Living the Life Abundant |
I'm a thinker. An overthinker. I'm passionate and compassionate. I am both incredibly mired and inspired by this world of ours. I love the Earth and it's People, though not the textbook by the same name. I am blessed with the heavy burden of empathy and I'm learning to travel with it. These are my musings, insights, and compilations of other people who said it better on depression, life, love, humor and what it means to "do good". |

good:
If you’ve been on the internet in the last two days, you may be aware that many people aren’t too happy about North Carolina voters’ decision to approve a constitutional amendment that strengthens the state’s existing ban on gay marriage. And true to internet form, that sentiment resulted in plenty of memes, quotes, tweets, and GIFs.
Above is one form of expression we see all too often: the old image comparison, juxtaposing how it was then to how it is now and dismissing all the time in between as irrelevant. Then. Now. Bad. Still bad.
These particular photos compare a decades-old protest against interracial marriages at the North Carolina state capitol with a days-old demonstration (I assume, anyway; one problem with these image mashups is that you lose the information about each photo) against same-sex ones in the same spot. But the general theme is not new: Every time a case of social injustice bubbles up in the internet age, we find ourselves making these comparisons. Comb the archives of news sites, then attach that archived image to the contemporary one. The message is one of two things: Either things are wildly different—worse, that is—than they used to be, or they are just as terrible as they were. In either situation, the underlying point is the same: We really fucked up, and it’s simple to see how and why.

A new Gallup poll shows sentiment on the legality of same-sex marriage is close, with 50% of people surveyed in favor of the law recognizing same-sex marriages as valid, while 48% of those surveyed think it should not be valid.
The poll shows, politically, the most support for same-sex marriage comes from those who identify as Democrats. Most who identify as Republicans came out in opposition to same-sex marriage. [REUTERS]
