United States Citizens Taking Second Amendment Too Far

Greetings Everyone,

I read in USA Today that a restaurant called Shooter's Grill in Colorado allows their waitresses to carry their guns around their waist. People, this is beyond crazy. Some American Citizens are taking this Second Amendment in the United States Constitution entirely too far. Sometimes, when people have rights, power and privileges, they have the tendency to abuse them and hurt other people. The love of guns is a sick obsession that has dangerous consequences along the way. Caring a gun on the side of you to a restaurant  or any kind of place intended for family enjoyment would be jeopardizing the safety of other people. Please keep mind that real guns are not toys! Guns hurt, injure, and kill. Guns are so dangerous, they can easily go off because of someone's clumsiness of accidentally being dropped on the floor or the ground from someone's just holding it in their hands. Everyone's human balance isn't stable nor perfect. People have the tendency to drop many objects such as pens, pencils, a stack of paper, or even some keys (even if the keys have been in your hand for a long period of time). When a gun goes off that bullet can go anywhere to an unknown destination, whether it's toward a ceiling or to a wall or to a human being, adult or child, at the same speed of a lightning strike. I, too believe in the right to bare arms, but in reality, there is a limit. In my belief of the Second Amendment of the Constitution, it means protection from crime and danger. I believe in keeping a gun for protection for my place of residence and putting it up in a safe place to keep out of reach of other people, because, after all, a gun can fall into the wrong hands.

Who Do You Think You Are? Open Letter to Pamela Geller

Dear Pamela,

As an Christian American, I too believe in the first amendment of the Constitution. But after I seen that sign on the subway, you went too far Pamela. Pamela who do you think you are? Who are you on this earth to even say or even have the thought in your head about who is more civilized than the other? Do you realize they said the same thing about your parents during the Hitler era?  It is very ignorant as well as arrogant of you to say that someone is better than the other. You as a human on this earth don't have the right to decide or even say who is superior or inferior or who is fit to live on this earth, Pamela. You as a human don't have the right to decide which religion is better than the other, Pamela.  Stop the ignorance Pamela. Your negative attitude won't accomplish anything. Throughout history, the word, "savage" was about people who were different from the Europeans and it was used repeatedly by the European explorers who went to other countries and came across people who didn't look like other Europeans. No one has the right to call anyone on this earth an offensive name simply because they are different from you or you don't understand them. The word, "savage" was used for purposes of racism and it is a word that I despise and hate. When you call someone a savage, you are saying that person is "untaught", "inhuman", and "barbaric". Not everyone's method of teaching is the same, it is different. Not everyone's arrangement of living is the same, it is different. We are all human, we are not wild animals. Whether we are Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Islamists, Hindu, White, African American, Native American, Asian, Pacific Islander, Latino, Hispanic, Caribbean, we all bleed the same blood and have the same body organs. We all communicate with our voices. We as people in this world are all children of GOD. GOD made all of us. We as human beings around the world are all unique and that what makes the world fascinating!

Take Back Your Human, Equal and Civil Rights in America

Greetings my people,

They say life is what you make it. Once or twice upon a time that saying was not so true. Decades ago people of different races and LGBT of the past didn't have it so easy, they went through the struggle. America in the past had rules and regulations that caused oppression. Decades ago some people of different races and LGBT died and went through hurt and pain in order to get equal and civil rights. You can do anything you put your mind to if you believe in yourself. Now that phrase, "Life is what you make of it", is true today now things have gotten a little bit better. I strongly advise you to take advantage of that phrase because right now my people, we are at a time that we don't have to accept racism, hate, and bigotry (even though evil these things are still around today). It is important that you must continue to fight for civil, equal and human rights. If you don't, it will slowly be taken away from us. People of different religions (Muslim, Jewish, Catholic, Hindu, and Christian) this includes you also. GOD made of us. People of different religions it is important to continue to fight for freedom of religion and worship in the United States of America! Who do YOU want to be? That is the question. Do not let people intimidate you or hurt your feelings simply because of the way you want to live your life.

All religions don't represent hate and violence. All religions represent peace, love, and happiness.

