bibles, taxes, ignorance, oh shit!
good lord.
so...here's the deal.
i cried last night and this morning, for many a reason...
i cried for those who love eachother and will not even get a civil union, because of discrimination. i cried because my friend kyle imed me this morning and said "that's it. i will never be considered a citizen and that isn't right".
i cried for women; specifically jane roe, who brought us a right which could be revoked in the next 4 years, this alone could cause thousands upon thousands of women to die.
i cried for christopher reeve, let him rest in peace; also the other MILLIONS of people who could benefit from stemcell research.
i cried for a man i consider my brother, who is in iraq and could die for reasons we STILL don't have evidence for. in death would be leaving a wife and a 5 month old son; not to mention 3 younger brothers who consider him a hero.
i cried for colin powell, our glimmer of hope, who will not be joining us in the next term; who was the ONLY person from this administration to OPENLY admit that this war was declared under false pretenses, that we should NOT be there. i cried because this administration ruined his career; it ruined his chance of ever becoming our president. we've lost someone who could do amazing things for this country.
i cried for the naivete of this country and for our ignorance that gets broadcasted to every OTHER country in this world, that right now, well, they think we're morons; that's something i won't deny.
i cried for the united states. because it looks as though we're gonna be ruled by a bible; a book. a book that was written hundreds upon thousands of years ago. a book that so many believe in and believe they may judge others by. i hope you're not there when i die. i hope GOD is. because He is the only person i will EVER let judge me.
but mainly, i cried for the republicans. for those who blindly follow without questioning. if in the 1700's, the majority thought in the way they do now, we would've never fought the british. we would've never become a country. i cried because it's all on the republicans now...they have to prove this to us, that they deserve to be there...
united we stand and divided we fall.
we've fallen, can we get up?
