Home Rule Cities and God's Dominion

Today I am thankful for being spiritual.

I'm researching breed ban legislation.

I've met someone else from Arvada whose hobby is saving pit bulls. He says that Aurora is hiding behind home rule status as an excuse to kill service dogs.

I can actually see this. The former city attorney played that game with my family some years ago.

They were wrong.

We sued.

They were quick to settle.

I want to know when it became acceptable for cities to claim an exemption from Federal and State law due to home rule status?

There is no truth to that. It's just an argument cities use to enforce unethical laws. Seriously.....cities cannot use home rule status to deprive citizens of rights guaranteed by Federal or State law.

If Aurora and Denver would prefer, we could play around and put a constitutional amendment on the ballot clarifying that they have no right to mess with the rights the State and Federal government confers to them.

Geesh! Why can't people just behave?

How can we get rid of home rule? If they want to keep it, they best not abuse it any longer.

Next thing ya know, they'll claim dominion over the affairs of the Gods. Okay, that may be a stretch.

Aurora will not be able to get away with that game forever. This is not going to last.

Sigh....

I'd best get to work.

I pray they change their behavior before I play my hand.

Love ya,

Stalker Proxy Phone Calls

What kind of songs do narcissistic stalkers sing? I imagine they sing songs like this. I am grateful now that I understand why the stalker has people call but wish they'd listen when I ask them not to call again. I probably should document this somewhere. My ex was talking to an old friend of mine from high school on a daily basis. She is his cousin. I had to quit talking to her when she'd ask me to plan parties and then refuse to give me the guest list saying that the attendees would only be me, her, my stalker Shannon, and my NPD mother-in-law. She wanted me to plan interventions. This happened with a baby shower. It also happened with a wedding. The in-laws put together a fake wedding trying to host an intervention to shame me and my ex into doing things for them (like quit school and give them my car). I had to cut this so-called friend off over that in 2004. We ran into her at a Wal-mart in 2005 and my keys went mi

The Love Gods Have a Sense of Humor

Today I am thankful about the ever-changeable, ever-humorous universe. It is said that 'in life, the only constant is change.' Ah, this is a true tidbit, isn't it? I recently vowed NOT to date until Michael officially moves out of the house. I also vowed NOT to be close to him unless he signs up for FOO (Family of Origin) and Relationship counseling. I've been with the man nearly a quarter of a century, he's not going to go to therapy to have a relationship with me. He plays games with money, divorce agreements, custody arrangements, transportation, and all sorts of things to keep me stuck here. It's nothing money and a lawyer can't solve. ***** They say that dysfunctional people have three weapons that they use to keep people under their thumb. The acronym is FOG. Yes, they are FOG machines. What does FOG stand for? F ear O bligation -and- G uilt Yes, there is fear. Fear that he won't honor his financial

Personality Theory

Today I am thankful for personality theory. I can't say that I buy into it very much. People change over the course of their lives. Healthy people grow. Unhealthy people either stay static or regress. So what one tests today may change tomorrow. I do believe that personality theories (even ancient ones like astrology) create self-fulfilling prophecies. If people buy into it, it gives a lot of insight into their characters, needs, and behaviors. I've spent most of my adult life studying personality theories. From Eric Fromm's theory's about authoritian -vs- mature personalities and how authoritians fear power while mature people revel in it to Jung's introvert -vs- extrovert theory. A major one of interest to me is an offshoot of Jung, it is the MBTI type inventory. When I'm happy, I'm a textbook INFJ. When I'm pissed off and wanting to strangle my ex, I act like a ESTP. My ex is a ESTP and when he is stressed out
