Hmm.

Lately, I've been doing a lot of soul searching, and have been taking note of various peoples opinions on social issues, how they feel about their country, and things that relate to it.

One thing that we all know, this is a diverse country, with people living different lifestyles.

But here is where we just start to scratch the surface.

The US -- is it really the land of the free, or even quite honestly -- the mindset most "Americans" truly have?

I'm talking to you, Mr. American flag waver.

Before I go on, this is not a "dis" to this wonderful country we live in. I respect the President (I even voted for him), the society we live in, and most people in general.

Let's start with something many people can relate their own problems with -- the Police.

Why is it most of us blindly trust the Police before ever having a shady run on with the Police? You know what I'm talking about. I'm talking to you, the guy who respects and trusts the police, but blindly scoffs at the horror stories many people have told about some occurences that have went down with the police.

Why is it, they have so much power -- yet it doesn't take much education to pursue a job in the police force. Another thing I've noticed, the people who lack real experience in life, who've been sheltered -- there more then likely support the cops in most cases. Now, why is that?

Next, let's take a look at the social concept of interracial marriage. It seems as if the people who are most willing to pain themselves with that red white and blue, are the first to object to a white man marrying a black woman, or vice versa? Why would that ever even be an issue, in the land of the free that so many have died for?

We can go on with Gay Marriage. Why is it the same who bathe themselves in the red white and blue, are also quick to laugh at the prospect of two men wanting to wed? Why is that? Since when was it the American way to neglect love -- the very thing that drives most people to live their own lives in pursue of that happiness.

I can go on, like those who are ignorant yet vocal on how marijuana is such a horrible thing -- and they'll even argue that, with a beer in their own very hand...the irony in that is just laughable.

Sorry, felt like venting. I'll probably go on later..
