Equality!

So this election has had many many firsts and many chances to show the world that we are a nation of equality and suppportive of all our citizens...First we had a the chance to nominate the first woman president with Hilary Clinton, even though i'm somewhat still disappointed in the fact that she did not recieve the nomination i'm happy with our other first in Barrack Obama, the first black president. Some other "issues" that could have showed our equality in this election was the proposition 8 in California. This is a very sensitive issue so those who read this blog understand that i'm not trying to change anyones views or opinions i'm simply just stating mine. I belive that everyone in this country has a right to love and to marry whomever they like. It comes back to the rights that we are promised The right to happyness and the right to practice our religon or beliefs freely, so many people who are against Same-sex marriage and who are protesting against it say they are using a freedom that is given to them to state their point and i beileve that they are given that right but the only issue i have with the whole sitiuation that they are exercising their right in order to take away anothers right. Many people oppose the idea of allowing same-sex marriage to be allowed and have the same equal rights as “regular” marriage, many of these oppositions root from religious beliefs. These groups claim that chaning the definition of marriage to include same sex would be against gods will, that it is unnatural and promotes unhealthy behavior. The Roman Catholic Church opposes recognition of same-sex unions, arguing that acts of sexual intimacy are only proper between a man and a woman, and that the proper setting for those acts is only within marriage. Other oppositions are the arugurs of family and that child should be raised by both a mother and a father. Those they arguments are their right to have i highly disagree with them. What happened to god loving all of his children, and the whole family aspects divorce rates are at sky rocketing rates right now and same-sex marriage potential divorce rates are very low, and i beilive firmly that same-sex couples who adopt children are some of the best parents that i have ever seen. They truly love and appreciate that child with all their hearts. Plain and simple point is that We are a nation of equality and many in the past few days are saying look how far we have come with the election of Barrack Obama, but i say great now we have a very long way to go to call ourselves a nation of equality......Maybe my views are tainted because i have some friends in the Gay community and they are some of the most loving and caring friends that i have and i just dont see how constiutionaly we can remove rights that should be theirs but then i am reminded that the constitution is nothing more than what the courts say it is. One thing i am extremely grateful for is that McCain lost so that Rowe V Wade will stand and not be overturned.

Thoughts watching CNN And FOOTBALLLL

So I love politics and am very intrested in this years presidential race, I have thought since the begining that it would be a runaway victory for the Democrats with a canidate like Barrack Obama, then when Obama picked Joe Biden to be his Vice-Presidential canidate or co-president in the words of my father i thought there was no doubt that it was going to be a democrat in the oval office this November seeing how Biden feels all of the weaknesses that Obama has such as international policy and experience. But then today i was watching CNN up at the union between my classes and the annoucment came out that McCain would be selecting The female alaskan senator(who i had no idea who she was and still don't seeing how i cant remember her name) the election has just gotten a whole lot more of a race. The number one reason is that she is female and pro-life which could have the ability to swing a lot of Hilary supporters who don't feel completely comfortable with backing Obama over to the Republican side. Cause right now 92% of Republicans are voting for McCain to the 79% of Democrats that are voting for obama........Thanks for reading something most of you probably have no interest in ha ha this is going to be an interesting November oh and 1 day away from when Michigan goes down to Utah.



So looking at the Mt. West Conference i keep thinking to myself that the race really is for third place cause both Byu and Utah are leaps and bounds ahead of everyone else in the conference. BYU has a fantastic offense and Utah's two back set with Mack Asita and Brian Johnson leading the offense will have defenses not only trembling but running behind each watching them in the end zone. So if Utah can beat Michigan and Oregon state and BYU can beat UCLA then entering the always exciting football holy war both teams will be undefeated and the winner of the game will dare i say it bust the BCS!!!!!
