Time is dithering into the abyss, silly season is drawing to a close. Right on track with the death of this most wonderful quad-annual event, both Candidates have eschewed what really matters in an effort to smear their opponent. One ignores the issues and attacks, the other ignores the issues and counter attacks.
The sad irony is that they promised us change, they promised us reform, but at the end of the day its business as usual on the road to Washington.
America is still willing to put some perceived religious belief above human life. They are even willing to ratify an amendment that goes against the core concepts on which this country was founded. The scariest thing about this is they actually believe they are in the right. They believe that some divine power sees fit to deny a fellow human being a basic right.
Should this right be horded by one group and not the other? Is there only so much of this right to go around? Preposterous questions, both of them. This right isn't tangible, as Americans we say "you aren't allowed this right. We say this to our brothers, to our sisters. We say it to our athletes, to our celebrities. We say it to our police officer, to our fire-fighter. We say it to the man with our flag on his shoulder. We ask him to go and protect the freedoms we cherish; in fact we cherish them so much we chose to exclude him from their full grace.
It begs the question, How do Americans look at themselves in the mirror? Do they notice the hypocrisies in their smile? Do they not realize these things as they praise marriage, as they thank their wonderful wife?
As always, humanity is posed with too many questions, and not nearly enough answers.
