Religious Right is Wrong

[Anime Monster]

Your welcome, you stick around, you'll get more. I'm using this for my political rants. I have tons and tons of them...I'm way too involved in politics, comes with having a journalistic mind.

Oh, great, politics....lovely. lol

Okay, gonna reference back to a movie I watched when I was...young and impressionable, during the Mary Kate and Ashley days when they made decent movies. ANyway, the one where they go to Australia, "Our Lips Are Sealed." The girl that "adopts" them is part of the "Individualist" group. They all wear their hair in pigtails, blue plaid uniform skirts, and blue uniform shirts (I think). And, almost all of them (save one) had the name, Sheila! And they called themselves freaking individualists? I was hardly 10 and I realized they weren't individuals!

But, honestly, what is an individual? There are so many people that call themselves individuals that we could start a club and easily raise money to stop world hunger. Okay, maybe not that much, but you know! You can hear someone say that they "follow the beat of their own drum," but you go ask a person two seconds later, and you'll probably get the same response!

According to my dictionary, the definition for individual is: "existing as a separate thing or being; single; particular. Of, for, or by a single person or thing. Unique or striking."

*hands a soap box to Al* There ya go, hon. That one is labeled the Individual Speech. *nods*

No human can truly be an individual because all human nature, creativity, and choice is influenced by those around us. Once in a decade (if that short) there will be someone to "break the mold" with something and then everyone will follow that till we're searching for that person to "break the mold." These "break the mold" people, though, aren't even true individuals, they're improvers, or in some cases, the opposite. They take something already in creation and change it, hopefully for the better.

Thomas Edison, he was an individual. I mean, who would have thought that if you run electricity into a specially made wire enclosed in a vacume tube you'll get light without candles before him?

Steve Jobs was an improver. He took the computer and made it into something the average person could figure out, someone without a college degree in advance computer science. (Steve Jobs founded Apple and Macintosh, incase you don't know)

Then you have fashion. If someone tries to be an individual the "fashion police" will tell them they're wrong. Sure sometimes their individual outfits make them look like bumblebees or something, but they're at least trying to be different from the mundane.

And now back to politics, since I have a rant that I need to get out...

Everyone knows that during an election the preverbial mud gets slung, and some of a politicians favorite mud is drug use. Every politician denies it, but really, these politicians, today, are coming out of the sixties, if they weren't doing drugs I'd like to know what glass bubble they were living in.

It ticks me off that people want another, even if it is their leader, to be perfect and that no one will tell them otherwise. If you ever find a "perfect" person point them out and if they're truly perfect I'll eat my hat, shoes, and shirt, and I'm not that crazy about cotton and synthetic fibers.

I'd like to know what bubble they were in, too! Just for research matters! Lol

Yeah, Thomas Edison was an individualist...Einstein could be considered one, too, couldn't he? I mean, the man was a freaking genius, but he forgot his shoes all the time. So he definitely wasn't one of those obsessive compulsive ones, at least in that department. lol

I don't dress in a certain style; I dress in what I like, and what is comfortable. Techincally, it's my own fashion, so to speak. I wanted to go to fashion design school in NY, but changed my mind since I have hardly any real fashion sense. I'd mix stripes with polkadots if my mom would let me. lol But I changed my mind from fashion design to costume design. I'll let my fashion stay with me, thank you, and not pollute the world with another "trend."

[Anime Monster]

The only thing keeping me from wearing one black sock and one white sock is the fact that someone else always matches my socks for me... And there is nothing wrong with stripes and poka dots as long as the color matches, if the color doesn't, well than, sucks to be you.

Gah, I hate trends. My least favorite is the current, waist band around knees jean and t-shirt look. I mean, for f**k**g Christ's sake, god gave us pants so we wouldn't have to see each other's *ss*s. *bangs head*

EDIT: BTW, *ss*s needs to be added to the list.

You know how old the "sag" is? From when Mark Walberg was a freaking Hanes Underwear model about 10 years ago. He wore a size 34 pair of jeans on his size 32 waist to show off the Hanes underwear band. After that, all the guys started to do it, too. I can't remember what year exactly, but it was in the early 90's. I read about it in an article one time, I think in People magazine. (I read clips from tabloids in the checkout line)

I love toesocks. I have a pair that I got for Christmas last year that has Christmas candy on it that go up PAST my knees. They're so neat. I love wearing them. Anyway, my best friend wears them, too, and she'll wear knee high toe socks with a knee-length skirt, sometimes flipflops or her pink and black rose Vans. It looks really neat. She's cool that way. lol

But point is, she is pretty close to being an individual. She has a unique thought process that sometimes, I just have to look at her like she's on Nyquil (she's a cheap drunk off of that stuff) or something like that.

I sometimes read the tabloid headlines, but I put no stalk in it.

Knee length socks and skirts? That's so cool
