There seems to be a lot of blogs on the political climate of the U.S, lately. I love it, people seem to be concerned about the direction this country is heading when it comes to our leaders on the world stage. However, few seem to be worried about the polotics of there local communities. By this I mean our own homes. I was raised in a VERY conservitive atmosphere, I'm from eastern Kentucky, and am an Army brat, but that didn't mold my way of thinking, influenced yes, but set it, no way.
I became a drug addict, and now fuly understand the need for broad drug reform, the laws and rehabilitation programs that exist are not effective. I have experimented with homosexuality, and know first hand that "love" cant be defind by a particular mandate.
I learned that what I feel is right, others my look at in disgust. I cant tell a man what he should or shouldn't beleive, and I cant censore him to my way of thinking. Too many people want things there way, and that doesn't work for all man kind. We are a country politicaly based on the freedom of self expression, and self government, yet alot of folks want to tell you who you can love, what you can do, how to worship... this isn't freedom. Do I have an answer? Well...No. But I do know that without open discussion, in a peacful setting then we'll, as a people, never come to an agreement on how this country showed move on.
I think that if we teach our children to be tolerant of others, no matter there veiws, then we could start building. At the same time I dont think tollerance means that we let peoplr do what they want, and treat us like doormats. No. We stand firm on the ideas that built this country, this people, and we get control of our homes and through that, this nation.
I'm all about an open discussion, so if you want to, hit me up
