Current Event

"Obama Faces Questions on Federal Fight for Same Sex Marriage" is a recent article written and posted on ABC news.com. 

Focus Points:

1.) - Obama has not always believed in same sex marriage, he recently changed his position on the issue and said after time with his evolving viewpoints he now agrees with gay marriage. 
2.) - He took up the fight to repeal the Defense Of Marriage Act publicly.
3.) - Mitt Romney thinks we should put into place a constitutional amendment that bans same sex marriage.

Questions:

1.) Is Mitt Romney completely against the idea of gay marriage or is that what he thinks the strong conservative voters want to hear?
2.) Why did Obama not have an opinion on the issue? Is it okay with him acting like Switzerland considering its such a huge problem right now and so controversial?
3.) Should the president be portrayed as a super star on television shows or is that disrespecting his position of power?

Poem

Who Said That Love Was Fire?

Patience Worth

Who said that love was fire?
I know that love is ash.
It is the thing which remains
When the fire is spent,
The holy essence of experience.

GOOGLE

Google supposedly has the answers to everything.  It contains any information you could ever imagine, and provides pictures from all over the world.  But can it answer the simplest of questions? Why is life so hard? When you google that answer in the search bar Yahoo answers tries to make some sense out of this question, and articles are written trying to decipher the answer.  But there is no true answer, it's all just a matter of opinion.  This question confuses me, there is no real answer.  In my classes at school math makes the most sense to me because the answers are perfectly clear.  I guess that's just how my brain works.  "Life is like walking through paradise with peas in your shoes" -Charles Jerningham

What's beautiful?

The lakes in Wisconsin are absolutely breathtaking. In the winter and in the summer they sparkle with ice or water. It's a magical feeling to have the waves bouce you through the wind while you're sailing along. Being on the water in Wisconsin is a truly inspiring place that gives you hope that nothing could ever go wrong there, that there is no ugly in the world, that life really can be beautiful. Imagine being in the middle of the lake, arms spread laying on the front of the pontoon, at sunset on the forth of July. The fireworkds spread accross the sky is almost too good to be true. Imagine Christmas Eve spent warm in the snow, you feel in touch with the planets beauty. The moon is so bright against the snow it doesn't even feel like midnight. And to make the wonders of the lake even more meaningful, you notice that the person standing by your side soaking up every minute of it with you is the one you are in love with.
