excellent sleight of hand

you know why this is the the main story on CNN.com? [link points to story about a constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage]

so that stuff like this IS NOT the main story. [link points to story about some bad news in Irag, and by bad news I mean 50 people were kidnapped by "impostors" posing as police; it was probably the actual police doing some moonlighting, but whatever.]

do we really need a constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage? is it that big of a deal to prevent homos from having the same legal partnership rights as straight couples? I don't think so. I think that if gay people want to be gay and partners then they should be able to have the same thing that straight couples do in re: insurance, loans, estate management, etc.

biblically, it's pretty clear that gays cannot be married in the eyes of God. who cares? not gay people. so why bother? because it takes your eye off the ball, even for a little bit. now that's what I call strong leadership.
