Certainly something to think about especially considering that with Kerry or Bush likely in office nothing may change at all. Where do their true loyalties lie?

(Aren't I good? No mention of Bush slapping some skull on somebody...)

Bushes on Marriage

From AP: 'SANTA MONICA, Calif. - Laura Bush says gay marriages are "a very, very shocking issue" for some people, a subject that should be debated by Americans rather than settled by a Massachusetts court or the mayor of San Francisco. Asked how she feels about the issue personally, Mrs. Bush replies: "Let's just leave it at that."'

Ms. Bush, Americans are debating the issue and the courts ultimately must settle the issue. Or are you saying the courts will follow the outcome of the debate? This is most dis-ingenious because likely the majority of Americans are against same-sex marriages. *BUT* the Laws aren't always for the Majority. Instead they're for the Minority to protect them from the Majority. It's called Freedom. The Majority of Americans are likely Christian or Catholic. Should we therefore let them dictate Religious thought for all Americans? If we let Majority rule, kiss most Freedoms farewell. The women would never have gotten the vote. "Separate but Equal" would be the Law of the Land far more than it is today.

If two people want to get married for "all the right reasons" let them. Gender is irrelevant.

If marriage is so sacred that it must be between a man and woman then certainly those people who violate that sacredness should face some punishment. Our kids look to parents and to celebrities as role models. Certainly abusive or absent parents aren't much of a model. Nor are the fun frolics of celebs like Britney Spears who marry from an alcoholic whim. And what kind of model is Liz Taylor, who changes husbands on a near daily basis. Or Anna Nicole Smith? She married an old rich guy "for love" and is now suing to get control of that "love". Are these better role models for kids that two people commited to each other who happen to be of the same gender?

There is NOTHING inherently better about a non-same sex marriage that makes the participants somehow better as people or as parents than couples of the same sex. In fact because of the scrutiny same-sex couples may be better, certainly more tolerant, as people and as parents.

Death of TV

Looks like this will be the last season for Angel. So now my watching is reduced to Alias and wrestling, and wrestling is getting boring mighty fast. Looks like DVDs will be the fare. Hmmm, I wonder if the garbage on TV is just a ploy to sell DVDs....
