1. Being gay is not natural. Real Americans always reject unnatural things like eyeglasses, polyester, and air conditioning. 2. Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that hanging around tall people will make you tall. 3. Legalizing gay marriage will open the door to all kinds of crazy behavior. People may even wish to marry their pets because a dog has legal standing and can sign a marriage contract. 4. Straight marriage has been around a long time and hasn't changed at all; women are still property, blacks still can't marry whites, and divorce is still illegal. 5. Straight marriage will be less meaningful if gay marriage were allowed; the sanctity of Britany Spears' 55-hour just-for-fun marriage would be destroyed. 6. Straight marriages are valid because they produce children. Gay couples, infertile couples, and old people shouldn't be allowed to marry because our orphanages aren't full yet, and the world needs more children. 7. Obviously gay parents will raise gay children, since straight parents only raise straight children. 8. Gay marriage is not supported by religion. In a theocracy like ours, the values of one religion are imposed on the entire country. That's why we have only one religion in America. 9. Children can never succeed without a male and a female role model at home. That's why we as a society expressly forbid single parents to raise children. 10. Gay marriage will change the foundation of society; we could never adapt to new social norms. Just like we haven't adapted to cars, the service-sector economy, or longer life spans.

( Read more... )Archaeologists can trace early man in Peoria as far back as 10,000 B.C.E. Artifacts and burial mounds yield evidence of a Native American civilization that was highly organized, ritualistic, and in harmony with nature. By 1650, the Illini Indians, a part of the Algonquin Nation, populated the area. The major tribes of the Illinois Confederacy were the Peoria, Kaskaskia, Michigamea, Cahokia, and Tamaroa.
The Peoria (through French Peouarea, from Peoria Piwarea, 'he comes carrying a pack on his back': a personal name) were one of the principal tribes of the Illinois confederacy
1825 The county was organized and the village name was officially changed from Fort Clark to Peoria. Until 1831 when Cook County was formed, Chicago was part of Peoria County.
Besides being a prominent stop on the Vaudeville tour, Peoria was known as a wide-open town of liquor, prostitution, gambling, and corruption. Because of its proximity to river transportation and access to corn for grain-alcohol, Peoria was one of the largest manufacturers of liquor in the United States. Many of the mansions that remain on High Street and Moss Avenue are a direct result of the Peoria Whiskey Baron era.
October 16, 1854 - Abraham Lincoln first publicized his stand that the United States should move towards restricting and eventually eliminating slavery, a position directly against historic compromises such as the Kansas-Nebraska Act. The speech, which was possibly similar to one given in Springfield, Illinois, 12 days earlier, followed the speech of Stephen A. Douglas, whom Lincoln would later debate regularly in the Lincoln-Douglas Debates of 1858.
April 15, 1926 - Charles Lindbergh's first air mail route, Contract Air Mail route #2, began running mail from Chicago to Peoria to Springfield to St. Louis and back.[2] Local legend purports that Lindbergh offered Peoria the chance to sponsor his trans-Atlantic flight but refused. The plane would have been called the "Spirit of Peoria"
Theodore Roosevelt named Grand View Drive, a street on the bluffs overlooking the Illinois River "the world's most beautiful drive." The Peoria radio station and CBS television affiliate WMBD attached the description to its call sign.

no one reads you. but that's okay. u hold a special place in the hearts of pre-myspacers. u know the ones...the countless teens who absorbed the drama/gossip/and latest trends from your predecessors--xanga, ujournal, that other one which no one remembers the name of. oops i did it. i ended a sentence with a preposition. mr fay would have a harangue over such an incompetent act.
i totally forgot HWAT i was writing about. maybe that's why lj failed (compared to myspace and youtube). the fact that our generation can't write a literary thought. we can take a picture, photoshop it in some obscure filter and then post it photobucket or myspace...but a rational, structured thought goes by the waste-side. i read today that parents spend 500% (inflation considered!) more on their children this generation compared to the last. im thinking to myself...wtf did my mom get for christmas...torn bits of string manifested in some kind of sorry excuse for a doll named "susy-lu"?
oh well, social progress is probably what's most important. hell, let's elect a black man or 'puppet' woman as president and call it OUR contribution to the liberal arts. might just make us feel better. i do think the idea of a presidential address from an animated chipmunk version of george bush doesn't seem like such a bad idea afterall. atleast we'd be stretched to hear what he'd say when you speed it up to resemble alvin, and a white house press conference might sound more like a chipmunk holiday special. afterall, that's all i see now when i look at "W" anyway. people might take offense to making condoleezza a grey squirrell though. oh well, being offended is all a part of a free society encouraging free speech. now we just have to encourage the world that free speech is extended to copyrighted videos on youtube. thanks lj. you're a great listener. peace.

You scored as Kyle Broflovski. You're Kyle Broflovski! You are firm in your religion, but when things go wrong you question it greatly and wonder if it exists. You believe in others easily, and maybe even have an imaginary friend or two. You're often at the end of a joke because of something about you. You are defensive and have something to say whenever someone says something mean to you. You bastards!
so, when i first moved to chicago i knew i'd be going alone. i knew it'd be me. sure i had friends here...i had my dad here, but it wasn't the same. it wasn't home. for one, the person i was closest to...the person i loved and i weren't getting along. i felt so alone...which in its own right may have been a good thing, cause it allowed me to funnel my energy on school and work...and i did well at those, but it wasn't happy.
i'm proud to say that i'm happy now, and i'm HOME now. i have new friends now, AND i have my old friends now. i'm so excited about this year. Mariel, undoubtedly my best friend, is planning on coming up here just about every weekend...to visit me and her new girl, diva, who i also adore. aaren seems willing for a chicago adventure too. cali and jon are moving up here in the summer.
this is so fucking exciting...just dreaming of the summer. it's entirely possible that i could import a good portion of my friends from Peoria to live up here, or stay up here over a period of time. like we could get a house together and raise hippie colony children with just love, chips&salsa, and the gee-tar and i would be in eternal ecstacy.
i love you guys...let's have fun...let's have responsibilities...let's have drugs...let's have peace...let's HAVE IT ALL.
...wait a second...i dont even believe in time...why am i worrying.
"foxy methoxy and fiscerspooner at deja vu" --if any of those words mean anything to you then you are cool, or just on drugs...sometimes it's a thin line.
