Sometimes I Want To Vomit

Okay, so I know it is likely not to pass, but I feel that it should be mentioned that our country is a pathetic place filled with ignorant people governed by a collection of corrupt, equally ignorant, body.
This refers to the potential constitutional amendment that will be voted on this coming Tuesday, that would ban gay marriage. So here's the deal. Who gives a shit. I don't understand why so many people are so frightened by the concept of two men or two women getting married. It's ridiculous. Our president says that it is to maintain the sanctity of marriage. Well, um, how about the number of people in the country, some of them within this aforementioned governing body, who partake in what might be called Extra-marital relationships. Do we not think that that has a greater impact on the sanctity of marriage. what about the divorce rate. I know that people like to say it's 50%, but i think it's closer to like 43%. Either way, with more than a third and nearly half of all marriages between and man and a woman ending in divorce. What value does marriage have in today's modern society? If we are going to ban gay marriage, then should we not ban extramarital relationships. make it punishable by law? or if someone does have an affair, then that marriage is no longer recognized, and all future marriages of the cheating partner should not be recognized as well. Does that make sense? No, of course not. People should be allowed to govern their own behavior. I don't understand why the government currently feels it so necessary to parent and control everyone. You can do this, you can't do that...we will listen to your calls, we will track your call logs, we will send you to war, we will tell you what is important and what is not.
We have a citizenship that seems inclined to openly and blindly accept a vast majority of the information that is handed to them. Now granted, I may lean more toward the conspiracy theory side of many things, and perhaps to a fault, but to sit back and accept everything at face value seems like an act of idiocy.
at this year's UGA graduation ceremony the editor of Time magazine spoke and i feel like everyone in the entire country should have squeezed into Sanford stadium to listen to part of his message. He said, essentially, that it is our job to question everything. To read and view, and take in information and edit it all to create a reality of our own. Don't just read the left wing propaganda, or even the liberal newspapers, read both the conservative and liberal side of all stories. Only then when all information is acquired and processed, can one even attempt to start to understand what is going on. And even then, do we really know the truth? Let's put it this way. Who killed JFK?
