Kind of taken out of context, post I made in the "Just listen to yourselves..." thread. I thought about it and I think it would be beneficial for all of you to read, and maybe we can start talk of how can can remedy some of the problems we have now.

Why do ideals like "Life, Liberty, and the persuit of Happiness" have to be in a document like the constitution for them to ring true for some people? They shouldn't even have to be written down. These are things that EVERY person in this country should hold true. And regardless of them being "law" or not, this country was founded on these Ideals. These ideals are what make this such a great place to live.

Some of the opinions i've seen in this thread give me a feeling of deep sadness and loss of hope for our future. We are never going to go anywhere if shit like this is even an issue. In the whole scope of things, what does it matter if two people of the same sex get married or not? The Bible may disagree with same sex relationships, but guess what, a lot of people dont follow the Bible and you have NO RIGHT to force your religious views onto someone else.

And I hope people realize this post is not about same sex marriages.

Screw Presidents, Screw Government (meaning they should be irrelivant on these points, not that we shouldn't have them), this is OUR country. We are fucking it up and have no one to blame but ourselves. Its because of our division and lack of respect for eachother AND other countries that shit like 9/11 can happen.

We as a people are so arrogant and full of ourselves that we completely forget there is an entire universe out there, and we are a speck of dust that means nothing. All we can do is sit back and enjoy the small amount of time we have here. People think about trivial issues way too much and I really hope we can all get past them at some point, or there is no hope for us.

I hope you will reflect on life after reading this and REALLY think about whats important.

I hope my point came through ok, thats all that matterd in this post.

Oh, and the quote in my sig fits nicely with this post.
