How come so few Americans see it this way?

San Francisco becomes "city # 3"

In a bold move by the city of San Francisco, voters went to the polls to vote on 2 key issues:

1. Ban handguns in the city; including concealed handguns, even handguns kept inside homes.
2. Ban military recruiters from public schools throughout the city; dubbed: "college not combat"

Both issues on the ballot passed without question, making San Francisco the 3rd city in the US to ban handguns within city limits, only the cities of Washington and Chicago have done this. The new ban requires that all city residents surrender thier guns by April of 2006. Of course the NRA has some choice words for the new law but then again who would be afraid to speak out with a military assortment of weapons such as this paranoid group of Republicans? The ban on military recruiters is also a great move, I remember when I was in highschool my senior year, I couldnt even walk to the vending machine without having to get around the ROTC table first, that alone was annoying as hell, but to hear these guys attempt to cram thier promises of paid college and 20 year retirement down my throat and the throats of others was far more bullshit than I had bargained for after already having been in school all day long. Dont get me wrong, I respect all the soldiers in the military for thier courage and dedication because nothing is gauranteed, but when you try to force your views on me to simply meet a week end quota for the government, thats not going to work. So if it isnt clear to you yet, I completly support the banning of recruiters in schools. I was far more focused on graduating than I was enlisting in a military thats being run by a president I didnt even vote for. Too bad JFK or Carter, even Clinton isnt our Commander in Chief, those are the guys id have enlisted under. Why can't I live in a blue state? ~ds~

Amongst other things

So in between writing an album and keeping up with politics these days, it leaves me with no time for anything else. Yes i still disagree with the war in iraq, yes i still get a laugh over that waste of ti...harriet meier, and god i cant wait until the whole entire republican party thats sitting on top of thier oil drums, crashes and burns amongst themselves all as a result of lying to America. Despite political affiliation, and no matter who you voted for, do you think its too much to ask of our president to, lets say....tell the truth, hire people who will, or even get a clue as to whats going on and take reasonable action? I was gone for a month, and in that time, ive seen at least 3 republicans in trouble with the law, the republican party waste more time on harriet meier than trying to make up an excuse to justify it all, and presidential polls plummet to the floor. Waaaaaaaaaaaake me up in November 2008. ~ds~
