Hate and Bigotry

Lately I’ve had trouble thinking of a new video idea, writers block if you will. But then my husband read me an article from the Cape Cod times, and I knew I had to say something. We were both horrified by a few of the incidents that were cited... Second and third grade students chanting “Assassinate Obama?” People in Maine placing bets for a buck on the how and when Obama will be assassinated?

And this isn’t just an issue of racism I speak of. I’m also just as disappointed in the State of California. In this day and age how a majority of people, even if fueled by scare tactics and lies (please click here for a very enlightening video) could vote to take away the right for two consenting, loving adults to marry is truly beyond me – and reeks of people wanting to stick their nose in the private lives of others. Potentially nullify nearly 18,000 marriages!? I was very happy to hear that Governor Schwarzenegger is hopeful the California Supreme Court will overturn the Prop 8.

I was very fortunate to have loving and caring parents who taught me not only the difference between right and wrong, but the difference between love and hate. I embrace the differences between us. What a boring place it would be if we were all the same. And this is what I also pass on to my children in the hopes they’ll teach their children and so on. But unfortunately, hate is grown in the same fashion…
