Saw on a CNN report where they featured a survey which showed that more than half of the respondents said that they are more afraid of recession than another terror attack on U.S. soil. The report went on to say that most still consider terror attacks as still isolated cases. I find these interesting and at the same time it reflects what do we value most.

It shows we value more our families, that if recession comes full bloom, we won’t have enough money to support our families, that mortgage rates would sky-rocket and we won’t have a roof over our children’s heads.

But if the survey was done on a different country, for example, in Iraq,  I think people would fear terror attacks rather than recession.  Their economic state is something they don’t dwell upon for they live poorly compared to us here in America, their struggle to actually live another day is stronger than us.

Bottom line, it all comes down to where we live and the values we live for.

This is a momentous moment for the gay rights movement but how will the rest of America react. California is one of the biggest states in America and now has finalized that same sex couples can get married.

I have nothing against gay people but I distinctly remember a time where Bush strongly was against same sex marriage so much that he actually said that it is against God’s will. There is also no doubt that we will be hearing from Rosie O’ Donnell.

I also expect that although this issue has been around for some time there will be debates and discussions about this especially from our Presidential hopefuls. We will see how it turns out. Although Governor Schwarzenegger has also stated that he will not veto the decision, will he buckle under pressure if the pressure arises? We shall see…
