And they call me...Tater Salad...

I need to get a few things off my chest.

I am so very glad that the Presidential election turned out the way it did, BUT, I do not enjoy being talked to as if I am stupid because I voted for Obama. So what if he's darker skinned? So what if his middle name is Hussein? What does it matter???? Close minded people who wouldn't vote for him because he is black are ignorant. They must believe emails they've gotten about him being the anti-Christ I guess. I know that a lot of people simply just don't feel connected to Democrats- and that is perfectly fine with me! I don't have anything against Republicans. But why can't people study the background of the person they are supporting (and those that they aren't) before casting judgement???
And since the election is over, why do people have to be so obnoxiously rude and send messages on Facebook or Myspace that Obama supporters are supporting terrorism by voting for him? Honestly, can more than 51% of the country be that horribly stupid? (Don't answer that question.)


The other thing that bothers me right now also has to do with the election. The cohabitation law that was passed is rediculous. I was in foster care when I was 13 and until just after I was 20 (I know, it's a long time, and it's a long story why I was in it until I was so old!). I never lived in a home with more than 5 other foster kids, but even then, that is a LOT of kids to be in one house at a time. There just aren't enough foster parents to go around in this country, but especially in Arkansas. In class today someone said that the reason they felt this should pass is because of stability for the children. So, just because a couple is married that means that they will stay together? What about the divorce rate in this country? And if that is true, then maybe we should legalize gay marriage, because it's widely known that if they could get married, they would. And what about those people who have been together for decades and just don't feel they should have to sign a paper to justify their relationship? Now, they can't adopt or take in foster kids. This is the craziest thing I've heard in quite a while, and I am pretty pissed about it.


GRR!

Good news: I got a job today! Yay! I actually got the call in the middle of this entry :)

I start Monday, and I'll be working Monday's and Wednesday's 1-3, and Tuesday's and Thursday's 2-5. I'm pretty stoked!
