How Gay Marriage Killed the Dinosaurs...
Top ten reasons to make gay marriage illegal

01) Being gay is not natural. Real Americans always reject unnatural things like eyeglasses, polyester, and air conditioning.

02) Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that hanging around tall people will make you tall.

03) Legalizing gay marriage will open the door to all kinds of crazy behavior. People may even wish to marry their pets because a dog has legal standing and can sign a marriage contract.

04) Straight marriage has been around a long time and hasn't changed at all; women are still property, blacks still can't marry whites, and divorce is still illegal.

05) Straight marriage will be less meaningful if gay marriage were allowed; the sanctity of Britney Spears' 55-hour just-for-fun marriage would be destroyed.

06) Straight marriages are valid because they produce children. Gay couples, infertile couples, and old people shouldn't be allowed to marry because our orphanages aren't full yet, and the world needs more children.

07) Obviously gay parents will raise gay children, since straight parents only raise straight children.

08) Gay marriage is not supported by religion. In a theocracy like ours, the values of one religion are imposed on the entire country. That's why we have only one religion in America.

09) Children can never succeed without a male and a female role model at home. That's why we as a society expressly forbid single parents to raise children.

10) Gay marriage will change the foundation of society; we could never adapt to new social norms. Just like we haven't adapted to cars, the service-sector economy, or longer life spans.

Using the word 'anorexic' without a second thought when describing someone skinny just makes you look incompetent.

Well, it's pretty obvious how much I love Keira Knightley. And all over the internet all I really see is people bashing her for being anorexic, or being hideous, or having no acting talent. Okay, if you don't find her attractive, she's not your cup of tea, fine. Okay, you don't like her acting or movies, (even though she's been nominated for dozens of high end acting awards..) that's fine too. But when people jump to call her anorexic just because she's bony and shows it off in pictures...no. That upsets me.
Does any of you even KNOW what anorexia IS?

Keira at one of her premeires:




Yes. Bony, skinny, too thin, no chest. I'm pretty positive she REALIZES THAT when she looks in the mirror. But wait. Don't just assume she starves herself to look like that, it's really not fair. Take it from someone who eats an unhealthy amount of junk food and drinks an insane amount of soda daily- and can't show for it. Some people are just naturally thin.
Not to mention, when someone is anorexic, they should have skin kind of sagging, most notably on their shoulders. Keira does not have that. She actually has a six pack on her stomach, and anyone who knows the first thing about weight gain and loss is that if you're starving yourself, the first place your body eats away at (after the fat, of course) is the muscle, which means anorexics have virtually NO muscle on their entire bodies. Her hair and skin tone are normal, which rules out an eating disorder.
Look:


See? Okay. I rest my case.



I do NOT understand how anyone can really deny her being beautiful. To me, she is the definition of the word. She's got a face to die for.

America..following in the footsteps of the Roman Empire? Or maybe just another case against Hillary..

"…words do inspire, words do help people get involved, words do help members of Congress get into power so that they can be part of a coalition to deliver health-care reform, to deliver a bold energy policy.

...Don't discount that power." Senator Barack Obama, 1/5/08

Remember 1980? ...Well I sort of wasn't there, but I'm pretty positive that's the last time we had a President who inspired the American people. That was when Ronald Reagan changed the political agenda. Changed the way people really thought about politics. Before that it was JFK in the sixties. But the greatest example to date of that kind of power was manifested by FDR. Remember that famous line?
"The only thing we have to fear is fear itself."

Bill Clinton might have been able to use the power of words, but he never did, he did not change the conversation, the political agenda; he left the way right conservative "consensus" (the one established by Reagan) exactly the way it was, and didn't really attempt to change it. That might have been one of his failures, although there weren't many to even mention.

The argument on Saturday, January 5th, between Obama and Edwards on one side and Hillary on the other was really about the moral power and the values that a President can wield. It might be true that Hillary knows a little more about the particulars of "getting things done," but her approach and her arguments bring us back to the days of the Clinton administration, which actually in a way failed because it did not change the agenda, although there were obviously great things done...the minds of the American people were mostly made up, and there wasn't much being done to change that. Technical knowledge of the legislative process will not change minds. Hopefully.

If the US is ever going to emerge from the downward spiral Reagan set in motion, maybe such as..oh i don't know, the fall of the Roman Empire? it is not going to be with incremental improvements on a bad situation. The US needs a moral leader, one who can exhort, with a calm, reasonable voice, and who can bring people together. A uniter. Not a polarizing figure.

Those are the qualities Obama displayed during the January 5th debate and in his victory speech after winning Iowa. I honestly don't believe his whole mantra is just a blanket statement, or just..empty promises.

Barack Obama in 2008.
