first
If we let our guard down for even a second and the terrorist are allowed to get a planed attact in the USA that was anything like 9/11 or bigger. The last f*cking thing i going to be worried about is money, health care, jobs, ext..... get my drift!!! The only way for you to see how big of a problem terrorism, in the world, is if you get affected personally.
Second gay in the military
Dont ask dont tell works they are not discriminating agains anybody so it works laura i know where you a coming from but people are closed minded about things even more so in the military. When you are in the military with a bunch of guys the want to think everybody is the same and can do the samething. When they know you gay they think you weaker. Thats not the right way to think but it is how things are and the dont ask dont tell works.

Political Views and Why Kerry is for ME
Patriot Act-
severely wrong, infringement on Constitutional rights. If you ask me, if everyone wasn't so freaking scared of "terrorism" then they would agree with me. It's funny how u put a little orange light up on the news saying that today is a high threat of terrorism day and people are willing to give up their rights. cowards. And there's plenty more to be scared about that's actually worth worrying about.... like problems a little closer to home. Money, health, jobs, etc.
Religion in Schools-
NOT RIGHT, I am a very non religious person and even if I were, I wouldn't believe in prayer in public schools. send your damn kids to a private school if you want them to do that. Exception- if you want to pray in your own group at school, as long as u are not alienating anyone around u or taking school time to do so, then u r ok
Gay Rights-
NO GAYS IN BOY SCOUTS?- according to Bush. how exactly is that ethical? AND- u can be gay in the military as long as you don't tell anyone? why is it hurting anyone if you're gay? they let women in the military who are attracted to men, why not let men who are attracted to men?.
AND what is this "hate crime rules don't apply to gays" ..... unethical, and sickening, damn sickening. a hate crime is a hate crime, sexual preference and race dont matter
IF I wanna burn a flag, I CAN, it's my right, and John Kerry says so. freedom of expression baby
Read the news? Saddam destroyed all his WMDs in '91 and '92. Put that in your pipe and smoke it... then worry about Al Quaeda if you're that concerned about terrorism
I'm also reading here that Bush planned the war on Iraq BEFORE 9/11 even happened!
now why would he do that? U let me know y Bush would want to attack a nation who never posed any threat to us and had no WMDs and then blamed the whole thing on 9/11.... unless he was psychic im pretty sure if Iraq had to do with 9/11 he wouldnt have known that before it even happened
The rich get richer (Bush's "elite") and the poor get poorer?
In a country where WalMart can make butt-tons of money using minimum wage workers and in some cases Mexicans who work for even less just so they can get richer, I am ashamed to be a citizen. I'd personally rather be on welfare too than work my ass off at two min. wage jobs to feed a family.
MORE LATER... watch the debate tonight biatches

Political Intelligence Con't
Let me just say that I have a lot of democratic views, and up until this election was nothing but democratic, but am voting for Bush.
Ok first of all, at least Cory is voting for something he believes in-terriorism and war. If thats all he is focusing on that is better than a lot of dumb ass people (rock stars and actors-public eye) I see on tv that say, "hey vote for Kerry b/c Bush is dumb." At least Cory has one point that he believes in and knows about. So I say if thats all you know Cory you are at least somewhat into what is going on and smarter than a majority of our peers!
Second, Emily, the whole abortion thing really doesn't matter. The only people that can change that is the Supreme Court. Plus, Bush is pro-life but doesn't oppose abortion if a woman gets raped, its incest, or unhealty for the mother. So don't worry about having to go through horrible events of being raped and ending up with a child. I think this issue is put at rest!
Right now I am as sick as a dog so I am going back to bed but I will have more in the next couple of days. Stay tuned!

Yeah, research
Cory,
I want you to post something other than the word "terrorism" when it comes to Bush, and I give you my word I will listen and be more than happy consider your opinion.
Oh, look HALLOWEEN SITES

Political Intelligence..................
Cory, people find those quotes when they 'learn' about the two canidates for the 2004 presidential election. This learning process is called 'research'. In this case it is learning about what each canidate plans to do for their four years in office, what they support and don't support.
On a different note you believe that Bush is doing a great job about 'terrorism'? He has been fighting 'terrorism' now for 3 years. What do we have to show for it? The answer to that question would be nothing. Please, prove me wrong. So how can you say he has great plans for terrorism? If he does why hasn't he done anything in the past 3 years?! What is this great plan anyways?! We give you examples of what Kerry wants to do, why can't you give us examples of what Bush wants to do? Please, give us examples of WHY you want to vote for Kerry, thats all we ask, and then we will leave you alone and respect your decision.
Here are some reasons WHY I want to vote for Kerry:
1) I am a college student, and tuition rates are increasing more than inflation. Even if I wasn't a college student, I still want to be able to afford sending my children to college. It is stupid to think that a college degree will cost you more than what most people pay for their homes that they live in for the rest of their lives. ~ Bush began the 'no child left behind', this was great, but then he made it so the really poor people who really needed it weren't eligible. Not only did he do that, but he also cut over a billion dollars from this program to, in his words, "fight terrorism". Is POVERTY (poor, under educated) not one of the 4 MAIN SOURCES OF CRIME? So wouldn't taking money, chances, hope, and education from the poor allow more crime and "TERRORISM" within our own boundaries? Because there will be more children traped in their economic status without even a chance to move one step up within the social classes. YEAH THATS WHAT I THOUGHT! Kerry on the other hand has made a wonderful plan to make college affordable for EVERYONE. By means of community service.
2) I am a woman, and I am prochoice! I want the reassurance of knowing that if I get raped within my lifetime and become pregnant by my rapist I will have the choice to stop that. By means of "The morining after pill" or by abortion. I shouldn't have to carry that child ( a reminder of that horrible event) for 9 months and go in front of muiltipe juries and people I've never seen to re-tell my horrible story, just so I can gain enough rights in "The Land Of The Free" to make my own decision. It would not be fair to myself or that unborn child to place me responsible of a life that I didn't want, especially if I am not responsible enough to make my own decision about my own body. Bush is against every thing that I just stated. Kerry is on the exact same level of thought as me.
3) I believe knowledge is the most important thing in the world. You need knowledge to survive in our society. You need to know what foods are healthy and which are not. You need to know how to protect yourself, in more ways than one. Bush has wanted (not sure if this has passed yet) to take all sex education out of health classes in the United States. He wants to take all mention of ways to protect your self from sexually transmitted diseases and ways to avoid becoming pregnant out of health classes. With AIDS at an extremely increasing rate within the United States, we should, as a Country, try to do everything we can to stop it. We should be telling middle schooler's how NOT to be infected with AIDS, rather than not tell them anything at all. We should be helping to save lifes, not end them faster. There were 7.4 million people infected with HIV in 2003. (that is a stat, but that was the newest one I could find). The percentage of new outbreaks of brothel-based sex workers dropped from 43 percent in 1998 to 29 percent in 2002 due to condom-promotions. Come on people that number was almost halved because of awarness and knowledge. Bush wants to take that away from us and the youth. How stupid can you be?!!
Ok, I need to stop now because I am appalled by all of this................... but I will write more later...