Kevin Bass: Bringing Us The New Alabama

Greetings Everyone,

I'm still thinking about the 2014 Alabama Gubernatorial election. I like Kevin Bass. He is my age (34 years old) and young people always have progressive, fresh and modern ideas. I think Kevin Bass can help bring Alabama up to date and out of the Dark Ages. Kevin Bass is a man who can make all and different kinds of people, whether they're Black, White, Hispanic, Latino, Asian, Native American, or Pacific Islander and any religion, whether it is Christian, Jewish, Hindu, Muslim, Buddhism, or Sikh, feel like they have a home in Alabama. He is a role model for the young and regular people like me in the state of Alabama and make them aware of what is happening around them. Having Kevin Bass running for Democratic Governor of Alabama makes me finally proud to be a resident of Alabama. I wasn't proud to be a resident of Alabama because the opportunities in some areas in this state are limited for the low and middle class, there is no hope and the ways of thinking of some (not all) people in Alabama is set in the 1950s, but now I'm happy at the fact that Kevin Bass is here and wants to change that. For decades the state of Alabama has been ran by Republican politicians who are corrupt and cater to other rich citizens. For years the Republicans in Alabama have made regular people like me feel like slaves to make ends meet and we have been very unhappy because the Republicans in Alabama just take and take and take and take and they NEVER give back. For years the Republicans in Alabama have made young and regular people like me break our backs and struggle. For years the Republicans in Alabama was making things easy and better for people with money and making things harder and harder for young and regular people like me.
Kevin Bass can create jobs by realizing the needs and demands of the people. He is the man that can move the state of Alabama forward to a better direction. Kevin Bass can help the young people in Alabama help that they have a place in the state of Alabama too. We need new and fresh blood, we need new and more opportunities, we need to turn this state around and make a brand new Alabama, and we need Kevin Bass help to do that.

Kevin for Governor:

Why Parker Griffith (Alabama 2014 Gubernatorial Candidate) Can't Be Trusted!

Greetings Everyone,

Well, it's almost about that time again, the Alabama elections. As you know, I'm a full fledge democrat. The two candidates of the Alabama Gubernatorial election are Kevin Bass and Parker Griffith. I'm not going to beat around the bush. I'm not crazy about Parker Griffith. As a matter of fact, I really don't trust Griffith simply because of his track record in politics. Parker has been a Republican, an Independent, and a Democrat and he has been back and forth around each party ticket. In my opinion, this is instability. As an Alabama citizen, I need a candidate who really understands me and other people my age, no someone who just constantly want to win something. Parker Griffith may be a democrat now, but I get the feeling he will switch parties again soon. How do I know that Griffith's views will change from Democrat to Republican if he wins the election? What are Griffith's true feelings and views from his heart? Griffith maybe saying one thing that is coming out of his mouth but his heart and mind are telling a different story. I can't trust the instability.

Affirmative Action Ban in Michigan

Hello Everyone,

This morning on my way to work I was in shock at the fact that the state of Michigan of the United States of America has put a ban on Affirmative Action. Sometimes I get in the habit of, oh, I don't know, thinking of  "what if" scenarios. The Affirmative Action Ban is targeting the students at colleges and universities in Michigan, but I'm getting a bad feeling that it could give bosses and supervisors at work places ideas. This Affirmative Action Ban will probably be a cancerous sore that will badly spread throughout the country and damage and deteriorate the lives of American Dreams that we, the people (including immigrants who chose to move to the U.S.), worked so hard to maintain in the United States. Without Affirmative Action, this will open many doors not only for the return of discrimination, segregation and the famous Jim Crow, but also sexism and double standards. Just because there is a little change in the White House doesn't mean we can rest. Trust and believe, this is not the end of racism. This ban will have an affect not only on race, but among several other subjects.  This Affirmative Action Ban will have an effect on everyone, including Caucasians. The people who voted for this Affirmative Action Ban in Michigan right now don't realize this vote will come back to haunt as well as bite them later on in the future. It sickens me at the fact that a lot of  state representatives come up with ideas without thinking about the consequences. The people who voted for the Affirmative Action Ban in Michigan are forgetting the fact that discrimination does NOT have a one way definition. Today, discrimination comes in all forms, in many different ways. Today, the United States of America is a different country. Today there are so many minority owned businesses as well as minority owned organizations. Today there are so many minorities with money. Take some time to think really hard: What if a minority owned company or business that you applied for don't want to hire you because your skin color is white? What if a company or business that you applied for don't want to hire you because you are a female (it doesn't matter if you're and black, white, Hispanic or Asian woman, they just don't want a female)? What if a company, business, university or college you put in an application for don't want to hire or admit you because of your religion? What if a company, business, university or college you put in an application for don't want to hire or admit you because of the way you wear your hair? What if a company, business, university or college you put in an application for don't want to hire or admit you because you have certain or specific needs? What if a company, business, university or college that you put an application at don't want to hire or admit you because you are gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgender? Without Affirmative Action, all of the rights and opportunities that minority leaders along with other people work so hard to get throughout the years would be in vain. Without Affirmative Action, the United States of America would be promoting ignorance. Affirmative Action is what help all of us look at people as human beings, bleeding the same blood, having the same body organs, and grow together as one as we go further into the future. With Affirmative Action the United States of America will forever promote cultural diversity. What is most important of all that a citizen of the world is smart, intelligent, have progressive ideas, fun-loving, and aware of what is going on with the world. We all have ideas that will help America progress, but if we continue to look at the outside and be judgmental of people, the future of the United States will be in trouble. The United States won't get anywhere. As the United States of America, we all need to move forward, not backwards. Women, Minorities, Immigrants, Special Needs People, and LGBT please do something and find a cure for this cancer before it spreads and it's too late to fix it! Stand Up For Your Rights!
