Who’s Who? … Equal Rights.

This almost seems like its the conversations for the day? Is there a theme of the day or something?

Personally, I have showed pictures (notably wedding pictures) where I explained who is pictured with my "clever" code names for everyone. I put clever in quotes because the names aren’t that witty. LMPisces is a Pisces I worked with at Liberty Mutual. ETaurus or EverythingTaurus is a guy who is up for pretty much anything and a Taurus. He has even agreed to try things that he later reconsidered, such as canoeing with us a few summers back. I feel and think that with the code names its okay for me to describe who is in a REAL picture because the name isn’t. You can’t Google search and find a link between my code name and that person.

Its already apparent to people I consider friends here that there is stuff for public consumption (and I assume Google retrievable) and stuff I prefer to keep private. I am here to express who I really am and I’m not interested in being noted by people or reading entries of people who are fake, lying, or bolstering their personalities artificially. There is a stigma to the internet, though mostly around dating sites that state no one on the internet is who they say they are. Like gossip, I try not to perpetuate that sort of thing.

I’ve been laboring philosophically over the North Carolina amendment. Its amusing to hear all these different opinions on that and then the President saying that he personally supports gays and lesbians getting married. The insecurities of religious people astounds me, and how they can be so judgmental. Their doctorine states that we’re all sinners at conception, so they try to live a RIGHTeous life. However, their insecurities and uncompromising beliefs seek to limit the rights of those who are born differently than what is a social norm.

Though WA has to worry about whether or not they allow the same thing (we already voted in a "anything BUT marriage") type law, but that might get repealed and a similar amendment to Amendment 1 in NC might pass. I really doubt that will happen. There’s that, then we might legalize marijuana (which from the standpoint of revenue, and potentially combating the war on drugs by taking away something consumed so widely [unfortunately], I’d approve… but I’d love to see my mom suffer and criticize people such as myself for voting it down). Boy, us in WA are condemned to hell in the afterlife aren’t we for being so progressive!
