Woo hoo!

Go Slash.

Yet another reason that I have a SERIOUS crush on Slash.

Gotta make the case.

This is a political issue.

The proponents of Prop 8 did a much better job, IMO, than the opponents.

California is pretty much an open marketplace of ideas.

In such a market, when ideas compete, the best idea wins.

too true. in this case there are constitutional questions. i know, that is a problem for some. might be illegal as well as just wrong. i’ll just go north to the el coyote on thurs.

Rock On!

they used the church’s infrastructure to impact the state constitution. Several lawsuits in court now will rectify that, if justice prevails. The Federal Constitution strictly forbids this (as well as church dogma, “judge not, lest ye yourself be judged”, among others)

If the best idea wins, I look forward to the Moonies, Catholic’s and Mormons being stripped of tax-exempt status.

BTW, Nice “Push-back from the Mormon Meme” you got there, ART. How much they paying you?

Digg!

Hey, jacqrat.

I express my own thoughts.

You don’t like ‘em, take ‘em on.

Here is an email from Courage here in California:

Will you be a part of “The Tipping Point” on marriage equality?
In 2000, Malcolm Gladwell wrote a best-selling book exploring how small events can catalyze seismic shifts in culture. Eight years later, you can participate in what could be one of the most profound “tipping points” in American political history.
On Saturday morning, at the exact same time across the country, thousands of people will march, rally and protest the passage of Prop 8.
Incredibly, this volunteer-run national event was not organized by a well-known institution or coalition of organizations. It was sparked just a few days ago by Amy Balliett, a Seattle woman who turned a blog post about protesting Prop 8 into “Join the Impact,” a bottom-up internet phenomenon attracting tens of thousands of people.
Will you join this unprecedented national protest against Prop 8 and march for marriage equality on Saturday morning? Please click here to find “Join the Impact” rally locations at City Halls across California and then let us know if you’re going to be there at 10:30 a.m. PT:

Amy Balliett didn’t need anyone’s permission to call for a nationwide protest against Prop 8. Instead, she posted a blog entry that is helping birth a new Marriage Equality Movement — a technology-driven civil rights movement for the 21st Century. As 365gay.com reported:
“This past Friday, Nov. 7, ‘Join the Impact’ hit the web. Five hours later, the site logged 10,000 visitors… By Monday morning, a plan had emerged: Cities around the country would organize their own efforts to coordinate a synchronized protest for Sat., Nov. 15, 10:30 a.m. PST. The movement became officially global with hits from the UK and France, and by Nov. 11, over one million visitors had come to the site.”
Organized from the ground up by thousands of ordinary people just like you, this people-powered protest movement is growing exponentially by the minute, online and offline.
Can you help make this grassroots event the tipping point for marriage equality in America? Please let us know if you can show up to the march and rally in your community on Saturday morning at 10:30 a.m. PT. Click here to find “Join the Impact” locations:

This is our moment to stand strong together — gay and straight — and say that we refuse to accept a California where discrimination is enshrined in our state constitution.
We hope you will take this stand on Saturday and encourage your friends to show up as well by forwarding this message and asking them to come with you.
Thank you for helping make Amy’s brilliant idea the tipping point on marriage equality in America.

oh, heck, you are welcome to your opinion. i’ll not try to turn you.

just out of curiosity, whould you care to state your position?

[dugg]

Sure,

My vote would have been against Prop 8.

I would have joined marches.

Prop 8 is awful.

But Californians voted for it.

In such a market, when ideas compete, the best idea wins.

There is a disconnect in your statement. Competing and winning does not always equal “best idea wins”. It often times means that the most expensive or the biggest baddest mofo’s win. That seems quite clear to me and history spells that out in spades. How come you fail to understand that simple fact and concept?

Break lurk
We will be standing tall in Bend, Oregon
Greenwood and Wall St. downtown

Methinks you don’t quite get the picture, you might want to read the constitution again again.

okay. so, for you that settles it. and why is that? is it your opinion that the majority rules? absolutely? just askin.

Okay Art, My bad apologies, I need to comment less

I’ll just throw this out:

It should never be easy to alter the state constitution. It is darn near impossible on the federal level and it should be as difficult on the state level. People have a way of chipping away at their freedom without being aware of it.

Just saying that it should take more than a majority vote to alter the rights of individuals (you know… not on a presidential election ballot rather it’s own special ballot)

Great message and loved hearing the guitar.

Sounds great, now when is Slash going to mend fences with Axl?
