Really, America?

Alright I don't want to be like the stereotypical nineteen "left-winged" year old who bashes on the country. But there are seriously some things that this country is so fixated on that it just bothers me so much. And the funny thing is, that it's not about how we are addicted to oil or how all we do is eat all the time. Which I think is true, but that's not the case in which I'm about to rant about. With this being my first official blog, I think I'll discuss some of these subjects that burn me up most. 

Jesus. This country is in love with some Jesus. Right now I am surrounded by at least, lets see... Eight churches by my house. And that's not even going downtown. Why the hell is it so important? Religion is so ridiculous, I've tried to get into it for like sixteen years... And find myself just not being convinced by it. Why do we need to be so worried what happens to us when we die? Cant we just live the life we are in? And their are so many damn religions too, oh and they all think they're right too! I could do a whole post on this but I wont, I'll save it for another day. 

So with this whole economy crisis going on, something I've thought of... Besides Americans need to stop living off credit. Why hasn't marijuana been legalized yet? Now before you jump on the bandwagon and go for the whole "that's a drug" card. Let me just say this; It's a damn plant... that grows out of the ground. It grows sort of like a "weed" what do you know. Have you ever heard of someone over dosing on marijuana? No. Or have you heard of a 'stoned' driver killing anyone? No. But you'll hear all these stories about alcohol poisoning and drunk drivers killing people. If this plant was legalized just think about the cash flow that would come through this country... Honestly. It works in other countries, But it's like we are to afraid to see what society would be like if you could just light up in a coffee shop. Just think, People would be getting jobs all over the place if this plant became legal. Instead of all the crime that supposedly comes with it. 

I'll probably be writing about these two subjects at some point again.
