Say Something About It...Do It...

    I was browsing through the news this afternoon and came across an interesting article on Politico.com. It takes a poll done by ABC/Washington Post and breaks down the percentage of Americans who agree with and oppose a path of citizenship for illegal immigrants, the legalization of marijuana and the legalization of gay marriage. The results are rather surprising.
    A whopping 57% of Americans believe in creating a pathway towards citizenship for illegal immigrants. It's almsot unbelievable. Over half of the United States is okay with the fact that there are thousands of illegal immigrants swarming into our country competing with American workers, plaguing our already damaged healthcare system, and having children like rabbits so they're allowed citizenship costing the American tax-payers thousands to raise these orphans. The thought alone of one person encouraging this solidifies my thoughts we're quickly doomed as a society. So instead of becoming more strict and enforcing the laws that have been in place for decades, we're going to give them a fast pass to American Citizenship? No, This isn't Disney, it doesn't work like that. They are criminals and deserve to be deported like them, not allowed to trickle into our society.
    I personally believe marijuana should be legal also. Is it a drug and does/will it hurt people? I'm sure. But alcohol has killed more young people then any other drug on the market combined, so that's an invalid argument. I just don't see how anyone can argue that it be illegal strictly from a health aspect when both tobacco and alcohol are legal. Also, is it really the governments job to tell the people which drugs they're allowed to use? No, Government has been overstepping it's boundaries for decades and it's on a steady hill up. Expect it to only get worse.
    I have very strong feelings against gay marriage from a traditional standpoint, and arguments always get much too heated for a night like this. I'm way to chill to get hot headed now.
 

Here's a link to the article. Read it. Check the source. Then come back. 

Comment, disagree with me, call me an asshole, i'm shaking from the anticipation. 

Do it.

The Begining of a Blog

I have had a rather interesting day so far. A little after midnight, I railed an addy and took a couple waterfalls. Somehow, the combination of both psychoactives and amphetamines caused me and my roommate to, of all things, to design and create a blog.

 The idea was simple, to create a one-stop news source for the college community based around the University of North Florida. We planned a twitter feed churning out links with short summaries, and full length opinion pieces every day.

 That was 7 hours ago. Now, after both me and my roommate worked nonstop all night long, I actually believe we created something workable here. Don't get me wrong, this blog is a piece of shit right now, but it has potential. I think. I mean, if a little bit of drugs and one night of work could produce this much, what do you suppose I could do with a month? And a whole LOT of drugs?

 And I think that's the key here. A little bit of elbow grease. If we can keep a steady pace of content flowing, we just might develop a following. A following could lead to ad revenue, and ad revenue could lead to a website.

 And so that's going to be the goal of this endeavor. If i can successfully turn this idea into a functioning website, then this has been a success. And hopefully, I can make some coin while I'm at it. Who knows? I might even end up as the next Mark Zuckerburg.

Or not. Probably not.
