Social Advancements: Gay Marriage And Recreational Use Of Marijuana!

Amazing social advancements occurred in yesterday’s election, and it will never be reversed, and will, instead spread rapidly nationwide!

Gay Marriage was approved by VOTERS in Maine and Maryland, and probably in Washington State, and Minnesota, while not allowing it , defeated a state constitutional amendment to ban it forever.

Also, Washington State and Colorado approved recreational use of marijuana in small amounts, if used at home, not in public places.

These are trends of the future, whether one likes it or not, as the point is that many people feel it is NONE of the government’s business to interfere with private life decisions!

One does not have to like the concept of gay marriage, but then many whites, particularly older ones, have a problem with racial intermarriage and integration, but the answer is “TOUGH”, as your dislike of change should not govern the lives of others! If you do not like interracial marriage or gay marriage, fine, don’t engage in it, but DO NOT use the argument of religion to interfere with others’ lives! This is a personal decision, not subject to religious viewpoints, and certainly, if churches or synagogues do not wish to engage in gay marriage ceremonies, that is their right!

As far as marijuana use for recreational purposes is concerned, this author has never smoked marijuana, but also has never smoked cigarettes nor has he ever been drunk from alcohol.

That is my personal choice, but since cigarettes and alcohol have been proved dangerous to one’s health a lot more than marijuana but are legal, there is no reason to arrest and imprison people for use of marijuana!

What liberals and progressives want is ECONOMIC regulation, not SOCIAL regulation, so kudos on the issues of gay marriage and recreational use of marijuana, and may it spread far and wide, and make the American people what they wish to be–free and in control of their own happiness!

    I couldn’t agree with you more professor! I also have never smoked anything and have personally only had enough drink to fill maybe a tall glass lol. Just turned 21 though. But I also don’t think our money should go to combatting a drug that is not even harmful on the scale of cig’s are.

    I am extremely proud today after the events of last night! 3 States one of which Maryland was the state I spent my first years of life in, has done a good and just thing. The first openly gay Senator has been elected. America sent a message that you can’t buy the Presidency with lies and deceit. The election was decisive and Mitt Romney actually did the right thing and went out like a class act. Personally in my eyes he regained some semblance of respect for how he handled his defeat.

    I am especially proud that it looks to be the case that Florida went to Obama. Proud that we retained a Democrat as our Senator or he might have been an incumbent the specifics in that area escape me at the moment. We replaced two republican congressmen if I recall correctly with democrats. Last I checked we have said no to several very disturbing amendment proposals. All in all this being my first experience voting I felt my vote really mattered, and it has only increased my interest in politics.

    Your sentiments are shared, Ali, and Nelson was a Democratic incumbent for the Senate, and a good man!

    And yes, Romney went out as a class act. I just wish he had run his campaign in the same way!
