How come I am constantly getting bashed for being a vegetarian? I am more healthy than a LOT of people, and I am probably going to live a lot longer. "Well, God intended you to eat meat," I can interpret things how I want to right? I would hope that most people can think what they want and think for themselves in this "free country." Right? Hm. Well. That's just coming from a big arguement I had with a friend today, it was quite strange. But I hope there are a lot of people that read these blogs and are some what/mostly open minded. It just almost makes me sick how closed minded some people can be. Alright, I am sure you are sick of hearing about this, comments appreciated!

I have never been mora annoyed with a campaign than I have been this year. The gubernatorial candidates in Illinois have done nothing but bash each other and it's just like why vote for either one if all you can do is point out the negative in the other person, and say nothing as to how YOU might be qualified. If I were 18 by election day I would just write in the guy who has only posted ads on YouTube and MySpace because he seems to be the only one that is a little more sane that the other two candidates.

The FDA, in my opinion, should be able to regulate tobacco. I mean, how many stores have you been in that you don't notice the cigarette displays, or how about those cigar displays that are at children's eye levels? I mean seriously, how about making certain height requirements for those dosplays to be at? Or maybe even making it harder to buy and sell tobacco, period? There are 1200 people that die every day due to tobacco related illnesses, whether it be from smoking, or taking in the second hand smoke that their smoking friends and/or family produces. That fact should scare the FDA enough to take action of this subject, and hopefully will in the near future. I would love to hear feedback about this because a lot of my friends smoke, and unoftunately I have to smell it and breathe on an almost daily basis, which almost makes me sick. This entry may have sounded very girly and informal, but what's the fun of being formal, and normal sounding? Not much.
