Wow its been forever since i have written in here! Many things have changed over the past months including MY new president! thankfully this country has realized that it was indeed a time for change and a time for history to take its place. Over the past weeks i have had many discussions with these utah mormon republicans(who i may add have no idea why they are republicans) about the new things that MY president will bring about. It saddens me that many feel that the unfortunate should still continue to suffer because of the opportunites that they never had such as many of the people i have arugued with have had. One fellow said to me that in this country one can be anyone and anything he or she wants to if they work hard enough and that we all have the same opportunites. Ok lets see, his mother is a doctor, father a lawyer, and they both have gotten him everything he has wanted or needed and has no job while at BYU. So a kid growing up in the Cabrini Green projects has the same opportunities as him????? I BEG TO DIFFER!!! Im not going to type all the reasons why the unfortunate do not have the same opportunities because after having this discussion, people who think like this byu character need to open their minds and realize there is a place outside of utah called "the world." After this experience i told my friends, "I vow that i will never call this place my home." I dare not to raise my kids in an enviroment with such people who cannot open their minds and realize this country for the past 8 years has been digging its own grave and now with new hope and a new horizon in place, we all can rebuild and be proud to be americans. WHEW! Enough of that!
Donde esta la pachanga???

Well said my friend. I couldn't agree more. And I grew up in a trailer in the middle of nowhere raised by a coal miner and grocery store clerk with 4 kids. And my parents worked their asses off and no, opportunity never came knocking.
