I fucking hate America
I woke up today and realized that this country is completely shit. First of all, Amendment 1 was passed here in Georgia. Amendment 1 basically bans gay marriage or civil unions in the oh so progressive state of Georgia. I am not shocked that the rednecks that live here would vote this way on a gay issue, but I am very upset that our state legislature put it on the ballot. Hasn't the government traditionally protected the rights of minorities? Why would they ever put the rights of minorities into the hands of the majority? It blows my mind. Why are people so threatened by the idea of a gay couple? There is so much hate and violence that goes on in the world, so why would anyone have a problem with the idea of two people finding love even if those two people happen to be of the same sex. Secondly, I have to live through another four years of that jackass in office. I wonder, how many people will he kill this term? Do another 20,000 people have to die in Iraq because the American people are idiots? How many more children will lose their lives, limbs, or parents in Dubya's campaign on the war against terror. I wonder what a child in Iraq, who has lost a leg because a bomb went off in his neighborhood, would say about the war on terrorism. Yep, this country is definitely complete shit. Maybe it is time to move to Canada.
