GOP CANDIDATE CHOOSES RUNNING MATE

Late last week the Presidential candidate John MCcain choose a running mate in the sitting Governor of Alaska Sarah Palin. It is speculated that Senator MCcain chose her specifically for her pro stance of drilling offshore on Alaska to reduce The United States of Americas dependency of foreign oil. Governor Palin has vowed to overturn the landmark Supreme Court case legalizing abortions Roe v Wade. Governor Palin has been lauded by secularists and non-secularists alike for her pro-life stance though it is  considerably harmed and muddied by her support of the war in Iraq. By denouncing abortion she voices her belief in the sanctity of life but in the same breath supports the war in Iraq which has claimed an estimated amount of hundred-thousand US Military personnel since the beginning of the conflict in 2003. Speaking objectively both institutions-war and abortion end life, some may argue that those military personnel know and accept the risks involved with going to war and that the unborn child does not know and therefore cannot accept the end result of abortion making it (abortion) morally wrong and war morally acceptable. Speaking subjectively I and many other Americans see abortion as the lesser of two evils because abortion only effects the mother who chose to abort the fetus whereas war’s effect is much more widespread. Do we as 21st century Americans who some of us fought for woman’s rights  want the first woman to hold executive power in the nation’s history to be an ardent anti-feminism?—Come November please ask yourself the same.

Can't stop here..it's bat country(1960's)

The following quote is from HST’s masterpiece “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas”-it is in reference to the nineteen sixty’s counterculture movement, it was written in the early seventies while the failed revolution was still fresh in the mind of the masses; back when the book was first published the reaction would be much more poignant, but for those who were alive during or cared to research it afterwards the poignancy is still as potent. ”So now, less than five years later, you can go up on a steep hill in Las Vegas and look west. And with the right kind of eyes, you can almost see the high water mark, that place where the wave finally broke…and rolled back.” 

TWENTY-NINE

Grandmother got lost for hours and I called the cops. Waited at her house with cigarettes and fast food.She came home and was shopping at the mall.  Curb-side break down of sorts and now I’ve got grass stains on my knees—will wash later.— Stood outside waiting for the cab for over two hours, it never came called them 3 to 4 times. Kristen and I fight over my cowardice and I cry—Curb-side breakdown. Raised my voice to the volume of thunder and harangued her about responsibility and work ethics evolved with love.—Who am I to tell her about love? just a poor bastard having a curb-side break down with thoughts of past loneliness. Noah picked Kristen and I up then dropped us of at the diner. We ate and walked home—uphill battle. Here I am. GOODNIGHT.
