I love and hate all people. There is no longer a racial component to our interactions, only a cultural one. If you are under thirty years old in the United States, the only excuse for saying something you shouldn’t say is prideful ignorance. I can think of nothing more disgusting than taking pride in the stupidity of your thoughts.

If you choose to believe what is not actually so, you rob yourself of the life experience you are missing. People forget that whatever you say, you are responsible for, hiding behind an internet username does not absolve you from your absurdities. If you start a thought from a point of ignorance, no amount of polishing will fix the problem.

Let me take two steps down from my organic soap-box. I was raised Catholic, meaning universal, or in American terms, it means nothing other than having a gained sense of respect for humanity. The value of community is immeasurable, and someone raised with Catholic guilt would understand with perfect clarity what it means to be a supporter of the Cleveland Browns. 

But seriously, tell me, if you can, what is it that anyone could like about Mr. Romney? I am old enough to remember how uninteresting John Kerry was, but as a veteran who wanted to reign in the empire, he was pretty attractive in black and white print. He could have saved a lot of lives: I’m looking at you Ohio voters in unpopulated areas.

I will proceed with my argument for Obama’s re-election the same way Mr. Kerry was presented to the public: he’s not perfect, but look at the alternative, and try to keep a stable stomach. Obama ran an emotional campaign to get elected, and electrified the nation in a way few leaders ever have, but the legacy he will leave is what he does with the next four years. 

There are a lot of kids with art degrees that still cant find right from left and need a job, but that isn’t the president’s fault. The exploitive lending practices of banks concerning student loans and the inflated price of higher education in this country are something that is in his power to fix.
