motion sickness in a still world

Today we had a field trip to the state Capitol to go to a historical Lewis and Clark movie and to visit the California Museum of History, Women, and the Arts. Well, the movie was nice, the museum was tedious, and lunch was quite delicious (caesar salad, blackberry italian soda, and a lemon bar, if you must know). When we came back to the bus area,

XD Zach SHOULD have kissed Brandon. I think Brandon would pass out. He doesn't even let ME kiss him. ;_;

You know, I debated gay marriage in government a little while back with your friend Amy. As I read, to outlaw gay marriage would be intruding on the 14th amendment (equal protection under the law).

Of course, it's all a matter of interpretation, but it would seem that if they passed an amendment banning gay marriage, the constitution would contradict itself.

Oui, je sais! She told me. She likes ranting about how stupid people can be in that class. (Actually, her rants about stupid people usually just include the teacher, Carla, and Jordan. She likes everyone else.)

People can be utterly retarded. I hate that the only thing I can ever do, though, is ask: WHY? what's WRONG? Don't you understand EMOTION, you stupid PEOPLE?!

I once had someone tell me that it didn't matter anyways, since gay couples never stay together; they're not happy together. It was the most retarded argument I have ever heard.

When you think about it, what's the real objection to same sex couples? Why should they be separated anyway? Because other people are insecure or don't like the thought of gay sex?

That can go both ways, too. Even that ridiculous argument wouldn't be valid.

By keeping same sex couples apart, wouldn't that encourage them to seek others of the opposite gender? Well, no it wouldn't, but that's the aim, right? I'm not exactly clear as to how people expect a homosexual person to find happiness in a heterosexual relationship. It would be like forcing "straight" people into the opposite situation.

The whole anti-gay marriage movement is backed by seditious reasoning.

You know, the funny thing is, I was thinking about this, and then, having watched extensive amounts of Star Wars this weekend, I was thinking about incest. And I realized: it's the same thing. I mean, I don't think you can be pro-gay marriage and be anti-incest. It's all about love and respect, when it comes down to it.

When you put it that way, though, a lot more people would probably think twice about supporting it. (Or maybe I'm missing one of the points of anti-incest.)

(Though I don't, my any means, support incestuous procreation. Messing about with genes like that is dangerous.)

(I don't think that made any sense, soz. The crouton goodness is scrambling my brain.)
