Due Process

As in, the substantive due process rights granted within the 14th amendment of the United States Constitution. So, if this amendment exists, and it has been used before to guarantee rights of marriage, how in hell did prop 8 not get repealed? Instead, the California State Court has upheld its initial decision in disallowing same-sex marriages. Last time i checked, homosexuals are people, citizens to be exact. You see the existence of the letters "homo-" indicate the genus of HUMAN. In fact, it is the latin term for human. So, if these homosexuals are human, why do they not get the same rights as heterosexuals? injustice, indeed...

Of course, the other side of the argument would be that if same-sex marriages were allowed, it will take away certain rights of the church. Oh, and then there's the argument that if such marriage were allowed, soon enough, we would evolve to accept polygamy.. and who knows what else? Let's not get carried away. We're still talking about single partner here; therefore, there's no reason why we need to drag in the multiple partner argument. 

Living in typically liberal California, i wonder why prop 8 was passed. :/

All right, now onto a more casual topic. 

I think i am screwed for finals... haha. God, help me out here.

I'm not sure if you guys know what I'm talking about, but have you ever felt when you're so antsy, that there seem to be jumping beans perpetually splattering around in your stomach, liver, and spleen, waiting to move at the pace your body is supposed to, and yet, your body is forced to stay in one chair for an hour? I've been having that the whole day today. The end of high school is so close, and yet so far. I guess what i've been feeling is what one would feel when they are captured by peers, by parental force, and they are waiting for that one moment of release, where they become individuals...

Reading Brave New World, has me thinking some interesting things.

What if you were stuck in a world where everybody was programmed to be like robots, and you were the only one with individualistic thought. Would you speak up to say something, or would you eventually succumb to the pressure given by society? Seems scary, doesn't it? Being the only one with a different point of view in a world where everybody dressed the same, spoke the same, thought the same... LIVED the same. Of course, died the same. And you, you're the only one that does not want that plastic cookie cutter mold of a life. You want divine right. You want humanism. You want personality and unique characteristics. What can you do? If you rebel, those "robots" who are supposedly humans will destroy you. If you don't speak up, you will feel like being eaten from the inside out, because you will not feel like a human. You'd be a man-made piece of plastic with synthetic skin and a force-educated mind.. Speaking up. what courage.

okay.

now for this portion, i may get a little personal

so, cut me some slack, i'm pretty bothered about some things.

I am really bothered by the skill of "assumption". Not to be hypocritical, because i do it too. But, this... so called skill.. is cumbersome, and it adds just so much more negativity or misunderstanding to any situation... Sometimes, assuming turns out to be deductive reasoning. Sometimes, it's way off, and turns ugly. Why do we all assume... is it because we'd rather assume the worst, so whatever turns out to be the result is illuminated in positivity? Maybe. Twisted, but.. very idealistic. How about we just live life as it is.. by fact. and only by fact. Sure, our lives may be a little boring, but.. let's just try it for a week. Well, at least i'll try it.

haha
