==America==
==America==
To put it frankly, great place to be. In about 300 years we, as a nation, have accomplished as much (and more) as any other nation on Earth. Sadly, though, this includes crimes and injustices. For example, the Invasion of Iraq was wrong, Vietnam was a waste of everything, the Spanish-(Cuban-Filipino)American War was an imperialistic adventure, the internment of Japanese people in WWII was wrong, Guantanamo Bay is just an American gulag, and our government is in the pocket of lobbyists and corporations. On the good side though, everyone is free do what they please (as long as they don't infringe on others) and if something is unfair they have the right and ability to challenge it. Our founders were good and wise men (although they had their flaws [coughslavescough]) that created a government based on a document that could be interperted based on the times, a living document if you will. This is not to say that that document didn't have some parts that were written with the time period specifically in mind. Those parts were written as the situations they represented appeared as if they would be around forever (i.e. slavery, or the need for guns).

==[[Atheism]]==
I am an atheist. I have been looking into the subject more and more, and I have found out many things. For instance, the main purpose of having a god is to explain creation (or some other fact). Now bear with me, black holes are the only known entity that naturally (we do it unnaturally) that ''decreases'' entropy (all experiments point to a universe that tends to increase entropy). These black holes will continue to grow as they consume matter (and energy), eventually they will begin to swallow everything, and later, themselves. So, after an impossibly huge amount of time (in our sense) they black holes will condense into one singularity. This singularity, having reached critical mass (all of the mass conceivable), explodes, creating the Big Bang, thus starting the cycle. This has far reaching consquences including, the fact that the universe is infinite in time (it always has existed and always will) but finite in matter (the Laws of Thermodynamics remain constant, as there is no reason to change). If this universe is infinite in time, this must mean that God could have had no involvement in any of it.
