World is amazing
I read something that sickens me, the state GOP majority state senate trying to ban gay marriage, and some of the stuff said is :puke:ariffic, my state senator thank god is against the ban, then I read something moving about a local pre school teacher who grew up fatherless and feels this is his obligation, hes also a student at the local comm college. Would be nice if the world was more like the latter instead of the former which people with their bigoted selves trying to ban two people in love from marrying each other.

3. Yes you are.
You are passionate and moved by injustice. There are no boundaries to what you can accomplish. You can change the world, whether it's in a big way or (seemingly) small.
Think of the impact you have had on the Lounge.

5. You're way more than a silly ass!
You're a passionate guy who speaks his mind and is interested in politics and things far beyond the scope of many of those in your peer group. I think you're underestimating yourself.

14. Fortunately, Kleeb,
there are alot more of us, world-wide, than there are of them. At this moment in time the haters have the upper hand in our little (and increasingly insignificant) corner of the world, but humanity has survived this long because we and the rest of the good people have prevailed over Bush and his ilk time after time. We will overcome this time, too.
