Welcome to my stupid raving about the planet and the crazy inhabitants of both sides. For those of you have don't get the title, sad for you.
As anyone with half a brain or more may have figured out I'm something of a liberal individual. While I'm not crazy about liberal ideals, I approach each situation with actual thoughts unlike most of humanity. What does it mean to be slightly liberal in today's society? Well that's a good question and I tend to share my thoughts in the hopes some bored person is paying attention.
I could just reference this more or less accurate article from the Chicago Tribune and say "Here is the all inclusive summary of my train of thoughts." http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/opinion/chi-0610100318oct10,0,1779585.story However that train derails several times a day so its kinda pointless. Also for those of you who hate people like me go look up the word "liberal", I promise it won't kill you. You may even learn something.
Now while some people might be stuck on the liberal thing let me explain why I'm just left of the middle and not all the way left. This is no big mystery that one extreme or the other is just down right stupid. Being that I'm not really conservative but not really liberal I put myself just left of the middle cause this is where things make most sense. After all part of being a liberal is having a open mind, so going to the far left and ignoring everyone else's ideals would just be counterproductive. As a fair warning to anyone who might read this there will be rants mostly about politics and religion along with the occasional everyday observations that irritate the hell out of me or where just good to see.
So to start off with my first rant will be about the apparently universe destroying gay marriage. Personally I don't get what the big deal is. I once asked a very conservative friend if gay marriage actually effects his life in anyway outside of his religion of choice. All he could say is no, and he is Mormon. This is a perfect example in my book of how much it would actually change society. There wouldn't be some sort of break down over night of all of civilization, it would mean just a few more people could get tax breaks and adopt childern that are in much need of good homes. Now some of you conservative pricks out there want to say "God forbids it. The bible tells us so." Back the truck up right there and learn the history you so want to preach. The bible that you believe in has been raped by the church over the centuries and the gospels have been hand picked with parts left out and others rewritten. So its easy to surmise that the message of the bible and the words from any big guy in the sky where lost to time for the most part.
Given the above thoughts could go deeper but its late and they aren't about to, we can say no one on this planet can come up with a actual way why gay marriage would change how they live their everyday sub-mediocre lives. One final note for the night, to Rush Limbaugh (not that he will ever see this). You are one of the most intolerant people on the planet and I do not now or ever wish you well in life, if there really is a hell I will see you there. If I was to ever meet you I would tell you even more. So conservative white America doesn't feel picked on because of this. I would gladly kick Jesse Jackson in the teeth.
