haha, nice.

I don't know about the growing up thing. I don't know anybody (obviously, and won't for a while) who was brought up by same sex parents, but hopefully by the time that happens society will be less....gay about it. It definitely brings a challenge to traditional roles but exactly like Ironic said...so have many things that are not a cultural norm...blacks as equals, women voting and working, premarital sex being a lot more prevalent...all of these things eventually phase out as our society becomes more advance. Even ten-twenty years ago, we already are looking back and seeing how intolerant society was of homosexuals back then. Now I see them all the time, I don't give a fuck, i don't think anybody else does either. Just more people.


Plus, how many times have any of us been embarrassed by our parents when we were in middle school/highschool anyways? It's a phase thing, and like I said, hopefully the world is more tolerant by then to not make such a big deal out of it. We can all agree we are influenced by our parents for a large portion of our growing life, but I don't think that applies to sexual preference, and I would say I am much more different than I am of my parents. Everybody is their own person.

Psychedelics are illegal not because a loving government is concerned that you may jump out of a third story window. Psychedelics are illegal because they dissolve opinion structures and culturally laid down models of behavior and information processing.
