Computer Geek / Network & Systems Administrator. I have been in computers my whole life and have dabbled in different programs and some web design. I like movies, music, dinners, cooking, hanging with friends, although I am more of a homebody. I like to debate my views with other people in politics, religion, equality, health care reform, and several other topics. I believe in equality for all, and not just some. We have the freedom of religion and the freedom from religion. No religion should dictate our laws, nor should we ever write any discrimination into the constitution. I also believe that just because the majority voted for something, doesn't mean it is the best thing for this country. Americans need to quit selling out their fellow man and demand that NAFTA be fixed now, or just needs to go away, period. America needs to take care of itself before its to late. We need health care reform now. We should never leave health & human services in the hands of the free market. We should never allow anyone to profit off the suffering of others.
Whether it be for or against gay marriage, hate crime protection, or religious freedom, one major thing most Americans don’t think about are the future consequences of denying one minority or group the same basic rights.
We have come along way protecting people from atrocities like eugenics and religious persecution, but, if we amend the constitution to deny one group the same rights the majority of Americans enjoy, are we not opening the door later to allow another majority to take away any other civil liberty written in the constitution, or are we protecting our future freedoms?
