Ick. The weather is absolutely gross. Rain, freezing rain, sleet...temps aren't supposed to reach 30 for a few days, so things will stay glassy for quite a while. Classes were cancelled this afternoon, and I suppose it doesn't matter if they are for tomorrow or not since I don't have classes on Tuesdays.
On a lighter note, I've been designing monograms for my friend D's wedding. I made a first draft of six different designs, and we'll see what she thinks of them. I did some formal, some less so, some with names, some with initials...I was pretty proud of them.
C and I are currently in a debate over the so-called "nanny laws." Things like requiring a helmet be worn when riding a bicycle, or banning smoking in public places. He is staunchly against them on the grounds of preserving liberty and freedom of choice and minority rights. I am for them, particularly in the case of smoking bans, on the grounds of preserving public health and general well-being. The rest of it I could take or leave. Of course I wish people wouldn't overtake store windows with stickers and ads, and of course I think you should wear a helmet, but I couldn't care less if there's laws for or against it. Survival of the fittest, I say. I believe that C and I have agreed to disagree on this point, as both of us are unendingly stubborn. That will make for an interesting married life, eh?
What are some of your political pet peeves? Care to share?

My pet peeve with politics is them getting involved in marriage. It is something that has bothered me ever since the talk of banning gay marriage. I am not a gay rights activist or anything. I just don't think it is up to mankind to judge who should and shouldn't get married. For me, it is not right, but it is not up to me to make that decision for the rest of people. I also don't feel that it is up to a politician to decide this either.
That's a big ol' grey area for me too. While I am against gay marriage, and I don't think it should happen, I'm not sure it's the government's job to make that decision. It's a hard topic.
