^^ That is one of my BIGGEST pet peeves. And with all the equal marriage hype, it has reached a new high. I'm all for people expressing their views and debating politics -- I love debating politics, like a lot actually. But not with close minded people, who just attack each other, and especially not on Facebook!
My professor of my international politics class shared a quote with us today by President Hugh B. Brown that I really liked.
"Strive to develop a maturity of mind and emotion, and a depth of spirit which will enable you to differ with others on matters of politics without calling into question the integrity of those with whom you differ. Allow within the bounds of our definition of religious orthodoxy a variation in political belief."
I think that says it better than any rant of mine could. Have a nice day, and as Hughie says, aim for maturity and the world will be a much more civil place.
Sorry for the twice-in-one-day posting, but 1) I'm exited about my new design, and 2) I had to post about the State of the Union.
Anyway it kind of surprised me how excited I was to watch it! Kass called me a politics nerd. And I am. I don't know why but it is so exciting to me! Every experience I have with Washington and with government makes me want to be a part of it more and more.
Also, I love Michelle Obama, but who doesn't? She is so classy and hip. Between her and Kate Middleton, people are seeing how modest can be trendy.
I'm all energized now and want to help get things accomplished! But then I remind myself that the State of the Union makes all changes sound so easy and obvious, but it still is exciting.
I am a politics nerd, I have accepted it. Hey, at least I'm not a math nerd.
