It took many years and a civil war for America to grow from a bitchy baby to early adulthood and understand that minorities have rights too. The mob is not a dictator to lord over minorities, or suffragettes. <br /><br />We still are growing in this respect, and prop h8 is the latest manifestation. A huge amount of money and energy was spent and is continuing to be spent on this issue.

I think there are biggers concerns in my spiritual life than worrying about whether or not two guys want to get married. <br /><br />I would rather focus on myself and my own sins first.Otter Limitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11975093403377963897noreply@blogger.com
