I never win anything!

Do you have any idea how exciting it is when it's your first time voting and your candidate wins?! The only thing i feel bad about is that Alaska still had two hours left when Obama reached 270. I hope they had their tv's off and went out and voted anyways. Every voice should be heard. Democrat, republican, Independent, and everything else should get their say.
HOLY CRANBERRY JUICE! OBAMA HAS OVER 300 ELECTORAL VOTES! HE HAS THE POPULAR VOTE TO!
AMERICA HAS SPOKEN!!!!

Leave My Bumperstickers Alone

So someone in a furry of rage tore my Obama bumper sticker off my car. All that remains is a little blue shred that is stuck. They seemed to have tried to take off my evolution sticker off as well but only managed to get a little ribbon like piece off the top. How petty. Even if they believe I don't deserve the right of free speech I do have that right and no angry bigot is going to stop me from expressing my right. Here is some of my expression of freedom of speech.
No matter how angry an opinion makes you feel like it or not they have every right to say that. So don't go around ripping off bumper stickers, breaking windows, tearing signs to show your against what ever they believe in. Instead use an equal act of freedom of speech. You don't need to make confrontation. No one is forcing you change your beliefs. You can choose not to listen.

In other news: Happy Election Day.
It is possibly too late for me to sway any undecided voters but here's my idea of what people should be aware of when going to vote.

1. Taxes are not bad. It is a fact that taxes pay for Roads, Schools, Hospitals, Feeding Soldiers, and government jobs. Also keep in mind that their are more government jobs then just the politicians. My mom has a government job working in the sex offender registry of my state. Their are also police officers, firefighters, and some scientists who rely on a tax paid salary. It is my opinion that every one should pay proportional taxes. If you make more you pay more, if you make less you pay less. To me that is fair. If you still hate taxes then I would encourage an opinion of "it's the necessary evil"
   
2. It is a Fact that their has been a rise of Gun Violence in schools in these past years. It is my opinion that someone doesn't need to own a machine gun, grenades, or other combat weapons to protect their homes. It is also my opinion that it is alright to have a riffle if you are a hunter and have a hunting license or go to the shooting range. It is also my opinion that if you are a gun collector, it shouldn't be allowed to buy bullets for combat weapons.
   
3. It is a Fact that if you support a hospital with any taxes, the hospital is going to use that to help people. Hospitals tend to not turn people away if they are dying. if someone is going to die they are going to take care of them. It is my opinion that just because a doctor saves a life of an illegal immigrant does not count as giving an illegal health insurance.
   
4. It is a fact that their is a large populated gay community in our country. It is my Opinion that the law should not be decided by a church decision. Separation of Church and State. I believe that a marriage is something defined by an individual church, and that individual church should decide if a marriage should only be between a man and a women, not the country or states decision. When you force a religious decision on a country than your forcing every one to abide by a rule for that religion despite their own beliefs. It is also my opinion that what two agreeing people decide to do with each other has no effect on the outside world and shouldn't even be a matter of debate.
5. Women are equal to men. Not better, or inferior. It is ridiculous that their still isn't an equal pay system by now in this day and age.
   

If you have not already GO VOTE!

Sin Log #8

Last night, I went with my friends to see Bill Maher's Documentary, religulous. I thought it made some very good points. I Highly recommend going to see it if your not offended when someone questions faith. I hope those that go see it keep a very open mind to it and listen to the points instead of instantly shutting down. Why do people see God as so forgiving and yet claim he is Wrathful, jealous, and hateful of people for who they are?

Pride: I got to see Obama today at the State University. He was very impressive. Of course he talked about the things that have been on every body's mind. He told us details that if you were paying attention, were things he was saying a while now. He went into his plan. There was so much positive energy flowing around that crowed I couldn't help but feel good about the future.

Gluttony: Today was good. I hung out with my friend Lani today. We went to a Sushi Bar. (note I'm a Pesco vegitarian. I still eat fish.) It was really good except I started shaking from the spicy ness and the seaweed got wrapped around my braces. That part wasn't as awesome.

I want lower taxes. I don't care what it costs.

I want lower taxes because I don't like them. I don't like paying for roads, schools, hospitals, the troops I clam to support and another institutions that benefit my community. I don't want to share my hard earned money that spoil my opinions of the so called "hard" working middle and struggling lower class. I only want to benefit myself and forget about the little person. I want Big tax breaks for my large company so that I can get richer and richer and not give my employees the raises they need. I don't want any of my money to go to taxes that pay for welfare because no one in those welfare lines are decent hard working people. Even if they were their problems aren't mine.

Okay, you caught me. I was being sarcastic. Perhaps I was a little harsh even. I however don't believe this conservative idea that constantly says taxes a bad liberal thing. However it is our current conservative taxing method that is getting us into trouble. You may of heard Senator Obama calls it as the "trickle down method." That's true. My term for it is the Prince John Method and Obama is our Robin Hood.

Prince John giving high taxes to the poor. the wealth stays among the wealthy. Robin Hood is made to look like the bad guy outlaw by the beneficial rich. Accusations of being buddy's with bandits, kinda similar to accusations of being buddy's with terrorists. Prince John tried to bring the public opinions down with town crier's or negative ads if you will. Prince John doesn't even understand that his own approval rating is down.

Aside from my silly analogy, I do think the distribution of taxes needs to be considered carefully. It should be proportional. the less you make obviously you can't afford as much so you pay less. the more you make the more you pay because you can afford to. I don't know how any one can see that as unfair.

A lot of people have this Me first attitude. I thought we were supposed to help others? A lot of books, children story's, television and movies kinda hint at that don't cha think? Why is it always about taking care of yourself and stepping over the person below you because it's profitable? Don't we learn moral lessons like "money isn't everything" or "you can't buy happiness"?

Also isn't helping others more profitable in the long run then helping yourself?

Others do well. Others become your customers. You do well? The Economy does well? Doesn't that work?

I'm not afraid to say it. I'm a socialist. I think the government needs to regulate things because obviously people don't do what they should on their own. Take Wall Street for example. Though McCain denies that the bail out is a form of socialism, it is what it is. Government taking charge of an economic problem is a form of socialism. We keep claiming that our government is a Capitalist economy but that's a big fat lie. Without government regulations on business their would be all sort of corrupt nature. No minimum wage. No benefits. Even honest companies would be forced to compete. I'm not saying that we should switch to Communism because I believe in some independence.

Well I'm drifting from point to point so ill summarize. Proportional taxes=fair and boost economy. Even though Socialism shouldn't be referred to as a swear word because it can be a good thing. Yay for random tax tangents! It may not all be connected in a nice neat form but at I think my point is attainable. If this was a paper for class I would take the tame to orginize it and such but this is not for a class and I'm feeling lazy.
