Wedding Fever

BYU has it.
Typically, if you don't have a bf or gf by this point in the semester, plan on being single for the rest of the semester.  Get over it!  Seriously, I decided to count yesterday how many times I heard the word marriage, engaged, or phrases such as "so...are you dating anyone?" "DO YOU WANT TO SEE MY RING????" In just 1 minute, I heard over 20 such conversations.  Really???  What if we were putting that much emphasis on being a kind, Christ-like person?  What if we spent all the time worrying that we were never going to find that special someone into service hours or temple work?  There are sooo many better things to be fussing over.  I think that the people that ARE putting their time into productive things are the ones that content with their dating life.  Don't get me wrong, I think that marriage is a wonderful thing, I am just sick and tired of weddings!

Did you know that it is very good politics for when a President is under fire, racial issues tend to arise to move attention away from the real problems at stake.  For example, Andrew Jackson had the Nullification Crisis, which was quickly followed by the Trail of Tears.  Does this not seem to bother anyone else?  Like seriously?  Yes, Immigration is an issue.  A state issue.  Yes, the 9/11 mosque issue is an issue. Is this more important than the fact the China is legitimately upset with us as a nation because some extremely intelligent people keep spending more money that they don't have to get us out of debt?  Is this more important than the fact the our entire legal system is completely whacked?  Checks and balances frankly don't exist anymore?  Exhibit A: California's ruling on Gay Marriage.  I don't care if you are for or against gay marriage, let's not get started on that hateful debate but you should be concerned that the way that that was passed is NOT the way that this country was set up.  The voice of the people should not be able to be overturned by one court ruling.  Can you spell UNCONSTITUTIONAL?
