Yeah, well society can bite my ass!
This quiz that I gacked from ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
themorningstarr fits in so well with the topic of today's rant against socitey. Yes it does.
Where do you fall on the liberal - conservative political spectrum? (United States)

Ok so I have to put some sort of warning about what is under the cut. If you like America and are intolerant and unable to accept other people's views, I would suggest NOT clicking on this.
My roommate was watching the news this morning and I got much more than I bargained for. I will now proceed to rant.
First, Bush was in England today and there were protests on the streets. I can't stand Bush. Not one bit. So much of what he says just goes against my own basic beliefs. So I am damn proud of those protesters and am disappointed that the people wouldn't let them near him. Society sucks and I should probably get over it, but many of the sentiments of the general population make me want to smash my head on the wall. Take the issue of Anti-American people and the american's reaction to that. People complain because so many countries are anti-american but then do nothing to change that sentiment. It's a cocky attitiude that will only lead to further troubles like 9-11 (RIP all who were there). I mean, even now people are being killed across the ocean because the US just couldn't get over itself. I hate it. People just refuse to see it even when it should be so blatantly obvious. I don't know anymore.
Second, the issue of gay marriage in Mass. I personally would love to see it happen. It would be such a step in the right direction for society. But as I watched the news, I'm beginning to see how hard that will be based on reactions. They read this letter from a lady saying that it was wrong and that they will lose a lot of tourism there because now she will never go there.(though she may have been referring to some other city). I was like, you would refuse to go somewhere just because gay marriage is legal?? The statistic is that 53% of a group of americans who were polled said that gay marriage is wrong. I don't think that's fair. Love is love no matter who the 2 people are. Gender can't change that. It just baffles me how people can't accept that.
Ok I need to stop before I get upset and stop making sense. I think I'm going to go read some slash now.
On another note, I caved in and got a paid account. (need to send them the $ tho and I have no envelopes or stamps) So since no one PMed me an addy for the x-mas card thing... *glares* That'll be up later.

2)I find it amusing that they thought Bush in enough danger from the protesters that they made him wear a bulletproof vest during outdoor activities. How smart are these security people? Who would try to shoot him in the chest when they've got that lovely inflated (completely unprotected) head to aim at?
3) I agree. I never understood why some people seek to restrict the rights of others. It makes no sense- if you don't like it, don't do it! That's all! It's none of anyone's damned business how people want to live their lives... You don't see gay people parading around to abolish heterosexual marriages, do you? Meh.
4)It's your journal. Go off on whatever you want. I think it's a good thing for people to pay attention to what's going on in the world. We're the ones who will be in control one day- it's just as well that we take an interest in it so we can hopefully correct (and not repeat) the mistakes of the ones who came before.
