Thoughts on America

Issues America has:

• Drug cartels in other countries, because they bring in an illegal substance, cause death and destruction, and the money is used to further perpetrate a corrupt system based around fear and death.
• Gay Marriage (because reasons, I suppose).

Here are some things I think about these issues:

• We can all acknowledge that drugs are going to be used by people that want to use them. If we stop other countries from getting drugs into ours, we will then have to contend with the drugs being manufactured and/or grown in our own country. The logical step to prevent other (perhaps hostile) countries from giving our people unsafe, unregulated drugs that were brought here by people forced into said trade under penalty of their families being murdered by drug lords would be to legalize and regulate drugs. Perhaps even set up facilities for those that insist on using said drugs. This does not fix all problems with drugs, of course. Many are dangerous and can kill our people. But these selfsame people will find ways to obtain drugs by any means necessary, and if it comes to that then we, as a nation, should do our best to keep them safe, educated, and monitored. It is not ideal, but (in my opinion) much safer for our country and its individual people.
• Being “anti-” anything gives the idea or object power. Do not acknowledge that which does not affect you if you must. Homo-eroticism and Homo-romanticism have existed and have been documented for all recorded human history, and is observed in many other species. These species did not die out, and neither has humanity died out or become overwhelmingly populated by same-sex inclined persons, pedophiles, or deviants (I list these persons because these are common arguments of the hyper-anti-gay collective groups). Marriage is a religious term. Not all people have one religion. America is a country meant to be a land of religious freedom. HOWEVER, many non-religious persons are “married” (as in, a committed partnership wherein assets, duties, and domicile(s) are shared). THEREFORE, no one married outside the Church is technically married, but “marriage” has become vernacular describing a union. If we can agree that these things are true, and agree that “marriage” can be described as a consensual union between people, then the Church and State have no grounds to disallow a union between persons. (I flatly refuse to discuss the quibbling over “union” and “marriage”).
