why i'll never be political

now, to start off, i will always be opinionated. i generally am able to form my own opinion about something within 10 minutes of being introduced to it. if i don't form an opinion, maybe it didn't strike me as important.

but take gun control. i believe guns should be controlled: registered, waited for, not given to people with bad histories or mental disorders, potentially not allowed within certain overcrowded cities, such as my own. (i couldn't give a shit about places with low population density.) but, people on the other side? i am afraid of them. no gun control? why? what do you want to do with your guns that you aren't willing to register them? do you really believe that everyone has the right to bear arms? seriously, everyone?

peta, too. yes, i'm liberal, but i don't believe animals have any more rights than unborn babies. and that's the end of that. anyone that argues that animals have the right to life is just as frightening to me as someone that pickets an abortion clinic. i'm not anti-meat, i just feel that the meat generally consumed is horrible for you. cows aren't cornivores. plus, shit, all those hormones...if most cows are hormonally imbalanced, why are we so surprised that zoloft makes record sales every year? or that girls are maturing before they hit double digits? the animals that are probably best for us are the ones that we deem too cute to eat: deer, rabbits, all the wild game that has lived full life and eaten food based on its pre-programmed diet. of course, that's not commercially sound, we'd wipe them out to fill our safeways, and how dare i suggest that bunnies could be food?

stupid politics.
