    different = bad
    same = good

    Jah,

    As with about 25 percent of your posts, I have no idea what you are talking about. Why don't you state what you want to say clearly.

    A friend reminds me that a similar ballot measure in CA passed by 61-39 in 2000. This year, the margin was 52-48. In other words, even when it comes to institutionalized discrimination against homosexuals, the tide is turning pretty rapidly against the cultural conservatives.

    One more data point that shows how irrelevant cultural conservatives are becoming.

You are welcome to post at this blog. You are asked, however, to refrain from the following:

1. Name-calling;
2. Questioning the motives or integrity of people you have never met just because you disagree with them;
3. Using obscenities or other expressions not appropriate or necessary to civilized discussion;
4. Taking disagreement personally;
5. Demeaning or insulting remarks.

The host will attempt to abide by the same rules and only asks that you not provide him with the temptation to do so in return by violating them.

Failure to comply with these rules can result (depending solely on the arbitrary and inscrutable will of the host) in the deletion of offending posts and suspension of posting privileges. Such measures are more likely if you post anonymously.
