Thank the Lord for Whataburger.. I think
I am up pretty late tonight and was having a craving for some food. I walked around my house in search of some "yummy for my tummy" but was unsuccessful. I had the immediate thought "I will just go up to Whataburger!". That was a very bad idea. I fell victim to the whatasized Patty Melt meal. If any of you have ever had this, it is basically a double pattied burger with onions and melt sauce and it is full of grease. You can feel your arteries being clogged and your heart shutting down as you eat it. The woman asked me if I wanted it whatasized which was a very bad idea. The lady hands me a 44 oz cup of Dr. Pepper to go with my meal. Who drinks 44 oz. of soda in one sitting? It's ridiculous. I tried to look up how many calories I just induced into my body but was unsuccessful. On second thought, I don't think I want to know what just went into my body.

Some of my views on politics..
As much as I would like to get interested in politics, I always seem to find myself getting irritated with it. It seems like much of the time these politicians are like bad used car salesman. You can never get the straight and narrow from the news media. There is always a slant somewhere for the Democrats and the Republicans. I have thought long and hard about both candidates who are running this year and I have been leaning more towards McCain. Not necessarily for the person who is running but for the views I am passionate about. Many people have been downing McCain saying that he is going to be "more of the same". Just because a candidate shares a lot of views with someone else doesn't mean that they aren't going to have better leadership skills or that they aren't going to be more qualified for the position. I personally like Obama but I am questioning whether he would be prepared to take on the position of being a great president. Honestly, whoever can lead the country most efficiently is the person who will earn my vote this coming election. I just think that when you are voting this year, you should really look at what that party or person stands for. I want unborn children to have the right to have sanctity of life even though at this moment the Republicans have not acted on shutting down abortion. On the democratic or moderate side of me, I don't see anything wrong with two gay people being together. I think that if two people want to be together in a relationship, they should have the right to do so. Who are we to judge what "marriage" is. We, the people, are who defines marriage by opinion. My idea of marriage is that I will find a the woman I love and be with her for the rest of my life. For some people, marriage is finding someone you care about and then getting a divorce after a few years. I think if you preach equal rights but you deny gay people of their civil unions then you are just being a hypocritical. The whole issue on gun control is something that I have been dealing with. I agree that in most cases "guns do not kill people but people kill people". If we abolished guns, people who really wanted to murder would find ways to get ahold of firearms. It is just like the concept of drugs in America. Just because we have laws that tell people it is illegal doesn't mean that people aren't using them all around the United States. There are a lot of people who are passionate about guns who do not use them for harming others. Should we take away their passion for guns because we feel that certain people abuse the ability to possess a weapon. Criminals are still going to find ways to harm people. If we take away guns, we will more than likely see more stabbings or other types of mischief. Those are simply some of my political views which I possess. I guess it is just my perspective.
