Gay Marriage On or Off?
I believe that Proposition 8 is completely ridiculous. I do not understand how the California Government can give homosexuals the right to get married and then just take it all away from them in one day. I think that gay people have the same rights as anyone else and aren't we all equal under the law? There is always going to be a minority that does not get the same rights that everyone else has. First it was the native americans and blacks, then the women, and now the homosexuals. If we are supposed to be the land of the free we should give every person, man, woman, black, white, gay, straight, tall, short, the same rights as everyone else. I hope that the rest of the United States can come to realize that the people we deny those rights to aren't any different than you and me.

Diversity in the Supreme Court
Everyone talks about diversifying the Supreme Court and now the time has come. Souter is leaving soon and then that will leave the court with five Catholics and two Jews. This will be a seriously bias Supreme Court and hopefully Obama will do something about it. There are other ways for President Obama to make the current court, one of the most homogenous in history in terms of education and experience, look more like America. All of the Supreme Court Justices went to private colleges. Obama could nominate someone that graduated from a public school because 75% of citizens in the United States graduate from public institutions. I think that we need more diversity in the court. Possibly another black? Or maybe even a Hispanic? Knowing Obama he will try his hardest to diversify the Supreme Court but still pick a worthy candidate.

Twitter the Game Show?
I don't understand why Social Networking sites such as facebook, myspace, or twitter seem to be the end all be all of every teenager in the United States. Now they want to create a show that creates competitions to see who can use the computer better. Soon we won't even have any outdoor activities if this is what "reality" game shows are coming to. This basically shows how lazy America is getting. We have to find entertainment in watching people surf the internet and see who can do it the best. I really don't understand how this can be entertaining at all. Hopefully the producer of this show will realize that this show has no point and it doesn't actually take up a time slot on TV.
