The conservatives in the governments around the world are digging their own graves. Especially those in the Western World. If history tells of anything, it is that history decides those who are right. Hmm...so in my case, conservatives = gay marriage ban. Conservatives in history = interracial marriage ban. Hmm...similar arguments, similar tactics, and so far, we don't know the outcome. They may be 'successful' in the short run, but the way that conservatives (not necessarily those who suscribe to the "classic" conservative ideal) act in government at the moment they seem to be on the loosing side of history.
Sad.
Can't you see the future where things are based upon the ultimate value of every human life, and not the labels we put on ourselves or the ones society puts on us? And why can't we work to creating a society like that? Is that what 'conservativism' is today? Saying that the past was golden and the future is dark? If it is, that's not my view, even if I am a sarcastic cynic at times, ok sometimes, even all the time. I won't subscribe to a view that says the past was golden, or even that the remote past was golden. I can't see it as that, perhaps it is my naivete, or my inexperience in the world, but I refuse to see that the future cannot be better or won't be better.
I don't know why I needed to post this right now, but reading the news inspired something in me. Sigh.
Time for endorphin rush: aka exercising. I need 2 eat lunch but I don't know what i wanna eat. Hmm...I gotta make it 9 days with out buying more food. Starvation diet is not a good thing, but I need to save money somehow for the moment, until I get my first summer paycheck.
Don't call me sweetie...
