Post Jaded?

I guess maturity had to come to me sooner or later. I find myslef so much more open to the plight and the woes of the world than i used to be. I’m no longer necessarily “fighting the man” but trying to understand the ways of the world and the moral decline of the society i hold so dear.

Ive been a republican most of my life; probably mostly because of my family. I’ve never been a hard core republican tho; I believe in freedom of choice; I believe that as long as tobacco remains legal; so should Marijuana. I believe that people need to take responsibility for their own lives and stop trying to get the government involved in all the little aspects of your lives. I feel people who kill people and are caught should die. I feel people who kill people through their stupid actions should die, or spend the rest of their lives in a miserable Jail.

I believe that jails are too posh, and some of the inmates probably have a better life than I do. I believe that many people are rich because they worked damn hard to get there, and they shouldnt be punished by it. I believe that some people are in welfare because they are just lazy punkasses who feel they should be taken care of. I believe that poverty can be “cured” but only if the afflicted works hard to get there. I believe in a helping hand not a hand out.

I believe that parents are responsible for their children, and their children’s attitudes towards life is a direct reflection of their parent’s upbringing of them. I believe that TV is not a babysitter, and TV is not evil. I believe in the freedom to hold a gun, and shoot someone, and kill them.. to protect myself.. or just for kicks. I believe that i wouldnt actually do that; but i want the freedom to do it… I believe that if i was to shoot someone for fun; i should die.

I belive the government doesnt tell us everything. I believe that the media is fucked up; and makes a big deal out of the wrong things. I believe i want to see more “good stories” on the news. I believe i dont need to know there was another murder. I believe i want to see the help a food shelter gives to a community.

I believe i want to raise my children right. i belive that my children will have an advantage over children raised by TV. I belive my children will probably have a rougher childhood, but a better adulthood.

I believe i actually missed Talk Radio; and while i dont agree with all that is said; seeing it from another perspective really makes you think.
