Will our country change because we have an African American president in eighteen days? We want our economy to change and get better but can we really continue to grow as a country? I mean we took a step back in terms of gay rights. Now, even gay couples in California cannot get married even though they had just a few months before been allowed to marry. Even Ellen Degeneres got married when it was legal in California. She seemed very happy as did Portia De Rossi, her wife. We grew because we did elect an African American man our president but we also denied rights to other people. I never understood why people were against gay couples getting married. I mean if you are not gay why would you care if they got married. People bring up the moral issue but heterosexual people do drugs, lie, cheat, and steal and these things are not moral. Why deny someone the right to marry? What is gained there? Hopefully, we can all treat each other better. We need the crime rate to go down and we need people to be less afraid, all you see on the news is scary stories.
