Rant.

    Okay I'm just going to vent. I got into a very insightful conversation with a good friend of mine last night, and this is what we came up with.

    We constantly live in fear of one another. Its the trickle down effect from the government. Society learns from those that precede them. The public goes through life blindly believing that the vote they cast actually counted.

    The biggest thing I've learned is that in my lifetime, I will never see politics run in black and white. Its always been a grey area, and thats not going to change.

    Stereotypes are exaggerated examples of the worst offenders of the stereotype given.. Not just the average individual who may carry a trait or two of it. It takes the worst of everything and creates a "stereotype" like a file in a computer filled with all of the worst examples for society to use to satirically persecute an entire demographic of people, whether the entire demographic actually acts that way or not.

    Why does anyone have the right to make decisions over anyone elses head? Especially when that decision could change that persons life? Why is the president allowed to make nation wide decisions? Who can prove that he is any smarter then I am, and why is his decision allowed to affect my life? I should be the only one allowed to affect my life. I am the ruler of my domain. Besides, I don't trust any of these politicians any farther then I could throw them anymore.
