I used to be more of a libertarian, but after reading books by Rabbis Schneerson and Boteach, and excerpts of Kaballah, I realize that sometimes the so-called alternative lifestyles are breaking down the marriage/family...like I stated in my other post ("conflicted feelings"), I don't care if gays live together and form civil contracts/unions, but why are they trying to redefine marriage. Enough is enough! Bush's defense of marriage is simply self-defense..even Howard Dean said let them have the civil contract, leave marriage out of it (Dean and Bush both had clear-cut positions, not sure what Kerry thinks at this point in time)..
Anyway, on a more personal note, due to these teachings and some other personal reflections/prayer, I am going to stop dating around and within a year I expect to be married and maybe have kids within a year after that...you heard it hear first, mark this day on your calendars cuz pretty soon there'll be blueaguave Jr or blueaguavettes in this world! (this is not a joke dudes!)..stay tuned!
