...All we need is........

Thanks to Trent, I was reminded that today is world AIDS day. We must remember those who have lost their lives either battling the disease and those who tried to find a cure for it. Staying-alive is a great site with a lot of information and ways help in the fight against HIV/AIDS. And, Bristol-Myers Squibb is donating up to $100,000 to AIDS causes for every candle lit at lighttounite.com, and it's very easy to do, just find your continent and click. Everyone from liberals to conservatives and those in between...please realize that AIDS affects everyone. The virus does not single out any race, sexual orientation, religion or economic status. It is not who you are, but what you do that determines whether you can become infected with HIV/AIDS.


Looking back this year...it seems like the lows outweigh the highs. Many lives have been lost because of the natural disasters, terrorist bombings overseas, and of course, the War in Iraq. Then there's the state of the US government, Bush's approval ratings are so down i'm surprised they haven't made it into the negatives, the Democrats in congress grew balls, Republicans are being indicted or fired because of their shady dealings or leaks. Although a lot of Americans are divided, we're not going to have another Civil War. Sorry Michael Savage, James Dobson, Jerry Falwell, Pat Robertson, and Bill O'Reilly, the gays, lesbians, bisexuals, drag queens, trannies and the transgendered are here to stay. Besides, a Drag Queen could destroy Ann Coulter w/out even breaking a sweat or nail.


For 2006, let's make a deal. I will no longer dedicated entire entries to my Bennifer 2 hate, if all you haters of liberals, non-christians, and GLBT learn to be a bit more accepting and actually TRY to see things from their perspectives. If there's something that we all need this upcoming year and holiday season, it's love, tolerance and hopefully acceptance..yes, I'm including myself too. At the end of the day, we're all connected and if we don't start treating each other like human beings instead of mutants, we're going to be doomed. Oh we need to treat Mother Nature better, she has been kicking our asses this past year for good reason.


Much love,
Amaya
