Proposition Hate

Proposition 8.
A proposition to preserve traditional marriages; and to outlaw same-sex marriage.
What the hell?

Plain and simple.
NO ONE has the right to regulate or oppress another humans individual freedoms.
A marriage consists of two humans, not two humans with the support of the population of California.
I hate the fact that individual citizens feel that they have an obligation to defend "traditional marriages."
What are you defending? And for whom?
It is not going to oppress your right to get married. It is only granting a larger population to share the idea behind marriage, Love.
Stop believing that you have some part in denying another humans right.
Because you absolutely don't.
I advocate that we all vote NO on proposition 8.

All the world's a stage, And we the people merely players

There is a disconnect between public opinion and American policy.
Public opinion is useless and weightless.
Actions and words are of equal unimportance.
Demonstrations have given the average citizen the ability to participate with a single honk from the car,
Protests are immediately contained with tear-gas, rubber bullets, and batons,
And both are heavily criticized by the immobile population, who sit watching hand selected stories from the news.
That population too, is useless and weightless.

American policy serves a higher purpose than the people.
It is fueled not by the people, but of the greenbacks.
I believe everyone is aware of this.
There is a "separation" between Church and State, but a marriage between Corporation and State.
A Godfather relationship where favors are exchanged in forms of lobbyist-composed bills and campaign contributions,
And where the average American taxpayer is responsible for a failing economy and Country.

But who said everything is so negative?
Americans live in one of the greatest Democracies in the world.
We are given the option to vote for either a Republican or Democrat.
We are allowed to petition and question our government.
And we have a free-market system.
But should I go further?
Probably not.
Because all of these options have obviously left us nowhere.

If you've ever played any of "The Sims" games, you'll know how I feel when I say that I don't feel free anymore.
I feel that our "democratic-republic" leaves us with no option but to shut up and choose between black and white (and to stick with either even if we are in disagreement).
That Lady Liberty has no ear nor eye to the American, but an ignorant view in the interest of the privileged.
And that we are left responsible for problems and programs we never advocated for.

Whether change comes in reform or revolution, or maybe even a political messiah shined from the democratic-republic of outer-space.
I encourage it.
