It's nice to know change is possible, and my hope relies on promises that were made to bring this country in a different direction, for the betterment of everyone. Simply put, and while realizing what that actually en tales, it does indeed give me hope that our new president might be the one to make it happen. We will see what happens in a few months. I voted yesterday, as did a lot of folks, and there were a few things that were interesting on the ballot.
Prop 2 was one of the only ones I voted FOR, which in theory is good, but the truth is our animal friends are still going to be treated in ways we can't possible imagine, kept under conditions that are pure torture for that animals' short, painful life, so that fat Americans can enjoy chicken salad for $5.99 whenever they feel like it. The bill passed, but I'm sure the animals in processing plants weren't cheering and waving balloons around last night.
Prop 8. The single most ridiculous pile of religious-based mumbo jumbo on the ballet. The fact it had so much momentum going in truly surprised me, considering this IS California after all. It was sold to most fat American churchgoers as something that's "protecting" the institution of marriage. What the fuck does that mean, exactly? Is this the same institution that allows hetero couples to repeatedly marry and divorce whenever they feel like it? This would also include the drunken weekend in Vegas that ended up in front of a preacher with a lisp, only to be anulled when both cousins sobered up. Once again, the religious nutbars are taking steps to control what OTHER people are doing, that will NEVER NEVER NEVER affect them in their lives, but the fact the bible says this bullshit and that line of trash, then those fucktards need to inflict their mass hallucination onto the rest of society. Because, if two men or women sleep together, then get married, God will come down from heaven and turn America into a Kenny Rogers Roasters, and we'll be the chicken! I guess we'll be glad Proposition 2 passed, so we can walk around the yard before they stick an electrode up our asses.
My point? The year is 2008, we can fly around the world at will, genetically manipulate everything from corn to the elusive Liger, we can communicate with anyone at anytime, in almost any media, and you can turn on the TV and catch Law and Order SVU- 24 hours a day! Can "we" (as a species) stop believing in superstitious nonsense and the lies being told for so many centuries -just to control primitive minds, and think critically, for ourselves? Can we accept that not everyone believes in ghosts and goblins and god? It IS all the same, completely dis proven superstition, and it proves the theory that the gap between intelligent and NOT intelligent is ever widening. If I were a greedy bastard I'd start a religion.... just like L. Ron Hubbard or Joseph Smith.
Love and accept one another. If you don't like what someone else is doing with their lives, then don't do it. Leave them the hell alone. Like going to church? Get all your churchgoing friends and lock yourselves inside your favorite non-taxpaying church, and torch it. Your question as to whether or not there is truly a god will be concluded shortly thereafter. Otherwise, and seriously: fuckoff, and leave the rest of us sinners to try and enjoy the short time we're going to be here. God sucks.
