FYI

I believe everyone should make their own decisions about politics. That is why I hate to hear celebrities talking about what is right or wrong and spreading their general self-righteousness to the masses...

with that said (and as I am not a celebrity)...

I would like to note that possible and probable presidential candidate Fred Thompson (from my home state Tennessee) has declared that he would support a constitutional ban on gay marriage and actively try to overturn Roe v. Wade if elected president. Do with this information what you will, but I would like people to be informed.

On another note,

I love reading stories about old people kicking ass and taking names. You know what I mean, those blurbs on cnn.com about 105 yr. old woman who took out a burglar or the latest about an 82 yr. old who stabbed a would-be attacker with an ice-pick. Serves the scumbag right.

I think people should keep it to themselves too, meaning politicians don't need to make laws about who can or can't get married or do what with their bodies. I think those should be personal decisions, much like the personal decision people make NOT to vote for this candidate...thanks for the info.

First, I hate talking politics... mostly because it has been the end of several friendships. Also, I tend to focus only on a couple of issues (namely gay rights and civil rights) instead of the whole picture (thus, arguing ALL of the issues is a pointless waste of time).

The info you provided about Fred Thompson was not a huge surprise. I think those who would vote for him are Law & Order fans and they would actually be voting for his character on the show and not the real politician.

Wow, end of friendships? Who might you be speaking of??
