Sometimes... I'll see something that just drives me crazy. Normally it comes from FAR FAR FAR FAR SO VERY FAR "Right-Winged" people. But... I just want to put this down quick. Maybe my ideals are a bit... ideological, can't really work in real life, but this is how I see things:
There should never, ever be a law that takes away viable options from people. What's available to one group is available to the whole group. I see is as the "Golden Rule" do onto others as you'd have on yourself.
Basically... if a gay couple wants to get married they should be able to because a heterosexual couple would NEVER want that right taken away from them.
Abortion (with the same restrictions it has today, possibly even larger/smaller one (I'm not a legislator)) should be legal because there are such HORRIBLE circumstances surrounding pregnancy that it should be an option if it needs to be.
I love the USA, I really do. Sometimes though I'm ashamed of us, because we're so diverse that we have a hard time seeing eye to eye. I don't understand the people who quote the bible and say this and that is wrong. I'm sure they don't understand my philosophy either. In my head though... the bible, religion, should never ever factor into your political decisions. That's morals. Maybe you're morals are rooted in religion, but they shouldn't be rooted in a big fat book of archaic text. (We don't stone adulterers anymore, now do we?)
AUGH! Did that make any sense? Basically... I don't like double standards, and I like options. I only choose two 'hot topic' subjects but I could probably expand if I felt like it (which I don't).
SORRY FOR TAKING UP SPACE/WASTING TIME BUT I WANTED TO GET THAT OFF MY CHEST!
