Relapse

Today I have relapsed and I feel bad about it. I need to do my best.

Thanks

I am thankful to GOD for every instant of my life and know that I can better for Him.

Sorry

I've made a hard time for myself, but I hope to get better. I just need to put myself with GOD.

What Is This?

It is difficult for me to believe that my life is what it is. Nevertheless, I understand that not only is it GOD's choice if I will travel through time, but it is also GOD's choice to when I will travel through time. In my previous post, I discussed one event a few weeks before college, but I can think of many other incidents which would be good.

Time Travel

My life just seems silly. GOD has the power to let me travel through time, and I will do so if HE wants it. There is one date, several weeks before I started college, when I believe that my life started to become just silly. If I could awake back then, then I would be a great person. If GOD does not want that, then I will do my best here and now.

Liberalism and Political Correctness

Liberalism is basically the idea that human society is better when people have more liberty to do what they want without the interference of the government, of other institutions, of individual people, or even of nature.
Political correctness is basically the idea that human society is better when all people have the same ability to do what they want as a way of celebrating people having more liberty to do what they want. It is inside-out liberalism. Liberalism limits people's liberty, but it is with the goal of improving liberty for other people. Political correctness limits liberty because some people do not want other people to have what they do not have. Political correctness and liberalism blend together on class politics and ethnic politics, but in sexual politics political correctness has overwhelmed liberalism. I thought the Tyler Clementi- Dharun Ravi thing was weird. Tyler Clementi asked Ravi to leave the room, where Ravi had a right to be, so that Clementi could have sex with a men many years older whom he had met on-line. Ravi's reaction was very immature, but I think he was entirely within his rights to resent this intrusion on his liberty to stay in his room. More significantly, I was surprised at the wrath and lust for vengeance thrown at him because Tyler Clementi, in his mental weakness if not actual mental disability, eventually chose to jump off a bridge afterwards, resulting in his death. On the other hand, I do understand the plausibility of Ravi's video-ing (and attempted second video-ing after Clementi asked for a second time) being a (distant) cause to Clementi's death, and I do not approve of people dying before their time, so I can accept many of the reasons behind the anger against Ravi.
The Chick-Fil-A controversy, on the other hand, seems almost insane to me. Why would there be an organized boycott of a business because of the personal opinions of its leaders? I understand not eating there personally because you do not want to enrich those leaders, but an organized boycott on the basis of personal opinions seems to be motivated more by a desire to punish people for thinking differently than you than to support people who think or are like you as a way of expanding human liberty. It is "heavy-handed" and close-minded to the idea that you can benefit from people who think differently from you. Furthermore, I understand how support for same-sex marriage is related to expanding liberty, but I think it is indirect. A government that does not recognize same-sex marriage does not automatically oppress people for practicing homosexual acts. Instead, it does not extend the same legal privileges to their relationships which happen to be incapable of the natural generation of children, to opposite sex relationships, some of which can and do generate children naturally.
I have learned that I have been denied a job moving boxes in a warehouse. My resume does not indicate a lot of especially relevant experience, but I am English-literate, numerate, moral, and fit enough for physical labor, if not to win gold medals at the Olympics.

Family Research Council

I do not approve of the apparently non-fatal shooting recently at the offices of the Family Research Council in Washington, DC. I am uninterested in whether or not the Southern Poverty Law Center, an organization whose abbreviated name SPLC was probably chosen to encourage confusion with the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, the organization with which Martin Luther King, Jr. was famously associated, but I will say that this seems to be an attack that was caused by the political beliefs of the perpetrator. I still consider the right-wing to be more dangerous and violent, but there is a clear strain of intolerance among liberals, especially on the issue of gay rights. It is not enough to say that you are "intolerant of intolerance," and so on the whole you support more tolerance, when so much of gay rights activism is yelling at people because of their personal beliefs, behavior and speech about issues which I believe deeply are different from issues of ethnic prejudice. I do not want to go into it in too much detail now, and I do want to travel through time to be a better person, but whatever.
