Homophobics
I have been thinking since class on wednesday, and well, I still can't believe that 15 year olds (kids) are shooting other kids over homosexuality. Not that any reason for one kid killing another would ever be exceptable, but this just really shocked me. Of all the reasons to hate someone... I don't really understand the fear and hatred that surrounds the gay community, I mean, what are people so affraid of, and why would one chose to not like a person based souly on their sexual orientation? *sigh* It's just depressing.

Obama
http://http//www.youtube.com/watch?v=jjXyqcx-mYY
The more speeches and debates I watch, the more I am convinced that Obama is the candidate for me. Everytime I watch his speeches, I feel inspired. My mom was visiting this weekend and she showed me a video on youtube of a Barack Obama speech. It was called "YES WE CAN." I thought it was really cool because his speech was put to music. It made me cry in some parts like this line...
"We've been warned against offering the people of this nation false hope, but there has never been anything false about HOPE." -Barack Obama
I urge you to check it out and let me know what you think. The link is at the top of this post, or you can go to youtube and search, barack obama-yes we can. I truly believe there is hope for this country. I remain optimistic that some day we will not be a capitalist nation, that puts money and power, above love and compassion.
I find it amazing that the people of this nation will object to the lessons of evolution, but will stand for the murder of innocent people. We react in uproar when creationism is brought into the classroom, but don't seem to care about the real problems in our school systems.
I read this thing that Jay leno said the other day about how with all the problems in the U.S. is this really a good time to take, "God" out of the Pledge of Allegiance.
I know this country is full of beautiful and amazing people. I believe in our people. I believe in our nation.
"We can heal this country. We can repair the world. YES WE CAN!"
