Oh my.....what a soapbox we could get on this morning. Very interesting attitudes I see displayed this morning on the various social networks. When there's a world filled with despair, rage, self mutilation, recession, and just all around other bad stuff, the one thing we've always been able to depend on as a Nation is the freedoms we have. Now it's come to a time when friends slam friends and neighbors beat each other up for expressing their right to vote. Everyone has a right to their opinion and everyone has a right to express said opinion. No one is obligated to agree with said opinion, and SOMETIMES maybe even we choose the wrong forum to express our opinions in, but we SHOULD be courteous enough to respect others when their opinions are shared. What are we teaching our children and our children's children when we can't even be respectful enough not to slam others because they excercised their right to vote? At least they voted!!! Why can't we just put our energy into actually doing something about the issues we feel so passionate about instead of wasting time slamming others? Get a grip, people.....get off of your soapbox preaching how you are 'ashamed of [your] friends' or how you 'are ashamed' to live in one state or another. If you're so ashamed of your friends for voting the way they felt lead to vote, then they're not really your friends at all. Maybe you don't really understand what friendship is all about. Maybe you'd rather sit by your Facebook page and tell the world how ashamed you are rather than get out and work the streets and help the ones that you feel are being slammed by one amendment or another. Stop TALKING about it and actually DO SOMETHING about it!!! Word to the Wise......don't put your 'worldly' criticism out there unless you've done everything within your power and then some to better the world you live in.
