Everyday, freedoms are questioned. They are questioned, and thought about by politicians, who think they are making the right choice for society. They are questioned by business owners, to protect their business. They are questioned by the people, who want answers.
I see posts on Facebook all the time, guns, marriage, war, holidays... Its sad that such petty things allow so many undies to bunch. Here are a few that make me question the direction society is headed.
Straight Pride.
Gay pride is nothing new. Parades and gatherings have been happening for many many years. The object of Gay Pride is to show people that we are who we are. We are here, we are queer, and we arent leaving. But, this offends the straight people. Straight people have always been accepted in public. They have always had the right to marry. They have always had the right to shop where they want, go out in public and feel safe. Gays, on the other hand just received their right to marry, however, many are discriminated against for shopping at a certain store, beaten when out in public, shouted at, and threatened when in public.
Heterosexuals have had ZERO hurdles to overcome. Homosexuals, have MANY! It isnt easy being a gay man, it frighteningly hard.
Guns.
America was founded on 10 basic principles that cannot be taken away. One of those rights is the right to bear arms. Everyday I see post about "protect the second amendment," but what people dont know it is DAMN hard to change an amendment.
In case you forgot elementary social studies, it takes 2/3 House, 2/3 Senate, or a constitutional convention called for by 2/3 of the State legislatures. Then, once those requirements are met, the constitution can be changed.
So, relax, the government cannot "take" your precious guns away!
This is just a few examples. There are more, a lot more, and this blog will be continued.
