Live and let live

Why must we tell others how to live their lives? Why must we tell others what they should believe? How can we legislate morality and why do we think that we must?

People have told me that because I am pro gay marriage that my belief is controversial. I hate to disagree with them, but I do believe that two people loving each other that are willing to devote their lives to each other is not controversial. I believe that hating someone for loving is controversial. How does what Rosie O'Donnell does effect or affect my marriage (I'll give ya a clue... it doesn't).

My marriage is between me, my wife, and my god. The rest of you can stay the hell out. If you are against gay marriage, don't marry someone that is gay. If you are against abortion, don't have one. If you are against owning firearms, don't buy one.

Why can't the government stay out of marriage? Is it not a religious rite? I know that they are already issuing marriage licenses and won't want to lose that cash-cow, so they can start issuing civil papers for all. That way all people would be treated equally under the law.

How do you make abortion illegal when a woman can mutilate her body without anyone's approval to get one (and possibly kill herself in the process)? If she's that desperate there is no telling what she'd try to get one. This is why abortion is legal in this country. If you don't want one, don't get one. Nobody is forcing you to do it.

If you are against marijuana, don't smoke it. How can you make a grass that grows wild in all 50 states without human intervention illegal? Make fescue illegal? You can't do it. All you create is a black market... and we all know that black markets can't be regulated at all.

DC has a ban on firearms. What does this create? It means that the person that is shooting at you won't have to dodge your bullets if you are a law abiding citizen. How does this help you? It doesn't. What ever happened to the right to bear arms?

"The natural progress of things is for liberty to yield, and government to gain ground."
Thomas Jefferson, 27 May 1788 (105 years before my ETS from the US Army)

Men are all dogs

Ok. This is one of my favorite subjects that most don't take time to listen to the whole thing before they get mad.

All men are dogs (in the sexual context).

Here's why:

What are people? animals

What is the number one driving force in animals after food, water, and shelter? propagation of their species

How does the human race accomplish this? testosterone

What does testosterone do to men? Makes them look at each and every woman with a wanton desire to propagate

Therefore, all men what to have sex as much as possible with everyone. Hence, we are all dogs.

Now that doesn't mean that all men exercise their desires. Some men actually let their big heads do the thinking and are able to control themselves. Unfortunately, not all men are that way and we have lots of men that are hos (sometimes called players... the game being sex).

It's natural for men to want it, but we should all try and control ourselves. Without control, there will be much more STD's available to all (and who knows what else).

Medals of the military

I'm tired of hearing about people in the military "winning" medals. There is not one person in the military that has ever won a medal. Each and every one was "earned".

Degrading a person in the military by saying that they "won" a medal is not satisfactory. Winning is what you do when you run a race or enter a beauty pageant. When you receive a Medal of Honor, you by god earned it. When you get shot in battle and receive a Purple Heart, you by god earned it.

I believe that I will hurl if I hear another person say that someone won a medal. At the very least, they could say that they were awarded the medal. This would account for some of the automatic medals that are dispersed.

Delete the problem

To delete the problem of drugs in America there is only one solution.

Legalize all drugs.

Now listen me out before you start to tune me out. If you legalize all drugs, you take the power away from the black markets. People won't be killing each other for crack. You take the power away from the gangs.

Currently it is easier for our children to get crack than it is for them to get cigarettes. The crack dealer doesn't card, except for the color of your money. If we legalize it, we can put controls around it.

Look how illegal prostitution has stopped hooking. It hasn't and it can't. When there is a demand, there will be a market (legal or not). If you make the market legal, you will be able to control it, where it is impossible otherwise.

I'm not advocating that we all start using drugs or hookers. I'm just saying that since we can't control black markets, we should legalize them so that controls can be put in place.

As an answer to the question: What does this say to our kids?
Well, I'm not sure what you are telling your kids, but I believe this would not affect the way that I raise my daughter at all. I will be telling her the same whether vice is legal or not... it's just a higher priority if it is not.

Scare tactics of the Republicans

OK.
I'm tired of it. The terrorists are already here.

We don't need to leave Iraq for them to be here, like the Republicans are trying to scare us.

THEY ARE ALREADY HERE.

We have seen the destruction of 911. That wouldn't have happened if they weren't already here.

We've seen scare tactics in politics for years. Jesse Helms used it to be a career politico. First aimed at people of color, and when that was passe, he started hitting gay people.

When will this end?
