What’s Important and What’s Not by Justin
The following is a guest post by Justin(brix) from the Thorspace Forum.

There is a lot of talk on who is going to be the next President of the United States. Only that whoever it is needs to have the ability to bring the people together. In my personal opinion, Obama is the person to do just that.
For anyone that did not watch Democratic National Convention. They had to move the acceptance session into Mile High Stadium. Because of the reaction that people had to Obama. I read that so many people tuned in to see him speak that they could not even rate it. That compared to when John Kerry ran in the last election. Only 20,000 people were present at his acceptance. I liked John Kerry fine, but honestly he did not have the appeal needed for president. That is my opinion on why the election was so close. There were so many people in doubt of both candidates the vote was practically split down the middle.
Anyway, there is a lot at stake this election. Now I know there are a lot of you on here who cannot vote. But this is still important because this is history in the making. The first Black Male has become an official candidate for President on the United States. Several year’s ago, I would not think that was possible.
There is going to be a lot of people undecided who will vote for McCain. Or will not vote at all. Honestly, McCain started out as a good hopeful for president 4 years ago. But I believe he has changed his ways to coincide with the power to be that wants the county to stay at its current economic state. The Republican method does not work. History has shown this, if anyone reads their charter it is not geared towards people but towards corporations.
One reason they can sway so many people is because the Republican Party usually plays the pro-life card. Now, I’m for life. But I’m also for people to have the ability to make their own decisions. If a life wasn’t meant to be, it wasn’t meant to be. For whatever the reason, that’s why the court decision was made. It is un-constitutional to restrict Women from doing what they want with their body. So why do they keep pushing pro-life? A decision has been made 30 years ago. Let’s move on please. Aside from that, the Republican’s will tell you anything you want to hear regarding anything that will get to you to vote for them. They will also say your vote is needed to keep the morals of this country in order. One such long-term conservative goal is protecting the insurance companies from Gay Marriage and forcing religious beliefs upon children which have nothing to do with a legal bond between two people.
To sum things up, honestly I’m sick of every election time some conservative comes along with an obnoxious notion that does not concern the good of the nation. Where do people get these ideas? Has our county become so out of whack that people who are poor and have prices going up and up everyday really support these a-holes? I for one am not going to and I hope after reading this it will be a small example to anyone who is truly unsure over why this nation should be changed for the future.
