wrong priorities

i wish for once that our government would actually deal with issues that are important and pressing, like pulling out of iraq, the economy and energy crisis, health care, education, etc. instead, they find that amending the constitution to ban gay marriage is of upmost importance. wtf? how can we honestly say that banning rights to gays is any different than banning rights based on race? it’s all discimination, so in fact our government is being run by a bunch of hypocritical neo-conservatives who would rather run the country based on a 2000 year old book, which is losing relavence in our progressive world, than actually caring for the well-being of the people.

this article is ridiculous and utter bullshit. saying that traditional marriage is beneficial to the public welfare but homosexual marriage is “destructive” is a total absurdity. additionally, wouldn’t a child be better off raised by gay parents rather than not being raised by parents at all due to abandonment, failure of adoption, or living in a third-world country? what about divorce? if we are going to amend the constituion to ban gay marriage, shouldn’t we ban divorce as well because in reality, divorce is more devastating to our social fabric and to our children than gay marriage will EVERY be!

a country that claims to support separation of church and state and equal rights for all sure is doing a piss poor job at demonstrating it. republicans are simply more concerned with falling poll numbers and using their weapons of gay marriage and abortion to drive approval ratings back up by ‘deciding’ on ‘pressing’ issues. look all throughout human history… homosexuality is not something that has just recently happened!

maybe the ideal scenario is for a child to be raised with a mother and a father. but the point is, and this is fundamental, and has been proven in historic turnarounds in the past, that the well-being of human kind does not thrive on “optimal scenarios” based on scripts and theories alone. each and every sociologic, psychologic or philosophy scientist will acknowledge this fact. my problem is that a lot of people seem to think they have the right to dictate what can and cannot be done of those who may or may not have the same lifestyle. all this is is a distraction on behalf of the republicans to distract the public away from the real fuck-ups of this entire administration. i just hope my fellow citizens do not buy such bullshit from our ‘oh so caring’ leaders. just look to europe where gay marriages are legal… has it destroyed social fabric there? why don’t we open this issue up to an actual public vote and see how the majority of the population feels rather than allows a select biased few amending the constituion for such an absurdity.

k… i think i’m done (for now).
