Blogging on Meds

Lake Forest (used to be called El Toro), in Orange County, California is the town where I grew up and will mainly call “home.” It’s also the town where mega church, Saddleback Church is located and on Saturday of this previous weekend, the Neo-Billy Graham-ish pastor Rick Warren hosted both John McCain and Barack Obama for discussion over many topics - including poverty, AIDS, human rights and climate change - all good issues right? Well Rick Warren holds LOTS of influence with a 23,000 member strong church. Technically he isn’t endorsing either of the candidates but if I had to put my money down, I’d assume the white, wealthy, Christian would vote for McCain. Anyways, someone dear to me, a family member - my Step Father, Steve Davidson, went for a bike ride and headed over to the church to see what all the hubbub and confusion was about and ended up taking some pictures of the protests. Nothing major, but just a nice collection of pictures from what I consider California’s Bible Belt, aka South Orange County. I’m happy to see that not all Orange County folk aren’t all for the right winged, anti-compassionate, anti-progressive, homophobic frat war mentality - just most of them are…

I’m aint mad at Orange County.

Gross.
