A Family And...Whoops, I Got Serious

Regardless of who you voted for this past week, I think the one thing we can all agree on is this: THANK GOD that election is over! Coming from a person whose main hobby is snark, if I saw one more freaking snarky political TV commercial I was going to lose it.  And if you contributed any money to the campaigns of either of the candidates, you ought to be pissed. I think 2/3 of their money went into sending mail to Ohioans...and every piece I got from both sides went straight from my mailbox to my trash can. Valuable lesson of the day: There are useful, productive ways to spend your money and giving it to politicians is not one of them.

Anyway...as the proud "straight wife" (as he calls me) to my own "gay husband", I like that at the end of the day, these guys have the freedom to put a gay sticker family on their car, just the same as I have the freedom to blog about it, and you have the freedom to think whatever you want about it, as well.

Here's the great thing about America: Your right to dislike this sticker family can coexist with their right to have it. The fact that everyone is different is what makes us awesome.

So rather than hating or loving this sticker family, let's all just take one second and be happy that we all have freedom to think, write, say and do what we want. When it's all said and done, America is a badass place to live. There are civil ways to disagree about stuff without all the hate; you can believe your thing without disrespecting someone else's thing.  The louder you shout, the less people hear you.  Second valuable lesson of the day: History clearly shows us that anger fixes nothing, but everyone doing their part to look past differences and work together is a solid start.

Whoops...I just got serious. Eeeeek! Sorry, back to being snarky.
