Magic, Really a black and white issue?

Magic. The means to change something which through conventional means would be impossible. Many have seen it depicted in movies, video games, tv shows and other works of fiction. But what is it really. Is it really sparkles of engery that transforms one thing or another? The ability to shoot lightning from your fingertips? sounds unnatural huh? Magic isn't unnatural. It is nature's energy. To get the most of magic, one must work with nature, not against it. No doubt you've heard the terms "white magic" and "Black magic". Usually white magic is defined as spells and rituals that are performed for the benefit of others with no intent for the self and no wish to harm others. Conversly, black magic is the term given for rituals performed for personal gain. For harm of others and other selfish ends.
It is interesting to note most practictioners of magic will claim to use only white magic, as enemies of magic claim all practice black magic. The truth is, no one practices magic for completely selfless reasons. Who wasn't happy with making a friend happy? Who hasn't taken pride in a successful working? We all get some kind of gratification from it, no sence in denying it. So, is magic completely white? Doesn't seem like it can be. Can it be completely black? Well, to muster enough energy to kill, one must really hate the intended victim for a successul working, to muster such hatred, one must either be a close minded fool inwhich case it could be black, or if there was a gross injustice played on the part of the victim.

Prop 8. A reflection 1 and a half years on.

Proposition 8. Why after 1 and a half years does a law in a state of a country I'm not a citizen of still annoy me? I'm not even gay or even bisexual, why should I care if same sex couples get married. Why is it any of my business. It's not any of my business. I have no right to say who can and who can't get married. Whatever makes people happy and as long as no one is harmed. I fail to see any immorality so I have no reason to oppose it. It's none of my business, but it isn't the business of anyone else who isn't affected in any way. Yet there were many who opposed same sex marriage. Why exactly? Is it the spread of a deadly pathogen? Will it cause the end of the world. Will it cause the Nazis to return riding on dinosaurs? Well, the reason oftern cited is no less rediculous. It is because an invisible man in the sky who supposedly made all of us said no. So naturally the christian hate machine once again minipulate the politics of a nation built on secularity. Seriously, is same sex marriage compulsary? Do churches no longer have the right to wed same sex couples? I'm not saying churches need to drop their right to refuse. I mean who would want to go where they're not welcome anyway. But there are still religious options what accept homosexual people with very nice ceremonies. A wiccan handfasting, a satanic wedding, even a more liberal christian union. So I ask you, does same sex marriage affect you. If so, please say so. If not, why oppose it?
