human is human, ...wow. this really made me laugh. <br /><br />human is human, though, and humans look toward the aesthetically pleasing. i would have looked, too. i might even have been jealous. :)Shawnahttp://www.thedaysarepacked.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8164220375200882525.post-10580290147045800362009-07-11T13:34:36.567-05:002009-07-11T13:34:36.567-05:00@Lydia:
Thanks for writing about your t-shirt expe...@Lydia:<br />Thanks for writing about your t-shirt experience. That just made me smile. I'm with you on how proud I am to have Barack as President, especially with the chucklehead we had before. Despite finicky poll numbers (which were going up and down during the campaign as well) people get that this is a guy who is trying his best to get America back on his feet. They might not agree with his tactics, but it's a small minority that think he is not trying his best (which is much more than most mortal men or women). I'm with you: Hells yeah!<br /><br />@ Jackson<br />Yeah, I don't think you can really get on him for looking, especially when it's debatable (you know what side I'm on) whether or not he did look. <br />The only reason this is an issue is the way that we think about looking. Looking is simply a method by which your brain uses it's ocular senses to observe the world around it. It's also an expression of interest in the subject that is being observed, and I guess that's where people try to make all kinds of assumptions. If you show interest in something than it's assumed that you are contemplating some kind of action as a result of this interest (read: you're looking at the booty because you want to touch the booty), but that's a slippery slope. With the way technology is advancing to the point where they can use a computer to "read" your thoughts, the question becomes how much should we be accountable for our thoughts? Google searches have been used in court cases to establish intent to commit a crime, so you can see the problems this might cause. <br />Besides, like you said, if you can get in trouble just for looking, we all (females included) are going down.Abdel Shakurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04245104256959807029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8164220375200882525.post-21447658792943946992009-07-10T21:51:47.848-05:002009-07-10T21:51:47.848-05:00you got to keep lifting us up by our bootstraps

Any guy who outright criticizes this incident is being outright hypocritical. :-)Jackson Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18141532542386300417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8164220375200882525.post-32196373189249049772009-07-10T19:40:26.869-05:002009-07-10T19:40:26.869-05:00Several times a day, I walk past the head honcho o...Several times a day, I walk past the head honcho of the mail room at the library. Four of five days, he's wearing an Obama shirt. I smile every time. (And I'm a little jealous because he has the light brown shirt with Obama's head in darker brown in the center, that I think could be bought from the campaign's website. I wanted that shirt but never bought it. So I'm a little jealous when I see him wearing it.)<br /><br />I was passing by a television tuned to a 24 hour news network, and the story was about the greeting Obama received in Ghana. One million people expected to line the streets to try to see him. Damn!<br /><br />I still get excited when I see him shaking hands with dignitaries or signing a document. This is our president, I think. Hells yeah. Ours.<br /><br />And if the man wants to glimpse a fine ass, the man can glimpse a fine ass. At least he doesn't look like he's about to have a heart attack over it like the guy standing next to Sarkozy in the second picture.<br /><br />...just sayin'...Lydia (from IU English)noreply@blogger.com
