Exhausted and Excited November 3, 2009
This week has been so tiring, well, mostly it’s the swimming that has been tiring me out. Right now I’m listening to Church of Debra, Madge and Cheryl recommended her, so Wynaut. Today in Government class we had a mock Congress. For this Congress every person in the class wrote a bill, then they were put through committees and then the class debated and voted over a few bills. I was one of few that had their bill read to the class and it was passed! I had to present my bill, defend it and answer questions regarding its workings.
So what was my bill about?
My bill’s function was to prevent Don’t Ask Don’t Tell from being repealed as long as LGBT people do not have total equality in this country, which confused the class at first. They thought my bill was written to grant equality, however, it only keeps Don’t Ask Don’t Tell from being repealed as long as certain conditions are met.
Of course this bill is very discriminatory as it helps preserve the discriminatory policies in the military, however, in the case of a draft, all gay people would essentially be safe from a draft. You just gotta say, “I suck cock!” and you’re good. The main reason I had this idea was of the reports of President Obama wanting to repeal Don’t Ask Don’t Tell, which I feel helps protect gay people from the military, especially in the face of a military draft. If this country won’t grant us equal rights, why should we fight for it? Of course, there are several gay men and women serving in our military, which is great, however, that is their choice. If they want to serve, let them, but if I don’t want to serve, I should not be forced to, especially because I’m gay.
Well, my bill is mostly on the hypothetical side and would only really work under the extreme circumstance that a military draft is called, but it was a small class project, which I probably got a good grade on! YAY!
So today’s episode of Vogus had been posted, it’s my Eulogy from English. It’s really fun, I recommend you watch it as it really shows what I ideally aspire to be as well as present the people I have been influenced by, which happen to be mostly podcasters.
If you made it this far, thank you. I’m sorry I ramble a bit, but I’m listening to things while I write this.
BTW I shall be in Columbus, Ohio on Sunday and Monday to visit the school! It should be incredibly exciting as OSU is my first choice school, but if I don’t get in, I can always go to school in Hawaii, or maybe Queens. What a massive decision I have to make in a few months, which I shall of course keep you updated on!
Thanks, BYE!
