    imagine all the people, living life in peace...

    i was greeted with a long line of people holding signs on the side of the road on my final stretch home. what where these signs about...proposition 8, more importantly to vote yes. yes, to take away the right for same sex marriages in the state of california.
    for me personally, i believe in the equal rights for everyone. seeing these people with their signs made me sad to think there are still many closed minded people in the world. what i also thought was really sad was that they had their children, not just teens but elementary age and younger, next to them holding these signs. in a way it's teaching their kid to discriminate against people who are different. omg, i remember living across the hall from someone who was so closed minded and not only that but his way of thinking was so messed up it was almost painful to talk to him about stuff. you could tell his way of thinking was what he grew up around. and i don't even want to think about how he will raise his future children.
    anyway, if i remember correctly there was a time when women couldn't vote, but now not only did we almost have a woman president but our next v.p. could be a women. and of course, remember how black people were brought to america as slaves and then for generations they had to live in a world of racial segregation. but look how far we have come now with obama being the first african american presidential nominee for a major party. imagmine if these rights had been taken away. where would we all be right now?
    i don't know. it just seems like a huge step backwards. i don't mean to go off about this subject. i just feel like everyone should be able to love the person they love. and if they want to get married, who am i to stop them.
    eveyone's has their own opinions. this is just mines.
    anyway, i was just on circa survive's myspace and they had a blog on prop 8. it's crazy just reading some of the comments people have left. and then there's all the tv commericals about it. i guess we shall just wait to see the outcome.

    oh, one thing that made me smile on the drive passed all the signs...a couple holding hands as they walked passed all the sign wavers. and yes, they were two men.

    till later.
