Informed people are right.

Hiya. This is Drucker. I think that, although the election is obviously over, and has been for a good month or so now, that politics should still be talked about. I really like that, how on election years, there is a sudden jump in political interest. This is for, well, obvious reasons. Still, I think most people should stay informed throughout all year, every year. This isn't going to happen.

You see, I am a liberal, democrat, whateveryawannacallit. So is the rest of this site. Now, Adar Weinreb (www.weinrebsway.com) is the exact opposite, a raving conservative, republican, whatever. Still, I have to listen to what he says. Why? Because he actually knows a small bit of what he's talking about. Now the opposite of him, those that are uninformed, are the ones who say things like, "Abortion is murdering babies!" and, "Stem cells come from dead babies!" Obviously, those people have dead baby fetishes. Anyway, they are wrong. If they, the uninformed conservatives, would listen for a small minute, maybe they'd be listen to reason. This reason would be that their morals should not immediately be the morals of an entire country. This is especially true for a government founded on a separation of church and state. Bringing morals from religion into a government is usually not a good idea. But, that's exactly what has happened. What is the main argument for the conservative against gay marriage? "It is a sacred institution!" or, "It's just not right." If something is sacred, then it is about religion. If something is right or wrong, it is about personal beliefs and morals. Neither of these should be brought into a government, if it has any intelligence.
