I can understand the sense of conservatism, but there are some people who are TOO conservative and they look at others thinking, "You should be just like me." That's where I draw the line. What's right for most is usually not right for me.  I'm WAY open-minded and I can say that I can see the sense of things that others would not only not be into, but some people would find shocking or down-right horrific (tattoos, piercings, S-M, B&D, Vampirism).  I'm not the kind of person that calls homosexuality a lifestyle, like it's a choice.  I believe in a woman's right to choose. I believe in an alternate religion than the general Judeo-Christianity and I think that those who think I'm a bad person for having more that one point of view in sight and to contemplate are the ones who aren't good for the evolution of our society.  I've long since come to grips with the fact that the Puritan roots and origins of this country run deep, but when it comes to freedom of choice (which actually isn't granted in the Constitution, it's an extension of the 1st Amendment and the freedom of speech), it's my choice, after all, isn't it?



Wow, did I say that?  Shocking what comes out when you start talking about your beliefs, huh?
