So I have commited what is probably the worst of all social sins in the workplace :-) Yup I brought up politics with a co-worker, well actually I believe she did, but I will take the blame for continuing the arguement. I have always wwondered why the 'moral majority' follow their leaders blind like little sheep. Hell even sheep will think twice before following someone to certain doom, alright so here on its follow their leaders like lemmings. So I was talking to this woman whom I have vast amounts of respect for just because generally she is a really sweet person and never talks bad about anyone in the shop. She was talking about the whole 'faith based initiative' that the moron I mean president is trying to shove down our throats. I told her simply that well this is completely ludicris and I don't want someones so called faith shoved down my throat. Not only that I don't want facts obscured by some stupid idea of what morality is. So yeah she brought up the whole "Well this country was founded on god." My ears purked up like a poodle that just saw its owner walk into a wall. I said excuse me. She replied "Yeah I can show you in the constitution this country was based on god." Laughing to myself on the inside I replied "You can?" Since I am pretty damned positive unless Bush has reworded the constitution it has no mention of the word god. "Yeah I will look it up and prove it to you." "Okay."
Well I came home and looked it up, no mention of god anywhere that I could find, just a bunch of boring ass legal talk that has a big effect on all of us. I really hope she looks this up for her own knowledge because then maybe she will start questioning other things people just randomly tell her. Granted my father raised me to question everyone and everything. I am sure this is probably a big root to my major problem with authority. But yeah how can people believe what so many people tell you is the truth without questioning it? How can people get so aggitated when someone elses view are different from theirs? These are fundamental things that I have never been able to understand and I feel like I am missing out on a big part of what makes people tick not knowing the answers to these questions.
Im rambling time to go do something.
