Four Less Years

Ok, so I think I have to agree with Nathan on this one. If you cried because Bush is president, you're probably overreacting. Yes, he's not a nice man. Yes, the Right will probably be able to pass a lot of bad laws. And yes, this country will be headed decidedly down in the next four years. However, politics is like alcoholism.

The only problem I have with your statement is the whole "they will undoubtedly be given equal partnership rights as a man/woman married couple might enjoy" part. This may be true in a few states like CA where there is ban and homosexual marriages but not civil unions, but not in the majority of the 11 states where bans on gay marriages were enacted. There were clauses banning civil unions in addition. This undoubtedly presents a problem for couples that need a binding government contract of 'togetherness' to pass on health benefits and insurance from work among other dilemmas this will cause.

Also, with Rehnquist most likely leaving the court and Bush choosing his successor (with senatorial [or is it the house?] approval), the chance for these laws to be struck down in conservative majority court will be rare. At least for a while thanks to the whole unlimited term length for Supreme Court judges. Not to mention the possibility of Roe vs. Wade being overturned among other progressive verdicts under the tenure of this court to be.

1. If you press the button marked "Caps Lock" you won't have to put up with that massive lettering.

2. If you had actually read my entry perhaps you would have realized that it was not about my opinion, but rather about an inevitable constant known as change. In fact, as far as liberalism goes, I was saying that whining is futile. If you're too blind to accept change then you have a very empty view of the way the world works and I pity you. I have no intention of encroaching on your beliefs, however even if gay marriage is banned, it will be unbanned. You can't legislate morality. Prohibition taught us that. Whether you

3. What the hell distatorship?

4. I pray with all my heart that this is indeed a bad joke
