Today I was very angered. A good friend of mine posted a blog showing disappointment in some things that President Obama has done in his first days in office. For this, he was attacked. I didn't realize that if we have a differing opinion it automatically makes us the enemy. When did that happen? Just because someone disagrees with you or says something you don't like does not make THEM wrong. Perhaps it is you that is wrong. Perhaps no one is wrong. That's why they call it an OPINION.
I was under the impression that this country was founded in part so that people could voice their opinion in an open way. Isn't that what freedom of speech is? Why is it wrong to say you don't like something?
People are calling for change in this country. Are we ready though? If things are to change, perhaps we should begin with ourselves.
