Prop 8 was shot down, of course.

I’m not running around in the streets yelling my thoughts or professing hate in any way.  I’m not even ecstatic that the federal government recognizes partnership between two people independent of gender.

Forward thinking, part 2

It has not gone unnoticed that circumstances that befuddle the imagination and coincidences that produce a superhumorous irony make for a world of innumerable falsities.

The words are here to explain this further, but they do not come easily.  While the thought wraps around my mind I attempt to adapt my neural network to translate it inadequately.

What I mean to say is that suspicion is raised by events that seem to have some sort of destiny to them, and chains of events that ironically lead to an events completion instead of its compromise.  A famous example is the many failed attempts at Hitler’s assassination.  Another example might be the successful assassination of Kennedy.  Presidential security failed him, but do our heroes really require security?  Couldn’t they tempt fate around every corner and be protected by some sort of cosmic duty?  Could there be an event so crucial to the development of our known universe that all the very matter that composes us falters in such a way to create a near miss, or a devastating blow?  David can slay Goliath.  Achilles’s heel will be pierced.  A great evil will continue to wage war despite the number of united nations.

What happens if we become aware of this?  Do we get arrogant and foolish?  Do we unwittingly resign from our position as Hero?  If we command our fate outside the prison of fear, our power is limitless.  We have the power to choose good over evil.  What if that evil is the good?  What if we are the evil?  Then the plane of contest is matched.  When the righteous collide, only death remains as their common bond.

One may imagine that if there were two parties at conflict and neither seemed to back down a conclusion of morality could be met.  If one group wished to not destroy the other, yet this other group refused to negotiate, does that make them the wronger?  How deep does our understanding of nature and humanity go?  Simply because it was stated that man has the right to live, does it make it a universal truth?  Is capital punishment ever just?

Supposing it is, then there is a faith-based judicial system which can justify that an unalienable right has lost its presence in an individual.  Said person is branded as evil or unwanted, and is unforgivable and unrehabilitatable.  There is no higher presence to veto this practice of ours outside of the very immutable time that passes them eagerly.

Supposing it is not, then we’re limited to penalties such as corporal punishment and imprisonment.  Is there a measure to precisely how different this is?  Imprisonment denies the US Constitution’s first amendment.  In light of the media’s trend of spoon-feeding us Mother Earth and preservation, what if humanity is not the vehicle of universal rights and truths?  Surely, after all, humans deserve the reward for protecting the universe…

The Great Contradiction

Venus de Milo

I have been fascinated by human emotion for some time.  I simultaneously look back at the moments in my life where my emotions were at there height and battle to forget that what makes me feel.  I am held back by feelings and I cannot move forward or appreciate my being without them.  I have received criticism in my life for not feeling when the situation called for it.  I have been accused of bottling my feelings for an inevitable release.

The Revolution will be a Webcast

You will be able to stay at home, brother.
You will be able to tune in, turn on and space out.
You will be able to lose yourself on youtube and digg,
Dig in your couch cushions for beer change,
Because the revolution will be a webcast
