The Attic Of Dee

I try and not be very political. I have certain beliefs and things aren’t always going to be my way. Like for one the death penalty. I am not for the death penalty. I have always tried to make it clear if someone is to kill me, please make them live in prison for the rest of their life, do not let them check out of this life, the one they robbed from me. Make them live everyday with the thought of so much they stole from me by having things taken from them. I think killing them is an easy way out. If this ever happens to me, hopefully someone will remember how I felt and a judge or maybe a jury will put a lot of thought into it and honor my wish.

I got the president that I wanted. I watched all night hoping that in the end, I would see Obama win. At one time during the night, I had to go and wash my hair. I couldn’t stand to keep refreshing the map and watching the states turning red and blue. I need better health care and more income, like it is my life. Without the two I will have no life. Then I went out to get gas and cough drops. I was running low on cough drops and hoping for a sale somewhere.

I voted on every proposition. I wanted the gay marriage to stand. I didn’t realize how much this one would piss me off. I feel like gay people should be able to get married. First off marriage is nothing more than a contract between two people. It is a legal contract between two people. It is not romantic at all. I am a woman and no person in their right mind would want to enter into contract with me. I might be a catch because I have no personal debt, a prefect driving record, I am intelligent, etc. I have bills, just no debt. Why I am not a catch… I can’t get medical insurance. I have too many medical conditions. I had cancer in my 30’s! I can’t get life insurance more than likely. When I die the state is going to rob my estate. That does not make me someone that anyone would want to enter into a contract with. See it is just a contract. How in the world the union between man and woman became sacred is beyond me. This is about state law and church has to be removed from it. I don’t think it has. When I voted, I did not vote with my religious beliefs in the forefront. I also don’t believe that I have the right to push my religion onto others. So I stripped the prop down and I looked at it. I understand marriage as a contract and who am I to say who can enter into contracts of marriage. Their is some straight people that I don’t think should be able to get married. Do we as a state have to right to tell them they can’t get married? We have people that marry distant relatives, marry for money, marry each other over and over again. Gay people getting married does not effect me or any straight person on this planet.

If gay people want to get married, let them! It isn’t hurting anyone. Why are they not given the same rights? I totally understand why they want this right, but also they need to understand that it is not romantic and that it is nothing but a contract. It is a damn contract! When a person gets divorced they see how messy getting out of that contract is. Love is love and if people had love for one another they would just let them be, even is that meant same sex or your third cousin, you have married five times.

Can we have a recount, California?
