amazed, and thankful!!

Many thanks to those who are actually reading my posts and showing support. and here i was thinking i was completely alone.
today, i am feeling very despondent, especially after watching cnn for a while, they're reporting on obama/mcsame. it seems people are seeming to lean more towards mcsame. WE CANNOT LET THIS HAPPEN!! I think 4 more years of the same policy, and even worse [regarding women's possible loss of right to choose,especially in the case of rape/incest] would be a real leap backwards for women. What about teaching young teens and preteens the importance of using condoms; not only to protect against pregnancy but actual life threatening diseases? sure, teach abstinence as well. but where there are hormones running wild between young nubile teens, there will be sex!!! to pretend it does not or will not happen is worse than being naive, it's being in DENIAL!! case in point, our one and only, republican vice presidential candidate, sarah palin, aka, ted nugent in a skirt. if she had taught her daughter about sex education, she wouldn't be in the situation she's in and would not have been forced to marry her boyfriend who clearly states on his myspace page: "i just want to f*** as many girls as possible" and "i don't want kids". wow, it's so irresponsible to me to not educate them. and to want to teach creationism in school? what happened to separation of church and state? also, what if you are not "christian"???? i don't want anyone's religion shoved down my throat. i know i said this before, but now I'm getting really angry. Our forefather's came here to escape religious persecution. I now feel like I am being forced to listen to someone else's claims about their God, and it, to me, is a form of persecution and force.
I do hope that we as Americans will not be so misinformed and ignorant yet again, as to elect the same kind of administration we've been dealing with for the last 8 years. I'm so ashamed also of some of my countrymen who have said they will note vote for a good man, an intelligent man, a man of honor and dignity, eloquence and knowledge, simply because of the color of his skin.

I pray everyone will realize the error of their ways......

racism

wow, had an interesting chat today with a sweet guy named alex dixon. alex is the grandson of the incredibly prolific blues man willie dixon. we starting talking politics [which can be a dangerous thing, depending on who you're talking to!], but he brought it up!! lucky for both of us, we're both Obama supporters. He was telling me that he's helping the Obama campaign by volunteering to enlist new potential voters. On more than a few occasions he's had people, point blank, say to him that they won't be voting for obama because he's black! phewwwwwwwwwwww....i could not believe my ears. now i feel like i'm tearing up, you know the kind of tearing that almost burns your eyes. i think it's so sad that people are still thinking this way. no matter what obama does he can't really win, in a sense. he's been criticized for being too smart and a bit uppity. then, if he were uneducated, he would be condemned for that. meanwhile, it's ok for sarah palin to have a 17 year old daughter who is unmarried and pregnant but if would have been obama's daughter, consider what the repercussions might have been. sure, it's best to leave personal issues out of this election; my firm and sad belief is that racism is still alive and well in our culture today even though bill o'reilly et all were so terribly shocked about reverend wright's comments. c'mon, are you really going to pretend racism does not exist in any camp??? that's very naive. i personally don't condone it; but there are many others who are using it as an excuse to continue to hate... that's my story. and i'm stickin' to it.....

love, love, peace and love..

OPR-Other People's Religions

Okay, I am getting very, very annoyed with the Republican nominee for Vice President, Sarah Palin. I've seen this same clip from youtube, several times, where she says, "the iraq war is from God, it's his plan..." excuse me, but HOW DOES SHE KNOW THAT??? Has she personally heard from God himself? Did he come down to her or G.W. and say, "now listen, I want you to go over to Iraq and get them evil doers!"?? If so, can they prove this???? Hah, I bet they cannot. I find it extremely ARROGANT that she even says the Iraq war is "God's Plan". Wow, very, very arrogant. It is/was MAN'S Plan, and a bad one at that. I do not want her or anyone else's religion shoved down my throat, it has no business in politics. Also her stance on teaching "creationism" in schools is just insane!! Sarah, keep your religion to yourself, in your own home, or in your church, or with your family and friends but leave me and everyone else out of it!! I find it extremely offensive and I want no part of it.
