Should gay marriage be a matter for the legislature to decide (as some Republicans such as Gov. Pataki of New York argue) or should it be up to the courts (teh position argued by Gov. Swartze-nick-nack-paddy-whack of California)?
I mean, you'd think they could at least get on the same page about these sorts of things.
Sorry for turning this site into a poorly done political blog, but really the last few weeks have really erased the last bit of my patience for screwed-up governance.

Come on Jason, if they all got on the same page then the "queers" would know exactly how to go about legalizing gay marriage.
So long as the process has to go through the courts, the legislature, the voters and then back through again (as will happen here in California), then there is a chance that those involved will just wear themselves out and quit out of frustration.
[Note: I know this was how these same groups tried to stop the civil rights movement back in the 60s. No one ever said that it was a sane approach by sane people]
The bottom line is that we can't have the insurance companies loosing all that money offering "family benefits" when they don't have to. That just wouldn't be "American".

I guess I must have the unpatriotic versiou of the Declaration of Independence... Mine says "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." I understand it's supposed to read "life (if you're rich, premature death if you're poor), oppression, and the pursuit of profit." I should turn myself in to the nearest reeducation center as soon as possible.
I just wish someone would enlighten Ahnold as to how representative governement works. He keeps saying the people should decided, not the legislature... but the people elected their representatives to make decisions for them.
But he is letting the people decide, just not the people of California. After all, even Republicans are people too.
Wait, did I just say that? <yikes> I think I may be going soft on them.
Ah, that's your problem then. The Declaration of Independance is really nothing more then a declaration of war against Englend (lisitng all grievances in fancy writting). Your rights are enshrined in the Constitution, which doesn't have half the punch that the DoI does.
I would agree that you need a bit of re-education to continue as a productive unit within the system, I believe the Cube facilities have some space you could use. Remember that the Computer is your friend, you must trust the Computer in all things.
Either that or you could emmigrate to either Canada or Belgium immediately and enjoy your inevitable fall into hell and decadence. They have better beer there, you know. ;)

sure, sure, sure, this country's people have no real power and the idea of democracy is becoming, more and more, a thinly veiled illusion. but, even in this fraudulent republic, can't we let people have what they want once in awhile? I understand that blind, Christian doctrine is key to manipulating the masses, but letting homosexuals marry is not going to topple the regime. It's just one more bullshit issue to keep our minds off of real topics. And I agree with Liz. Ostensibly, the people have decided through their elected representatives. It's just that no one Republican wants to be the guy said "ok" to gay marriage.
And that first Republican, upon signing gay marriage into law was overheard saying,
"I was drunk, ok?! I mean, it was just one time, I was just getting back from a college republicans meeting! It was on a dare! Just because I supported it once doesn't mean I am gay, right?"
In other news, 157-39. Looks like it's here to stay.
