Love

It's not about whom you don't loathe kissing. It's not about whom you choose to take to your bed.
It's about whom you'd die for in an instant, whom you long to kiss, whom you care about like nothing else.
It's about who shows up in your dreams, who makes you happiest, who can't be hurt without hurting you.
It's about whose touch you crave, whose smile brings yours most easily, whose happiness means more than your own. It's about whose kiss makes you feel like falling, whose trust is most sacred, whose love is enough for you to live on.

As Shakespeare once said, "Love alters not when it altercation (fight) finds, or bends with the remover to remove. O no, it is an ever fixed mark, that looks on tempests, and is never shaken."
And,
"Love alters not with brief hours and weeks, but bears it out even to the edge of doom. If this be error and upon me proved, I never writ, no nor man ever loved."

Liberty and Justice for All?

Back in '09 a kid in Arkansas refused to pledge allegiance to the flag because we are not free. Read more. Why can't we all sit down? The Pledge of Allegiance is a serious thing. I've seen people giggle and fool around during it before.
Think about what you're saying. What's a pledge? A serious promise that you don't break. And 'allegiance'? Allegiance means you stand together.
"I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America".
I promise, and will never break this promise, that I will stand with the symbol of the United States of America.
"And to the republic for which it stands".
Self-explanatory.
And skipping to the end?
"With liberty and justice for all".
This is not true. We are not free. We are not treated justly.
What a day when the Pledge of Allegiance is announced and the silence brings down the house.
What a day when liberty and justice for all are once again granted and the people stand up to say it again.
