Dont Ask, Dont Care..... and the News!

Well, "Dont Ask, Dont Tell" was repealed, Yay? Boo? Snore?.... yeah, thats pretty much the broad stream of emotions. I am in the camp of not caring, so this particular topic may be short, or I may start to rant, or drift off, or something. Really im just doing this post to get something out there cause I havent had anything go out in a while that wasnt World of Warcraft related. Yeah, sad I know. But, here we go.

For those of you who dont know, "Dont Ask, Dont Tell" was Bill Clintons way of half-assing a solution to a growing problem. It still forbid homosexuals from being in the Armed forces, but it prevented the Government from asking sexual orientation, and encouraged service members to keep quiet about their orientation. And the Lame Duck congress just repealed the act. Some people feel very passionately about the issue, Friends and Foes alike who will probably try and draw me to their side (seriously, who wouldnt want my brilliant mind with them), so ill simply throw out my views on Same Sex Marriage right now. Marriage is and institution of religion, and Government simply recognizes the Union(for the sake of simplicity we will ignore civil marriages). Now there are religions out there that will marry a same sex couple, including some Christian sects which are primarily based out of San Francisco. Now the Government in recognizing one Religious Marital union over another would be in violation of the First Amendment. No, not freedom of speech. The First Amendment in its entirety reads, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or of the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances." The bolded part is important for the purposes of this discussion. Giving recognition to one union and refusing another is a blatant violation of that clause (in my opinion). Now this may be a bit murky since its 3:30am, but its stronger than the argument "love is love" or some of the other ones out there.

Im seriously considering piling up a ton of crap to write about my current employer should things go very far south and I want to burn them... but who knows, maybe its just me being slightly annoyed.

So I've got my internship for this spring, with state Senator Harvey who tends to most of Parker and northern Douglas County, so im looking forward to that, still wondering what specifics ill do about that with my blog.

Im also considering the Warrior Dash Event, and I need to start training for it. Make it a test of my perseverence. Here is some info here www.warriordash.com
