Sad Irony
The Tillman family is unhappy about the Army's attempt to, if not cover up, at least delay the truth coming out about the circumstances of Pat's death. This is disgusting, and props to the Tillman family for speaking out. Tillman and others like him bravely died for an ideal that must be upheld, and it's a sad irony that it wasn't even upheld when it came to reporting the details of his death.
We really need to shape the fuck up.
Oh and it looks like the gay marriage ban will be put to vote her in Texas. I'm sure it will pass. Would it pass if it were 'Jew marriage ban? or 'Black marriage ban? Of course not. When you hear it put in another context you instinctively know it's wrong. This is every bit as wrong.
I do not feel that consenting adults should have fewer rights as a result of their sexual preference...pretty simple really.
Bottom line do you really care who gets married? Does it really effect you?
Oh and how ironic is the house and senate passing a bill to protect the sanctity of marriage....uh you better check your interns and make sure you are paid up on your hush money.

We must defend the morals of this country! And we need to get government out of our lives!
Those two statements, while disparate, often come out of the mouths of people who support the gay marriage ban. And they find nothing ironic about that at all.
Sadly, the world is not yet ready for gay marriage. Not while the moral majority is in charge anyway.
This is one of those issues, like civil rights or women's suffrage, that future generations will look back and wonder what in the hell were we thinking.
Two steps forward, one step backward.

Your 2 cents are always welcome here. On the rare occasions I talk about something that matters I welcome the discussion. Even if you find you disagree..especially if you disagree. Dialogue is usually a good thing.
I come from a very modern family with very traditional catholic values (if that makes any sense) and it kills me to hear them say that it's okay to be gay just not okay to be gay and married...something having to do with "family values". meanwhile, my mom has been married 4 times. What does THAT say about family values?
I love you all. You truly give me hope.