too much time on your hands
You know i could do the same thing for "the great John Kerry", but i have better things to do with my time. As you can see the people who support Kerry are always looking for gay shit like write a poem from the stuff he said. Get a life really

If this doesn't make me wanna vote Bush...
I'm going to have to give my props to Cory Dack on this one. I was looking on Alex Eichen's blog, cuz I remembered it from when he showed it to Kate and I. It's pretty interesting so I glance there every so often.
To the point, Cory had THIS on her profile, ENJOY:
This poem is composed entirely of actual quotes from George W. Bush. The quotes have been arranged for aesthetic presentation by Washington Post writer Richard Thompson.
MAKE THE PIE HIGHER By George W. Bush
I think we all agree, the past is over. This is still a dangerous world. It's a world of madmen and uncertainty and potential mental losses. Rarely is the question asked Is our children learning? Will the highways of the Internet become more few?How many hands have I shaked? They misunderestimate me. I am a pitbull on the pantleg of opportunity. I know that the human being and the fish can coexist. Families is where our nation finds hope, whereour wings take dream. Put food on your family! Knock down the tollbooth! Vulcanize society! Make the pie higher! Make the pie higher!

Michael Moore disappointment
Damn it!!! I did a story the other day about Michael Moore possibly coming to EIU. Apparently, the board has decided not to bring him, and now I have to write another story, this time saying HE'S NOT coming here instead of the one I wrote before.
I was really getting excited!!! And my brother was even going to come up to see him, but not anymore probably, since Moore's not coming, and I'm sad.

HOWDY Y'ALL
Aww...Cory I miss you!!
Ok so I have only been in Texas for a little over a day but its kind of sucking. I guess it would when all I have is my sister and Chris, my bro-in-law. Sure Chris E. is here but I hung out with him tonight and he's changed. I didn't like hanging out with him at all. I love having friends I can just chill with. Like watch tv and make fun of people and stuff and it wasn't like that at all. So I don't know how many more times I will hang out with him. Shhh...don't tell anyone this though. ANYWAY...
So I arrived in San Antonio at 6pm Tuesday and that night I unpacked and had dinner with Angie and Chris. Then Chris tried to teach me the drums but they are so loud that we couldn't do much b/c it was late and we didn't want to wake up the neighbors. Plus it drives the dogs insane!!!
Today Angie and I went to this place called Artisian's Alley. Its really cool. Its a few jewerly, clothing, and home furnishing botiques. I got this rockin straw cowboy hat with flames on it! Although i am not a big fan of flames like Laura and Andy G. this hat is just too cute to resist! Plus apparently these kind of hats are real big with the girls down here like when you go canoeing or when the rodeo comes to town. Ye' ha. Then we went to this huge jewerly store and I put in an application and purchased a pair of star earrings and this cool watch. Then hung out with Chris E. and so far thats all I have done.

Was it too good to be true??
Ok. Well the other night when we (Laura, Cory, Em, Steve, and Rach)went to Steak n Shake we saw Justin Mathenia. I was all types of "omg hes hot!" Blah, blah, blah. You know me. Well I got a hold of him through stlpunk b/c I couldn't let it rest at this guy is hot. We just got back from a date! I knew I would have a good time or at least I figured it wouldn't suck. Well I had an awesome time. We really clicked! It turns out that he is leaving tomorrow b/c he's in the Navy and hes going to Michigan or something like that(which sucks) but in 2 months he is moving to San Antonio!!! Can you believe that?!?!? It's kind of weird. Here I think this guy that I haven't seen since like freshman year (and I use to think he was an ass) is all hot and hes moving to not only the same state but the same freaking city as I am. Which only leaves me with these 2 quotes..."It's a small world" and "Everything happens for a reason." I'm going to bed very happy with the things turned out tonight!

no bars for LaLa
It's the weekend and I'm happy. I have been waiting for this.
We can't get into the bars without a fake tho, so I guess I'd better find other methods of entertainment till either I meet more people or turn 21.
I have been sitting around the room for awhile now. I need to get to reading but I thought I'd post on here first.
For any of you who want to come visit me in Chucktown, the following are directions:
*255 to 270 Indianapolis
*follow this until it turns into 70 Indianapolis (east)
*(When you see the cross, you're in Effingham.) right past Effingham take 57 N toward Chicago
*take 16E (exit 190 A) toward Charleston
*right onto 4th st.
