Warning: If you are likely to hate me for speaking about anything that you see as a "touchy topic", you might like to stop here. Or just continue, because humans are often curious and are likely to step out into traffic and learn that it's not safe.

I've gotten into one of those "Wow, is this really America? Land of the free? Home of the brave?" mindsets. But it's all good! I like it when I actually start to seriously think about something.
So, let's see what the topics are today, shall we?
Case #1: Equal Marriage Rights vs. You Are Now Pronounced Man And Wife. "Marriage is a unity between one man and one woman as husband and wife," is what the government likes to say. I'm perfectly happy that you believe that. Or that you don't. I personally stand on the side of love, and say I don't believe that.
I believe that all couples should have the right to be recognized as married by the government, and if they should so choose, the deity/ies of their choice. Whether they are a man and a woman, or a man and a man, or a woman and a woman. "Love is patient and is kind; love doesn't envy. Love doesn't brag, is not proud." Love is what love is, and nothing will change that.
Some of the people way up high push it off of themselves with, "It's not a federal decision, it's a state decision." Hm... I think it's more of a humanitarian decision. Does the government stop you from loving who you want to love? Does the majority vote stop you loving who you want to love? Does it stop you from loving your mom or dad? Your brother? Your sister? Your son? Your daughter? Your cousin? Your best friend since 2nd grade? Your boyfriend or girlfriend? I hope not. <3
Would you vote for state equal marriage rights? Federal equal marriage rights? Or if you can't vote on anything more than "What should we have for dinner tonight?" like me, what would you vote, and why?
I'd vote yes. Because marriage is a decision that should be given to all humans that love each other as partners.
I'm thinking that I'll do this: National Marriage Boycott - We won't - until we all can. And even if I can't get the money, then I'll still always support it. : )
Case #2: Pro-Life vs. Pro-Choice. I just want to lay it down here already, since I know that a certain 8th grade teacher *ahem* *cough cough* history *cough* has already ruined the minds of all of my classmates, besides myself (unless going crazy because of hearing misinformation counts), that there is no such group as a "pro-abortion" group. I have never met a single person who really thinks that no one should have kids, that they should all get pregnant and have an abortion. I hope I never do meet someone like that, either. So, short definitions, for those confused:
Pro-choice: those who have the belief that it is a woman's choice whether or not they themselves should have an abortion.
Pro-life: those who have the belief that abortions should be outlawed, and no one should have an abortion (except in some extreme circumstances, I believe -correct me if I'm wrong- such as rape)
Pro-abortion: those who have the belief that everyone should have abortions. And also, that the tooth fairy does exist- it's who your parents sell your teeth to on the sparkle market (fairy gone bad)- and they use those teeth to grind together pages of Dr. Seuss books to make the ink for ballpoint pens. And that Charlie the Unicorn can hear you whenever you yell off a bridge or building at least 2 stories tall, unless you're in Minnesota, then only the bananas can hear you.
So there you are. And here I am! (Hiiiii!!) I'm pro-choice. I think that everyone should be allowed to make an educated decision by themselves, and with anyone whom they so choose. I promise you that it wouldn't be easy for anyone to give up a baby, but they have to trust that it's the best decision. (I personally would say it's a last resort; there's always adoption, but sometimes it's not the choice.) Here's an article that I found written by someone who performs abortions, and it makes a lot of sense to me. They point out a lot of facts that a lot of people don't understand, and I think that it's worth reading.
Case #3: Kittens Are Kuter vs. Puppies Got Power. Brothers and sisters, come together! The puppies are cute and the kittens got power, and we can all live in one house, in peace! Yea or nay? Yea! Yea!
(No, really, I completely forgot what I was or was not going to say next.)
So my final words? Think logically. I think the easiest way to find peace in any situation is to try to put yourself in someone else's shoes, maybe sometimes literally, but not always. ; ) --Besides, when those puppies and kittens switched paws for a second, they realized that those kitties really were cute, and the puppies really were powerful... over their emotions. :' )
In other news, my Gods of Mount Olympus essay is completed and edited! Yea!! Now just another half of that darned book and study guide, and that 4 page essay and a little studying Europe the day before the test, and I'm good. You can do this, Rachel! Yes. I know I can. : )
With love and peace, may we all find something that makes us happy! <3
P.S. Sorry if something doesn't make sense... ha ha I sometimes get carried away on a spontaneous burst of wind and don't think once about looking down.
