Mitt Romney
So on my way to work this morning I was listening to "Morning Edition" on NPR, and they were reporting on Mitt Romney's rating in the South Carolina. When interviewing a lady who was born in Utah but now resides in South Carolina she had this to say:
"I know a little bit about Mormonism and there's absolutely no way that I could vote for Mitt Romney because of that," she said. "It's not a Biblical-based, Judeo-Christian religion. It's a cult."
Ok! I'm not going to vote for Romney, but not because he's a mormon but because he's a conservative republican. Unless I missed the section in Government class a precursor for the president is that he/she has to be a protestant. Americans flipped when JFK ran for president because he was Catholic; my God! it's not like he was friggin Mary Queen of Scotts. I just don't understand this obsession that the US President has to be Evangelical Christian. The great thing about this country is that it has freedom of religion; our forefathers drafted a constitution that separates religion and state; no where does it say that the president must be Christian or share the popular religion of the nation. Frankly, his religion shouldn't be weighed that heavy because if he is upholding his Oath he will not allow his religion to interfere with the matters of this country.
I don't see it as a negative when I see candidates who are religious; I'm just saying that it shouldn't be seen as a necessary trait. I think the morals of a candidate is far more important to look at. Because you don't have to be religious to be a morally good person, and just because your religious doesn't mean you make morally good decisions.
NEhoo it was an interesting report if you want to check it out here's the link

First Entry
I feel that since this is my first entry it should be profound or at least a slight interesting; however, I have a feeling I won't live up to that expectation. I should be studying for my LSAT right now but I'm procrastinating. I like to do that once an awhile.
As I sit here I am beginning to realize why my daughter yells so much. I mean she yells alot; however, I should add she yells in that cute endearing way. but back to the reason why: We are a loud family. I can hear my parents conversation from my room and my door is closed. Do we think the volume of our voice will get our point across more easily? If anything I think it makes it easier to tune each other out; while we conjure a rebuttal. I know I catch myself doing that sometimes. Will my daughter do the same thing? Oh how our vices come back and bite us in the ass.
On the other hand I like that we're loud. At least we all have something to say. Have u ever been at a friends house and no one talks to each other. Can you say: awkward! So if I had to chose I' take to loud family (as long as it's not loud and ignorant). And I love how my daughter yells at the hoodlum kids next door its like she's taking the words right out of my mouth.
Ok the concludes my random thought; I have to get back to studying. :(
