What's Changed?

Now that the Republicans have more control than they had before what will change?

Nothing will change.

The same questions "plaguing" our society are the same ones that were doing so decades ago. The only real difference between then and now is that we've created new ones to help break the monotony.

Many debates you'll see thrown around tend to be debates that can only and should only be solved via a citizens morality, not the government's. These are used, however, to smokescreen and polarize.

Abortion, anyone?

This is not an issue the government will "fix" nor "solve" yet it is always brought out when votes are most needed.

With Democrats in control we've had the same problems. With Republicans in office we've had the same problems. And yet the nation is retardedly and expectantly sitting up and proclaiming, "Change is a-comin'!".

Nothing will change.

Not so long ago people were up in arms over Republicans and their chosen leader, good ol' Dubbya. The vitriol thrown about was the catch-phrase of the day.

And now that Republicans are making another showing those very same people from before are excited as pigs in, well, whatever it is those same people use for brains.

It was two years ago! TWO! Yet "Change is a-comin'!".

Nothing will change.

Not until we do.

The Myths of Faith and Reason

Last night and on to early in the morning I was pondering whether I was agnostic or atheist, all the while fervently praying for sleep to any deity that would listen.

So forgive me if my ramblings seem more tired than usual.

Many people tend to lump agnostics and atheists together. That is a misrepresentation of both. Atheism is the position that there are no gods and such. Agosticism is, well, it's all over the place. There are religious agnostics, atheist agnostics and all sorts in between. I guess the best way to describe agnosticism would be that it allows room for doubt.

Atheism has actually become a larger and more concentrated movement throughout the world. Most notably in the United States and around Europe. American Atheists is a good example of an atheistic movement.

Of course, where would Atheism be without religion? I won't go much into the particulars but I'll stick with some generalities that most should know. Others can pipe up if they like.

God(s), whichever you prefer (I'm partial to Papa Smurf), created man. Women tended to be created later, often as punishment for some infraction. I'm not kidding. So, women, let this be a lesson: beware the legacy your constant nagging imparts!

Rally To Restore Sanity

I had watched it at home, where I can eat cheetos in my underwear where it's safe to do so. In private. And I found myself being disappointed in it. I actually became annoyed at the 2 1/2 hours of entertainment. I wanted more preachiness.

I wanted confirmation.

I wasn't alone in that. Those I've spoken to that were more of a political bent, or simply concerned with our society, voiced the same sort of concerns. Others thought it was fine, either liked it or didn't for varying reasons. Some even considered it another Woodstock of sorts.

I got to thinking (it happens now and then) about which viewpoint, if any, would be more correct. Then I thought even further. What should we have expected? Did we even have any right to expect anything?

I'll leave with this for now. Comments?
