The best speech of my lifetime. Period. or A late night rant about morons.

Tonight I saw my generations Kennedy and King speeches rolled into one amazing, and inspiring act. It was amazing. I can't see how anyone could watch that speech and not want to vote for him. For the first time in my life I truly felt moved by a politician that actually has a chance of winning (sorry Kucinich).

Tonight Barack Obama said some amazing things. Sure, there were a couple of things which I do not see eye to eye with him on. Such as the whole religion thing and the South Ossetia discussion. I truly believe that if McCain wins we will truly be screwed. He is a war hungry, ignorant, narrow minded man. I just don't see how this can go any other way. Obama just has to win.

Of course there are still the right wing lunatic christians out there who can and will vote for McCain because they feel the only two things that are important in this world are gays and abortions. This next part is for those of you who find yourselves wrapped up in the blindness that is Religion.

The homosexual thing is just plain hate. It's just ignorant, self important, self righteous, nonsense from a book written thousands of years ago. A book which is tearing our world apart through the help of the worlds three major religions. Why should two people not be allowed to be together? So what if you think it is against God's will. Let them live in sin. Why do you care so much? Why do you insist that everyone live your limited lives? Why do you insist that everyone have your limited understanding of God? Why do you insist that everyone believe in your limited scope of love?

As for abortions, listen: I understand that you feel it is the taking of a life. The fact is that I agree with you. I could never ask a women to get one and if one that I did know got one I would be more sad than you can imagine. Here is the fact though that you refuse to admit and adhere to: no matter what you do, that baby is still inside of another human being. So in the end, it is her decision. End of story. You can NOT regulate what is going on inside of a woman. I'm sorry but that is just the way it is. This is not the middle ages. No matter how much you may want this to not be the story, it is.

While I'm thinking about it. Prayer should not be in publicly funded schools. "Under God" should be taken out of the pledge of allegiance. Creation should not be taught in publicly funded schools. Why? Because we are not the Taliban. This is not Saudi Arabia or Iran. When you give credence to religion and let it take over, you reap what you sow. We have seen for millennia what happens when the men of religion have control of the wheel. It never ends well.

Please, if you find yourself to be one of those who actually buys into these fairy tales, handed down to us by men who had no interest in woman being equals or people in general being free, then for the love of God, stay home on November 4th.

That's right. LOVE of God. Not hate or fear of God. I believe in a limitless God. Not a limited one.

LeRoi Moore 1961-2008

I am more sad than I have been in recent memory. LeRoi Moore, the sax player in Dave Matthews Band died last night. I was sitting watching Good Morning America while waiting for my first run and they just announced it like it was really no big deal. I assure you, it was a big deal to me.

RIP LeRoi. You were greatly loved by many and you will be greatly missed by all.

I knew it!

Julia Child was a spy. I sooooo effing knew that. You could just tell. You know, from the way she made Coq au vin.

In other news: I started a new job this week. I'm a courier. It's very easy. It reminds me of hot hot Texas can be in August. They say we may get an early fall. If we don't. Shit!

In other news: Russia is not going to back down. That makes me sad. We may end up fighting them. Which would basically suck. Basically. Like there isn't enough war already. Also, Russia is kinda in the right on this one, crazy as it may seem. Don't think so? Read up on it. Or maybe not. Who really knows these days. Damn lies.


That is all. Peace.
