All you can ask of yourself is to handle Today; really it's all you can ask of the Universe.
Yesterday is over and has no power except that which you give it Now, in this Moment; Today.
Tomorrow is vague and unknowable, good or bad. A focus on Tomorrow can only lead to the pain of worry or the angst of...

The Best Mothers Day Gift Ever
Rape.
The word conjures pictures of women beaten or battered into forced intercourse with a stranger, having been caught unawares in a parking lot, a deserted street, a back alley or somewhere she should not have been, alone (as if women should not be able to walk anywhere they choose worry free).
But, here is the reality (Statistics from...

Who's keeping the change?!?
I have been watching with hopeful vigilance as Mr. Obama's first 100 days have inched they're way to completion. And, in general I have been incredibly impressed with my President. These are trying, eventful times and he and his administration have met these challenges with substantive policy and a real willingness, sometimes too much so IMO, to cross the isle and...

Swinging For The Fences
I am mad at myself. Rather, I am disappointed in myself. Battered by the anti-intellectual, jingoistic, bigoted right wingers who have dominated public debate for the last 20 years and who had finally found their face-man in a C-average, failed business leader who claimed a calling from God, I dug in and for 8 years I kept my head down. I...

"...To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more. It is a tale

thank you 
I have decided I have things to say, about politics and religion, about morality and ethics, about sex and sexuality, about life in general.
SG will be a forum for that. If you don't like it, don't read it. I am not writing this for you, I am writing it for me. I will post as fancy directs me.
I won't be answering flames that...

"I am an agnostic humanist - I respect your right to worship your god as you see fit. But please, I pray, recognize that your right to your religious beliefs ends where it attempts to enforce itself on non-believers, even (or especially) for their own good."
Sometimes when I go out, I am accosted by men offering my jossticks, and then asking for a donation for their religion. This annoys me. Do you think people have the right to do this? I guess its just a sneaky form of fundraising.

I would find this extremely annoying at best. But, I don't think it rises to the level of "enforc(ing) itself on non-believers" though. What I'm really talking about there are attempts to legislate actions or moral code to fit your particular religious beliefs.
There are lots of issues where religion raises its ugly head:
1. Gay Rights
2. Prostitution
3. Abortion
4. Prayer in Schools
So to answer your question, Yes they have the right to accost you with their offer just as you have the right to ignore them or choose not to take the incense. But taking my gay friend's right to marriage away because you believe your god opposes it is not simply unacceptable.
Hopefully the US is heading into a new era where our President won't think he's taking direction directly from God. We got 2 DAYS!!!!!
