I don't know who even sings the stupid song, but whoever produced the song "I can see clearly now, the rain has gone" (the bright sunshiny day song) was an idiot. The distortion is so heavy in that song that it makes me turn the channel every time. What a bonehead blunder that was.

I was listening to some religious AM radio station today on my way from Reno to Silver Springs, and they were having a discussion about Adam and the concept of so-called "original sin". I guess I knew in an academic sort of way that some people believed in this concept, but I found it disturbing to actually hear people talk about Adam like he was a horribly weak person who should've prayed more and didn't know what he was doing. It was an interesting broadcast in the sense that I got to listen in on others' beliefs, but very saddening to me because I believe Adam to be one of the most righteous men to have lived on Earth, that he knew exactly what his choice in the Garden meant before he did it, and that his decision was fully necessary for the progression of the human family. I feel he deserves some respect and personally find it disheartening when people try to say that we all are stained because of Adam's transgression, like everything is his fault. Just my two cents on the subject.
