It's ridiculous. I get so worked up about all this, too. I can't believe we've come to the point in our society where we aspire to be "Joe Six-Packs". Where intellectualism is looked down on as being elitist. I can't believe we're not reaching for greatness and instead feeling complacent with being average or even below-average.

I can't believe a party that wants to get back to the "good ol' days" is even trying to use the idea of change as part of their platform.

This makes more angry than anything else though:

Fuck "preserving the sanctity of marriage." What does that even mean? It's the most bullshit phrase I've ever heard. The only thing I can see that meaning is the Christian definition, and if that's what we're going by, what happened to separation of church and state? Civil unions? Haven't we already gone through this separate but equal thing? How in the world can you justify the belief that who we love determines whether or not we get equal rights?

We've got nearly half a country aligning themselves with a party of fear and hate.

It's really upsetting. Obama and Biden still think marriage = man/woman, but that's miles better than just denying equal rights like McCain wants to do. I'm voting for them but it's still so frustrating to me. I wish we could just grow up.

Well don't we all wish that America could just grow up? Stop talking about this "Puritan nation" and start living with the First Amendment.
