Morals

I wonder if there is anyone with exact same morals as me? I wonder if when we get down to the particular and situations that are very exact we would agree in all the exact same way. Since we all have different morals and points of view it makes it hard to for people to agree. I think that in America where judges interpet the law, it helps so that they can apply the law to different situations.

election

I get chills watching Obama's acceptance speech. This is such a historical moment for American and although I did not vote for him, I am so proud of what this means. I know that millions of children will be affected by these events and I hope that they pursue their dreams and know that no matter your backround you can achieve your dreams.
I do have to say that I am dissappointed in many states that passed gay marriage bans. I cannot stress how this shatters my heart. I know that their are many young Americans that are already oppressed and are fearful of coming out. Now they cannot be themselves and their futures seem bleak. Marriage is being with who you love, whats so hard about that?

Although we are talking about freedom we should look at the degree to which we are free here is the United States. I am sure most would not argue that we are a great country that experiences alot more freedom than other countries. I mean alot of our money goes the government, but how much money does the average person see in comparison to how much they put in. I just worry that more and more of my money will be taken and I will not see that money. I know I personally benefit from governement funds but is it nessecary to take more of my money??
