A Rant

No one thinks more highly than I do of our country and patriotism. Different people often see the same subject in different lights; and, therefore, I hope it will not be thought disrespectful to people if, entertaining as I do opinions of a character very opposite to theirs, I shall speak my sentiments freely and without reserve. The question before us is one of awful proportions to this country, and her people. For my own part, I consider it nothing less than a question of freedom or slavery; and in proportion to the magnitude of the subject should be the freedom of all human beings to do with their life as they see fit. It is only in this way that we can hope to arrive at truth, and fulfill the great responsibility which we hold to our country...freedom, and the ability to make choices. Should I keep back my opinions, through fear of offending someone? I should consider myself as guilty of treason, and disloyalty towards my country, and human kind if I say nothing.

Is it unnatural for all involved to indulge in the hope of prosperity, and happiness? Are we supposed to shut our eyes against a truth, and listen to the uncaring tyrant until he transforms us into immoral hate mongers? Is this the part of a wise man, engaged in a great and arduous struggle for liberty and freedom to all? Are we suppose to be followers of one who, having eyes, does not see, and Having ears, does not hear, the things which so nearly concern all involved? For my part, whatever backlash of body or of spirit it may cost, I am willing to extend my hand for the whole truth; to know the worst, and to prepare for it, if the so called leader should restrict a simple right to marry whom ever one chooses, and to support those who believe in happiness.

I know of no way of judging the future but by the past. Ask yourself how this leader of our country can be warlike against his fellow human beings? Is George W. Bush's purpose to force us to submission? After all things are said and done, may we indulge in the desire of peace and happiness for all involved? There is no longer any room for intolerance. If we wish to be free...if we mean to preserve privileges and rights for everyone for which we have been so long restricted... Those who believe will not abandon the struggle in which we have been so long engaged, and which we have pledged ourselves never to abandon until the object of our contest shall finally be obtained.

They tell us, that we are weak; unable to cope with so formidable an adversary, called conformity, But when shall we be stronger? Will it be the next week, or the next year? Will it be when we are totally disarmed, and unprepared for the final decision? shall we be bound by hand and foot so that we may not fight for what we believe in? We are not weak if we make a proper use of the way we live our lives. I shall not let my family of human beings fight this battle alone. The battle, is not for the strong alone; it is for the vigilant, the active, and the brave. The chains that bind us are to be broken! I support same sex marriage, and wish that certain people would wake up, and realize that the world does not revolve around only them!
