So I just read online that the State Supreme Court of California just made it legal for gay and lesbian couples to marry. Yes this is a political post of sorts, and yes you may choose not to read any further if you wish.
I have two issues with this whole thing, and for the sake of your sanity I'll make my comments brief.
1) I have nothing personally against anyone who is gay or lesbian, they have the right to make that choice (even though I strongly believe it is the wrong choice). However, marriage is, and forever should be, strictly defined as a union between a MAN and a WOMAN. You can't start changing definitions of things just because people begin to live "alternative lifestyles." I could go on, but promised to be brief.
2) It bothers me to no end that the judicial systems in this country think that they can make laws. It is happening way too often that a handful of judges are deciding to take the law into their own hands and, based on their decisions, determine what laws I have to live by. I think America needs to take another look at the Constitution and remember that the laws are not made by the Judicial system.
There, I've said my peace for the time being. Sorry to ruin all the warm and fuzzy feelings you are accustomed to when reading this fascinating blog of ours.

Sal and I are both of the opinion that if you let the gay and lesbian couples get married, soon the polygamist will follow suit. How can you change the law for one alternative lifestyle and not the other?
A political break (from the warm and fluffy stuff) is welcome from time to time. I like when you make us think!
Hey man I feel the frustration! Check out my post on the whole issue. You inspired me man.
