Obama comes off to me like some kind of socialist pretender puppeted around by forces greater than he. That hope poster was modeled after Che Guevara, the good he did to Cuba. Sure healthcare and education is alright but what about press freedom, political expression, and the such. The Left is as dangerous as the Right when it comes to free speech. They would like to silence any dissent from the Right and any alternative political positions. They talk as if being anti-tax is anti-gov't, or that being anti-gov't is really a bad thing. The gov't is what does the most terrible things, not the people.
Socialism and Fascism are just two sides of the same coin.
I thought it was rather good too. It's the last hand-drawn Disney movie to be made, I hear. Mikhaela and Abram thoroughly enjoyed it as well. It's good for kids to be exposed to some diversity when they are young, because it seems to me children are the most racist group of people today. Which makes since, because racism is as natural as anything, and has a biological component. It needs to be stamped out at that innocent stage if the adult psuedo-rational racism kind is ever to be allevied. I don't think a feminist could complain either. She was obviously more mature than her prince, and little girls like to dream about marriage and love, at a basic level.
That is the problem with the underclass in America today. They can't afford basic necessities. In some countries you can live fat off just a few thousand dollars a year. In America, you can have a hard time getting the necessities with 15,000 dollars a year.
I have to agree on every point you made about repealing DADT. I don't understand LGBT groups that spent so much capital on the issue. Typically, these groups are to the left, so why should they want to fight in the oil wars? I guess it is due to the bi-partisan acceptance of the "Support the Troops" charade.
In regards to the Tea Party, they are full of shit. All they are a bunch of old racist, neo-conservative, liars. They don't care that their taxes are too high, they care that Blacks and Latinos are recieving social benefits. Nevermind that the defense budget is 20% of the national budget, that most of welfare goes to people like them, through tax credits, medicare, and social security. They don't realize that it isn't the underclass ruining the country, it's the burgeoning group of medicare recipients as the country gets older, demographically.
On prostitution, in certain couties of Nevada regulated brothels are legal, and it seems to be safe, productive, and the girls are paid very well. Anti-prostitution legislation is hypocritical. Biologically women provide sex to men for support. Does it matter, that a man buys a woman dinners, gifts, and takes care of her children to obtain sex, or if he simply gives her cash. Both serve the same function.
I'd have to agree with your thoughts on the Royal Wedding. It was the most ridiculous media spectacle I've seen in some time. By what right is this man a prince? I looked at his family tree and out of the thousands of people that can claim direct descendecy from the Patriarch King (I forget his name), this man is only a prince due the arbitrary system of the first son suceeding to the throne. There is no merit involved. The guy looks like an idiot, too.
Also what's the point to learning Esperanto. It will never develop into a world language, as I'm sure English will eventually. So you're already a step ahead of half the world.
