Power To Choose

"Thy frank election make;
Thou hast power to choose, and they none to forsake."

All's Well That Ends Well II.iii. 43-44

VOTE TODAY!!!!!


As I went to the polls this morning, two things made me so angry, I didn't know what to do, other than silently explode inside.

1) The mere sight of George Allen's name makes the blood boil. For those who may not know, this man is the Republican candidate for the Virginia Senate. He's the former governor of Virginia (years ago), and apparently had a noose and a Confederate flag in his office. My dad has influenced me here; we're very anti-Allen, because he's a criminal and based on his office decor, a racist. If he was the only person on the planet to vote for, I wouldn't vote for him.

2) The 'marriage' amendment question. As I left, I saw a sign that said, "Vote YES on the marriage amendment. Remember New Jersey." The amendment calls for further prejudice against the homosexual community. When I read it in the booth, I read the part about marriage being only between a man and a woman, and I knew I had to vote NO. That sign I saw as I left only confirmed that I had made the right choice. I don't support prejudice of any kind, and this backwards idea that union can only be between a man and a woman is antiquated and misguided. I've read and studied The Bible extensively, and I know what it says. I also know that The New Testament is exactly that: a NEW testament between God and mankind, whereby we follow the words of one man: Jesus Christ. He basically wiped away the old, and gave us all new options. He never commented on homosexuality and whether it's 'right' or 'wrong.' But since He created beings who have this tendency from birth, I tend to believe that He values the love they have as much as anything. And even if it were 'wrong,' it's not my place to judge. Jesus specifically told us not to do that. Specifically.

I get really riled up about this topic; forgive me. It's actually how I started writing online. I saw a movie on TV that dealt with the issue and started posting on a message board. Before I knew it, I had groups I wrote for and web pages I created and novels flying out of my head. So, thank God for the homosexuals! haha There was a great line from 'American Dad' last night: "Gays are the new blacks." It's sad and disturbing that any group is so discriminated against. Rich white men are most often the perpetrators, and they're the only ones who don't suffer. It's just a shame we women need them for Sugar Daddys. haha I am kidding. I don't need them for anything.

I'd encourage everyone to vote, even if it is for a Republican candidate, because we're all very fortunate to have this opportunity.

ROCK THE VOTE, people!

Speaking of votes...About Faith Hill on the CMAs last night...It was a joke, people. I'm sorry so few have a sense of humor in this world. Sheesh.


Have a great day.
