Barack Obama is the child of a black father and a white mother. As I sit here, NPR just finished an interview with David Axelrod wherein they played a recording of a voter in, I believe, Virginia who as much as admitted she believed that, if elected, Sen. Obama would look out for the interests of "his people." Um, does she know that she's actually ONE OF HIS PEOPLE???
I'm so tired of ignorance. People are just lazy. All the information is there. Readily available. But people choose to stay in the dark and cling to whatever ignorant ideas have gotten them to where they are -- and most people who are truly ignorant haven't gotten very far. . .I mean, I'm just sayin'.
Get a clue people! If you don't know something, look it up! Go to the library and get on the computer if you don't have one. Buy a newspaper! Again, the library has them FOR FREE!!
It's disgusting that we have the privilege of participating in the governance of our country but we don't take even the tiniest step to become truly informed so that we can make the best decision.
Now, more than ever, people need to know the REAL truth. Don't just listen to what they spout in the debates and commercials. . .LOOK IT UP!
'k.. . getting off my soapbox now.

Wow..kinda like my views on the Word...no?
Thanks once again for your input at class last night. You bring a dynamic that is sorely missing when you aren't there...willingness to share. What a great testimony in and of itself to those still trying to find their feet.
Thanks!!!
Some people don't want to know. You won't believe how many times I've told friends and family about Obama only to have them turn around and regurgitate the stuff they heard on Limbaugh that contradicts it all.
There are people out there that just want to hate him and there's nothing you can say to change their mind.
So sad!
