The President controls few things that on a day to day basis affect my life. He is largely a figure head, scapegoat at times, and poster boy for a political agenda that is barely radical or capable of stimulating mass “change” in our country. This is why I did not vote.

It’s astonishing to me that people in California have chosen to revoke rights granted to their fellow Americans. It’s like a recall on freedom and equality - a very messed up one. It’s my opinion that the Presidential race for office overshadowed the issue going down with Prop 8 and it didn’t receive nearly enough press and awareness. I’m disappointed and still having trouble grasping why time and time again history has proven that there are no human rights unless explicitly granted to you on a piece of paper.

I’m not a proponent of religion, or blind believer - but I do believe that Christians have largely overlooked the fact that when Jesus came about, his only commandments were to love god and love others. Throw out that old testament crap and stop hating. Get out of people’s bedrooms, accept that not everyone thinks and believes the same thing you do, and realize that you shouldn’t have the right to make decisions that place one group of people as lesser or not worthy of rights you have.

I’m really hoping for a recount or something.
