No Such Thing as Reverse Discrimination

Today I was listening to the morning radio show on my way to work. They started discussing some election stuff like everyone now that the primaries are happening. They started talking about Clinton and Obama. Now being a registered republican in Albany New York I can only vote in the Republican Primaries. It really doesn't matter because I am probably going to write in my vote. Anyway this radio station mentioned the words reverse discrimination. These words, when put together drive me crazy. I am a middle class white male in my thirties, I have not been reverse discriminated against, I have been discriminated against. There is no such thing as reverse discrimination, discrimination is horrible who ever you are. This was brought up because they were talking about black votes are going to Obama and woman and idiots are voting for Bill's wife. Election time brings out the idiots of all kinds. I for one would love to see a Black Woman in Office. I have no issues voting for a person that has views closer to me than anyone else. If I stood up and said I am not voting for Obama because he is black, then I am a racist. If a black man stands up and says he is voting for Obama because he is Black he is patted on the back. I was actually talking to a friend of mine and a coworker the other day who are both Black. My friend said he was going to vote for McCain. The Coworker actually got pissed at my friend because he is not voting for the Black person that is running. Am I horrible because I will never vote for McCain, I am a Veteran and so is he. I am not voting for "my kind" Who is a Black woman suppose to vote for? Does she turn her back on her race or gender? Vote for those you agree on and leave the skin tone and gender out of it.

Need to Vent

I know I have a Legalization of Marijuana blog and I should posting this on there but I try to keep those posts fact based. This is fact based but it just makes me so pissed off that I need to Vent. I am a New York resident, The Medical Marijuana Bill has passed the Assembly and is going infront of the State Senate. That is great and I am glad it is being voted on. I understand there are people that do not agree with my stance on the issue and I don't vote for them. The problem I am having now is after I just read an article about the debate. They can debate all they want I have no problem with that. The problem I have the article says, "a laundry list of New York medical associations have signed off on a proposed legalization bill headed for the State Senate, including the Medical Society of the State of New York, the New York State Nurses Association and the New York State Association of County Health Officials." Why can the Government tell me as a Patient that they know more than these Medical Associations? My district Senator does not have a medical degree. I can not understand why it should even be voted on. If the Medical Associations say it will help and be more of a benefit to the patients then why can the government have a say? These People PISS ME OFF!!! (believe me when I am debating this in front of people I can keep my cool)
