meat! Or tofu, if that is your preference. Some substance, please!
We are opinionated people here at milk milk, it’s just the way we are…so enjoy our unsolicited schpiels with our political and social leanings proudly displayed…
And thus it begins…by this time, most everyone has seen McCain’s hemming and hawing response (or lack thereof) to the question of health insurance companies covering Viagra, but not covering birth control pills.
I think we can all agree that this health insurance policy is utterly asinine. The policy is nothing short of archaic. This particular topic of health insurance not covering birth control pills has always been a bone of contention for me, long before the onset of Viagra (which has made the glaring stupidity even more apparent). The reason is simple and has nothing to do with any “my body, my choice” argument. There are simply too many unwanted pregnancies and insurance covers abortion, but not birth control?! It is nothing short of twisted. And on top of this, they sponsor boner jams ’03…VIAGRA!
Check out this interesting footage put together by the fine folks at Planned Parenthood. It’s kind of amazing how little the public knows about where our current president and the candidates stand on women’s rights.
