God’s standards
“I have opponents in this race who do not want to change the Constitution, but I believe it’s a lot easier to change the Constitution than it would be to change the word of the living god. And that’s what we need to do – to amend the Constitution so it’s in God’s standards rather than try to change God’s standards so it lines up with some contemporary view.”
Mike Huckabee, Republican candidate for the 2008 United States presidential election.
What a douche.
P.S. Vote Obama, if you have a choice.

Drum’n'Bass Brasil – Vanessa da Mata – Nao Me Deixe Só (Deeplick & Ramilson Maia Remix)
If you want to listen to this great tune, all you have to do is open up a new Google page and start looking. I figured out it will be good practice, refining your searching skills, especially for something that matters. Amazing mix!

Your relationship status is not your identity.
If you are single and you like it, now is the time to affirm your choice. People who never marry or partner have close, loving, emotionally intimate relationships and lives worth living. Do not let a couple-driven culture define your choice as something wrong.
