You are all incredibly lucky

To be reading such a cool blog.

I have checked out other blogs and found they are not worth reading. A few reasons:
-spelling mistakes
-not updated regularly
-in a language you can't understand

I take pride that this blog is always published in 100% American English, the standard language throughout the world (isn't it)? You will, of course, never find me sympathizing with any Republican causes. I am in favor of woman's rights. Gay marriage. Teaching sex education in schools. I am in favor of a powerful, central government. I feel, to quote JFK, "Our problems are man-made, therefore they may be solved by man. And man can be as big as he wants. No problem of human destiny is beyond human beings."

People can't always lift themselves up on their own. People need more than just a few extra dollars in their pocket every week via tax cuts. They need a government where no one is left behind. Just take a look at New Orleans. Less than 10% of the city remains in terms of population. The entire city is completely devastated. It's been three months and people have yet to return and see what little of a life they have left. Thousands of people are going to be defaulting on their mortgages declaring bankruptcy. Many will kill themselves to escape this harsh reality. It doesn't have to be this way. It seems that the deficit can be exploded for anything but actually helping people. Since when did the US have a doctrine against human rights, especially one against their own citizens?

I don't know what it is like to have nothing. I pray that the will to live is enough motivation to hang on when it appears all hope is lost.
