OY!
You go, Jerry!
State Attorney General Jerry Brown, in a surprise turnabout, asked the state Supreme Court late today to overturn Proposition 8, saying the voter-approved ban on same-sex marriage violates basic rights guaranteed in the state Constitution.
Brown, whose office requires him to defend state laws unless he cannot find reasonable legal grounds to do so, said after Prop. 8 passed Nov. 4 that he would support the initiative before the state's high court.
But in a lengthy filing today, he argued that the measure was "inconsistent with the guarantees of individual liberty" in California's governing charter.
"Proposition 8 must be invalidated because the amendment process cannot be used to extinguish fundamental constitutional rights without compelling justification," Brown said.
The authors of the state Constitution, he said, did not intend "to put a group's right to enjoy liberty to a popular vote."

It is true that this song is not on the album of that name. Simels would regret this, but I did do it on purpose, so I guess I should regret it personnally.
But I don't.

One of my best friends in high school was a paraplegic, (motorcycle accident) and star on the softball team we played on.
She wanted to see John Denver, and wanted four of us to go. Of course somebody used the second wheel chair and just tied their legs to the chair. Jeans covered it and we got great seats.

California has a weird glitch that allows some changes in the state constitution to be made by straight popular vote; while others must be done by amendment with approval of the legislature as well.
This is why Massachusetts' gay marriage thang has not been overturned. The Legislature will not let it go to a vote.
Only fucking thing they've ever done right.

Ditto, but I am best at serving, not spiking. Of course, I need to get back into it, but practice for the girls starts soon.
The American criminal justice and prison system is a national disgrace, that should provoke a sense of deep moral urgency as to fixing it. But it fundamentally depends upon the notion that it's easy to separate, unambiguously and forever, those who deserve rights and those who do not, those who are to be treated as fully human and those who do not. If you don't think you'll ever have a problem with the system, unlike Those People--and we both know who they are--then you won't care if they all get locked up. Tough on crime.

Can we cut to the chase here? There is no fundamental "right" for a man to put his d*** in another man's a** and pretend it is normal. The only reason the gay population hasn't crashed like it has throughout history is because the zillions of dollars spent on HIV research and AIDS drugs. So Lance and his boyfriend can infect another 100 people in the coming year.

It's her world; I just live in it.
I saw some truly wonderful concerts in the period 1968-1971.
In August 1969, at the New York Pavilion of the old 1964 World's Fair, I saw Santana. They played for at least three hours straight, no break. We left at that point, but they were still going strong. Unreal.
In 1970, Princeton had astounding concerts. I was a dumb freshman, but lo, there was James Taylor, with his then main squeeze Joni Mitchell. Astounding. A month or two later, the single best concert I've ever seen, Cat Stevens. He was more precise live than on his recent record, Tea for the Tillerman. Three years later I was involved with a gifted pianist, and accompanied her to various concerts, including one by a very young André Watts. Wowzers.
I will go to my grave believing that all acts of love and pleasure are rituals of the Goddess.

Rightards don't do love and/or pleasure.
They're too much into hatred of and inflicting pain on others.
the point about language and we regret we have to resort to language, is that it is massive and takes profound effort to change. change sometimes is subtle, for example, the switch to gender neutral english. difficult to say the least. but the rewards are likely bountiful.

After watching them, I'm not sure what it really proved.
I supposed everyone asked to participate in an experiment, especially under the auspices of Yale University, in 1961, wanted to "do it right".
But most all the "teachers', when getting feedback that the "shock" was hurting the "learner", recoiled about it, to varying degrees.
Some teachers were really getting kind of worked up about it.

TerryC: I don't think it's about hatred so much as power. The hatred, the pleasure in another's suffering, the necessity that another's rights be compromised by the assertion of your own, all follow from that.
Much of the social pathologies associated in this society with blacks, gays and others has less to do with their specific natures than it does with their powerlessness, their subjugation. You let gay folk out of the closet, let them lead normal lives, they won't look quite so much like The Other anymore; their rights would seem normal. You actually know real women who are witches, who go about their witchcraft as part of their everyday lives, you'll react differently to a media caricature of them. Jews. Irish. Chinese. Like that.
