I talked to my grandma the other night and we had a great conversation on just about everything. It was great to just talk to her and hear her point of view.... since the election was the other day we talked about that and of course we voted for Bush, but they (my grandparents) voted for Gephardt. They knew that they threw their vote away but they could not help but back the person that they have backed for the longest time. Congrats to them for sticking with what they believe in. Of course she is always amazed by the fact that I back Bush. But she pretty much lets me be when it comes to what I want and believe. We also talked about some of the presidents wives and how great some of them were (excluding Hillary Clinton)
I heard about the MA thing on allowing same sex marriages... and I have to say that I do not agree with it. I think that it is not what marriage is about. What they are doing is wrong to begin with and to allow them to marry says that it is ok with what they are doing. For the most part I believe that marriage is a religious thing and the fact that they are gay is in no way religious. I do not have problems with gays, as i have stated several times. I can understand both sides, I just disagree with it.
Yesterday I had an interesting experience with a person that lives in Europe. I was playing canasata with a few ppl that are from the US and then there was this person from Europe... he was saying that he would love to come to the US but not as long as that man was in charge... so I inquired as to who he was talking about and of course he was talking about Bush... I asked him what problem he had with Bush and he said that he did not understand why we backed a president that LIED to us and to the whole world... So I inquired about that too... what lies?? He said about Iraq, that we should not have gone in there and done what we did, that Bush lied to us... I said as far as I see it, what Bush did was a great service not only to Iraq but to all the world and heard no lies about what he said he was going to do. Then he got pissy about the fact that since some countries are not backing the war they were not allowed to bid in the rebuilding of the Iraq.. I said why should they be?? So all the other countries of the world can continue to MOOCH off our country and not do anything in return??? Why should they be allowed to help?? The other countries were against the war so why should they even WANT to be helping with the rebuild... because it is all about the almighty $$$$... thats it... He did not like my response and said so I guess you back Tony Blair too... I said YEP. He is a good man with his heart in the right place. At that the guy left in the middle of our game... I know politics should not be in conversation.. but when someone else brings it up, how could I resist???? Oh well.. another person that hates the US... what else is new??
