One entry about the election and I promise I'll shut up.
I'm a healer at heart. A very anti-social, very bad at it, healer. I could write volumes about the way healing magic in D'lur works, but thats not the point.
The point is, I generally, honest to God, like people, even when their assholes. I try my best not to piss people off, and when I do, or I feel as though I did, I get off balanced and depressed. I don't like hurting people, and I don't like seeing other people get hurt. I guess this makes me libral.
I want people who have nowhere to go to have a house to go home to. I want the great Mother to be treated with respect and not just the usual sludge we humans have been dumping on Her. I want any two consenting adult humans to be able to marry, without any problems or objections. I want a consenting female to be able to terminate an unwanted pregnency if she feels the need and understands the consequences. I want people to feel safe in their own homes, and I want people to be proud of this country.
None of which I've seen a lot of lately or predict seeing much more of in the future. Especially not the last one.
America is a damm fine country. You can talk to me until you're blue in the face about how those crazy conservitives/librals are ruining everything but I doubt there is an argument in the world that can change my mind about that fact. From what I know of the world outside my own, which granted, isn't a lot, we are one of the few countries in the world where education is provided to many many children at a low cost to their families. We are a country where women are not penalized for wanting to be astronauts or firefighters or plumbers, they just have to work towards it like any man. We try to stamp out discrimination- go to any public school in the country, especially in the guidence office, and you will almost undobtably find some sort of notice proclaiming the fact that there is to be no harrasment or intolerance of any kind, for any reason.
America is an amazing place. Which everyone else in the entire world hates. Why? Because we're snotty, pretentious and violent. We do not set a good example like mature people are supposed to do, we go to war without officially declaring it, we regularly pillage our Mother, taking whatever we desire from her and giving her nothing in return, we do not look the UN for advice when it comes to important affairs, and we have alienated the rest of the world.
4 years from now. 4 fucking years, and I will be able to vote. So will every other child my age across the country-children who, judging by what I've seen, are becoming Healers in their own right, actually doing things to help the enviroment, actually taking time out of their lives to help other people, actually caring.
4 years Bush. 4 more years of your shit and we're taking back our country. Our forefathers based America on freedom, well guess what.
We want to be free. And so does She. And so does She.

Yea I don't really enjoy many of the views by republicans in the first place but Bush just makes me gringe against them more. The major view i am against for Democrats is abortion...i'm more against irresponsible teenagers having sex and getting an abortion but I like women's freedoms.

You know how a person on a diet isn't forbidden from buying fattening foods? The only thing stopping them from doing it is their willpower. They don't need a LAW saying "no fattening food will be sold to anyone on a diet".
I think the strength of people's moral character should be enough to prevent them from having an abortion if they don't want one.

that was paraphrased, but should apply nonetheless. if you want someone to change something, make sure you don't do it first, and then convince them using reason. do not force your beliefs on any other person. this life philosophy has held me for quite a while.
it simplifies down to: you can believe what you want and i'll respect that, just respect my beliefs.
