   Ugh... What's this world coming to?
Well, I am thoroughly disappointed. I was reading the newspaper, and found an article stating that George Bush is working on a "Constitutional" Amendment (and I use the term 'constitutional' lightly) that would ban gay marriage. >_<

Is it just me, or is it highly hypocritical to deny a group the right to marriage simply because a few zealous Bible-beaters are going insane over the prospect of gay marriage? Bush has repeatedly stated that gay marriage would basically undermine the sanctity of marriage. What a load of crap! The very same argument was used when people were attempting to ban inter-racial marriage.

Is it just me, or isn't the President supposed to represent the will of the majority, and protect the rights of all? I know very few people who would want a ban on gay marriage, and the same seems to be said of the rest of the nation. What I find very ironic is that there has been no feedback from the people on the subject in the news. During the War on Terror's beginnings, ABC, CNN, and many other news stations ran frequent polls on the people's opinions about teh WoT. And yet, I see nothing as to the people's opinions on gay marriage...!

All in all, I find Bush's current stance on the subject, and his actions relating to it, very disconcerting. If anyone has an opinion on this, or would like a civil discussion/debate, please feel free to e-mail me.
