Oh the things we wish we had. Everyone rememebers sitting down and watching tv and seeing the commerical of that thing you just had to own.But rarely do we later recall the things we wanted because that would tell you why you never got it.
This is from the Buffy eposide Once More With Feeling. I love that eposide. The song is called Walk Through The Fire
BUFFY: I touch the fire and it freezes me I look into it and it’s black Why can’t I feel? My skin should crack and peel I want the fire back
Now, through the smoke she calls to me To make my way across the flame To save the day or maybe melt away I guess it’s all the same
So, I will walk through the fire Cause where else can I turn? I will walk through the fire And let it – -
SPIKE: The torch I bear is scorching me And Buffy’s laughing I’ve no doubt I hope she fries I’m free if that bitch dies! I better help her out…
SWEET: Cause she is drawn to the fire
SWEET: Some people never learn / SPIKE: She will never learn
SPIKE AND SWEET: And she will walk through the fire And let it – -
GILES: Will this do a thing to change her? Am I leaving Dawn in danger? Is my slayer too far gone to care?
XANDER: What if Buffy can’t defeat it?
ANYA: Beady Eyes is right We’re needed! …Or we could just sit around and glare
ANYA, GILES, TARA, WILLOW, AND XANDER: We’ll see it through It’s what we’re always here to do So, we will walk through the fire…
(Buffy and Tara’s following verses overlap.) BUFFY: So one by one, they turn from me TARA: I guess my friends can’t face the cold What can’t we face But why I froze, not one among them knows If we’re together? And never can be told
(These three parts are sung mostly in unison.)
PART I
ANYA: She came from the grave much graver
SPIKE: First, he’ll kill her, then I’ll save her
TARA: Everything is turning out so dark
SPIKE: No, I’ll save her, then I’ll kill her
WILLOW: I think this line is mostly filler
GILES: What’s it going to take to strike a spark?
PART II
BUFFY: Going through the motions Walking through the part These endless days are finally ending in a blaze
PART III
SWEET: So one by one, they come to me The distant redness as their guide That single flame Ain’t what they had in mind It’s what they have inside. She will come to me!
BUFFY, ANYA, GILES, SPIKE, TARA, WILLOW, AND XANDER: And we are caught in the fire At the point of no return So we will walk through the fire And let it Burn Let it burn Let it burn! LET IT BURN!
A popular women’s magazine in the UK recently featured an article entitled, Young, Single and Sterilized, in which women in their 20’s discussed why they had undergone an operation to prevent them from ever having children. The article is little more than PR for a “women’s charity” called Marie Stopes International, an organization that carries out abortions and sterilizations and was founded by a Nazi eugenicist who advocated compulsory sterilization of non-whites and “those of bad character”.
The story appears in a weekly magazine called Love It . One of the women featured in the article, Chloe, explains why she decided to have herself sterilized at the age of just 20.
“By the time I was 18, I knew I was never going to change. I couldn’t imagine letting something take over my body and then my whole life.”
“I couldn’t even look at a baby without feeling uncomfortable.”
Following the sterilization procedure, Chloe celebrates the fact that “I’ve got a lifetime of going out ahead of me now,” presumably meaning going out, getting mindlessly drunk and having sex with random strangers, as is British culture, while not having to worry about the risk of pregnancy or the responsibility of looking after a child.
