Why do your friends like you, and why do your enemies hate you?
Apparently, the reasons why my friends like me and my enemies hate me are the same.
I say what I mean and I tell the truth. I stand up for what I believe is right, even if it means standing up alone or against my friends. I think about the things I do or have done and am constantly reevaluating my ideas, goals, relationships, principles, etc. I hide nothing from anyone. I love, not in hopes of reciprocation, but because I think there's something special in everyone. There is no place for hate in my heart.
I'm not out to win people over anymore. I am what I am and that's all that I am.

Hating your president, while being important, can also be destructive. I hate Bush, but if I think about it to much I get all worked up and then can't manage to do anything. So I pretty much have to forget it as much as possible.
You look exactly like my first girlfriend, except you are a about 8 years younger it seemed like you had that who I-don't-like-boys-thing, but you have a husband who you are beneath? Maybe I misunderstood that post on your journal. I think marriage is a wonderful thing; if you are even and equal partners.
I too get worked up about our government and what bush has done to our country. But if I think about it it reminds me that its important for me to speak up about it and not ignore the fact that my daughter will grow up in a country in debt and chaos. It reminds me to do something with my life even if its only educating or debating a couple people a week. I know I am at least making a difference in someones life.
