to be an american

this is pretty good...all the candidates are interesting in their own behalfs... i heard huckabee talk about religion/the bible and was pretty supportive of what he said (what!! a black person actually agreeing with a republican?!?!?!)

but no really, this weekend, its all about catching up on politics for me. its like sports - their is already this HUGE following, and its daunting to try to jump into the mix - there is so much i have to learn, so many things that are just unspoken, assumed knowledge...

but hey, i like challenges.

where are we going? i mean, as a country? what matters to us? can their even be an us with so much .... freedom? so much ... diversity? or is belief in that what binds us together?

how do you balance those things - i love my freedom, and my choice, and diversity - but what unites me with someone in this country whose values are completely different, albeit allowed because i believe that everyone has a right to believe in what they believe, then my own, other than this superficial belief in "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness"?

who has the right to police morals? values? belief?
