Issues in the Country

Negative energy is all around us, stupid racist individuals are all around us, scared men and women are all around us so one must ask why

With all the political talk going on everywhere and by mostly everyone, it's humorous to hear so many individuals down this or that.

My favorite is the negative bigoted energy some of these narrow-minded individuals put out into the universe each day. To hear some of these people down another for being of a different color, different religion and of different sexual preference, makes me realize why this country is in such a mess.

First, religion does not belong in the government. Being a "free" country, we should have the freedom to practice whatever we want. Then, of course, there is the hooha on gay people and gay marriages. Oh please, are these people who are so against this that scared? Do they harbor some kind of inner, underlying tendencies that they fear will come out just because a person of the same sex wants to be with another! And OMG, what if a person of color wants to be with a specific individual who is not only the same sex but a different color they are, is the world going to end?

With all the abuse and exploitation of children by people in power (priests, school officials, um should I go on?) why would one want to waste time banning something that is not harming anyone! How often do we hear of a gay person abusing a child? Not too often, I tell you.

So, instead of wasting time, energy, taxpayers' dollars on stupid unimportant issues such as who can marry who, take the time to dive into the real issues of the world. Keep religion out of the government, let the members of the government keep their private life private. I say if it does not effect their job performance then let it go.

Crap has been going on since the beginning of time, gays have been around since the beginning of time, women have had power (more a long long long time ago) then people want to give them now. Get over the small petty bullcrap and deal with the real corrupt issues that are facing people these days...
