Lottery Amendment

I'd probably add an amendment that protects the free rights of the internet. For years, the internet has been a place for the freedom of speech without fear of retribution and I'd like to keep it like that. Some people within the government have been trying to find ways to strike down the pirates (someone who illegally seeds and leeches software, movies, games, etc.) online. However, the bills that were proposed were so vague on what pirating was that it would actually cut down a majority of innocent sites and users. It's for the purpose of stopping these attempts to censor the internet that I would propose an amendment that would give the internet the freedom of being managed and regulated by the users of the world rather than a few government officials. Pirates will always find ways to perform their duties no matter what stands in their way, and the internet is doing great without government regulation, so why not keep it like that?

Belief

Prepare for a jumbled mess of thoughts.

I honestly don't wish I could believe in anything I don't believe in now. When I did believe in whatever it was I believed in, I guess I could say that there was some comfort in it, but not now. To put it simply, there's a reason why I don't believe in it now. If anything else, I don't really care whether or not I believe in anything right now - just believing in something without any backbone to the belief isn't very wise, nor is it worth any significant amount of time. Just believing in something won't make much of a difference unless you act upon that belief (which most people don't do).

Internal vs. External Appearance: Do the two relate?

Stated differently: Does someone's personality relate to their external appearance? I feel that personality has nothing to do with external appearance besides a little bit of influence and that any relations are purely coincidence. For instance, when most people look at me for the first time, some find me scary while others find me weird until they get to know me (a big guy wearing dark-ish clothes and usually a tired frown on his face says something about that person). My own personality sort of contrasts with what I wear most of the time. Another thing I'd like to add is that even if personality related to outer appearances, then I'd still give everyone a chance even if they look like we'd hate each other.
