Civil Rights Up for Vote

[sighyoung]

I used to think it would lessen the sanctity of marriage. Now, I really don't care. My marriage, if i ever get married, won't be lessened because two women do the same thing or two guys do either.

I'm not married, but I think seeing this would lessen the sanctity of it.

Indeed. The dog is enticing.

It's not insulting to suggest that voters may not have thought through the implications of their vote. It's pretty common for people to not even know about ballot propositions until they walk in the booth. So they see the question as do you want to ban gay marriage or not?

Exactly. They saw it for what it was. A ban on homosexual marriage. And, they voted to ban it at a clip of 7-3. Don't blame that on someone else. Don't say they didn't know what they were doing.

I think we're splitting hairs, but why don't we just say that those against the ban need to do a better job of convincing people to join them? I think that's what she meant. Nowhere is she saying they didn't know what they were doing.

I totally thought that's what I was saying. Props to you if you made your point understood b/c I know I didn't make mine.

That's all I was trying to do.

I've never heard anyone refer to me as beerstrike, but i kind of see it.

I'm surprised how many people don't get your name.

Guilty -I thought beer too, if I thought about it at all. Now I see it.

I always got the username, I just didn't feel like mentally saying a-double-u-ver-sus-see-bee-stee-rike-three so I mentally say beer-strike. It's much easier. Though somewhat terrifying.



Also you can find on this newsclip (about 1:00 in) a very attractive and very preggers Mrs Young at the retirement of her man's #8 earlier this year

Living in a society where your rank was obvious based on the size of your pompadour could make life interesting.

For a male dominated society, that one leaves a lot to be desired.

from Mark Twain's western travel book "Roughing It"

Our stay in Salt Lake City amounted to only two days, and therefore we had no time to make the customary inquisition into the workings of polygamy and get up the usual statistics and deductions preparatory to calling the attention of the nation at large once more to the matter.

I had the will to do it. With the gushing self-sufficiency of youth I was feverish to plunge in headlong and achieve a great reform here—until I saw the Mormon women. Then I was touched. My heart was wiser than my head. It warmed toward these poor, ungainly and pathetically "homely" creatures, and as I turned to hide the generous moisture in my eyes, I said, "No--the man that marries one of them has done an act of Christian charity which entitles him to the kindly applause of mankind, not their harsh censure--and the man that marries sixty of them has done a deed of open-handed generosity so sublime that the nations should stand uncovered in his presence and worship in silence."

God I love Mark Twain.

Because the men are so totally hot.

Really, more power to them if they enjoy their lives, but what an oppressive life. What a simple life it must be to be taught from the time you are born that your one purpose in life is to please a man and bear his children and nothing else. It makes things very easy, cut and dry, and all that jazz. Actually, they may be on to something...it would be kinda nice to be at home waiting to have sex all day and taking care of kids. But to share a husband that you actually love, not in this lifetime, no way. But to each his own.
