I believe in the constitution people

It is really starting to get to me how often I hear the "catch Phrase" I believe in the constitution. Implying that because we have different views on things that I don’t believe in the constitution? Well I hate to break it to you, but the constitution is an interpretive document. Much like the bible it can be interpreted many different ways and your way isn’t necessarily any better or worse than mine just different. Another thing, this bumper sticker type rhetoric of "this is/isn't what the founding fathers would have wanted" is wearing thin. You didn’t know the founding fathers personally so you don’t know what they would or wouldn’t have wanted plus they differed greatly on the issues of their time but they worked together. I can say that our founding fathers where intelligent enough to realize that the issues that they faced would be different than the issues that we face now and different than the issues that will be faced 100 years from now. And in my opinion that’s why the constitution was written the way it was. As an interpretive document it can be interpreted to fit the situations faced at that time.

Today

My last 2 blogs where about stuff in the news. So I decided to change it a lil, and write about a thought I had today . As I was walking to my car after work I noticed someone parked right next to my car. I mean right next to my car. So close I almost had to climb through the passenger side. That really pissed me off. I was going to leave a note for them to tell them off. But then a thought hit me I don't know why they parked like that. for all I know they could have rushed there because a loved one was was sent there in a emergency or something. Sure they could have been a inconsiderate dick. But they just as easily could have rushed there cuz someone was dieing. And how bad would I feel if that was the case and here I am telling them off in a note. I know I probably would never see them but none the less in the afterlife if that was the case and I did that I'd feel terrible. So anyways I didn't leave a note I was able to get in my car. My thought for today is don't just jump to doing things put yourself in other peoples shoes and think what they might be going through before acting.

So called Pastor

I am amazed at the Huge contradiction that comes from a "pastor" in Florida, at the Dove world outreach center. He is organizing a protest of the 9-11 attacks by having a Quran burning. First of all it was a insane rouge fringe group hiding behind a religion  that carried out the attacks it was NOT Muslims. Kind of like how Nazi's hide behind Christianity. Just because Nazi's hide behind Christianity that doesn't mean that's how Christians are. In fact I, as a Christian would be very offended if I was put under that same classification as them. That is what this "Pastor" is doing though. Simply because this rouge group hides behind Islam he is grouping every Muslim together. That is misguided and bigoted of him and anyone who participates in that.I can't believe the audacity of him to call himself a pastor, someone who teaches the teachings of Jesus. That is not what Jesus would do.

Canyons School district

OK OK so I heard about the Canyons school district sending a letter to the parents of the students letting them know that President Obama is giving a talk to all students.On the letter is a option for the parents to opt their kids out of it........ Really People, come on why would you ban your kids from that.You know regardless of whether or not you agree with his policies you should respect the position that the man holds. And honestly how much "damage" do you think he can really do  to your kid in such a small amount of time. Why don't you people start acting like parents and talk with your kids. Use it as a opportunity to bond with them and to create an open dialog with them to teach them what your beliefs are. Rather than stopping  them from hearing from someone that has  different ideological values  from you. That's something that communists do!!!!! Whats really sad is not that the canyons school district sent that letter out, but that they felt like they had too. To cover themselves because of all the ridiculousness that went on last year because of the same thing. " ohh no he is going to indoctrinate my kids with his liberal agenda" Evan if that was his goal. If your kids are that easily brainwashed as to alter their philosophical ideas because of what someone said during at best a hour and a half message than you need to spend more time with your kids building mental strength.And you have much bigger problems on your hands..
