Who’s a lawyer? Could a law passed in Florida be made forcefully recognized in Kansas?
Seems like that would be the decision of the Kansas citizens to adopt that law, right? Then it wouldn’t be consider a forced recognition.
I’ve read the reactions to President Bush’s June 3rd radio address on several blogs and I can’t believe this is/was an issue in the U.S. I then read the white house’s transcripts to Bush’s address and yep, it’s religiously charged and probably motivated by party promise, but that’s what the majority voted for.
Even though I believe our government should have more pressing events and issues to consider, these arguments signal a change in our social chemistry. This change should be acknowledged and if all possible nurtured. Just like in 1948, California’s state Supreme Court’s struck down California’s law against interracial marriage. What’s wrong with redefining our laws to fit the needs of our current-day culture? Maybe same-sex marriages could be the next step to “stabilizing our society” by defusing prejudices between our citizens.
According to Bush:
“The Defense of Marriage Act declares that no state is required to accept another state’s definition of marriage.”
Under the 10th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, all governmental powers not granted to the United States Federal Government by the Constitution are reserved for the states. But not one state government has power over another state government so why is this proposed amendment even legislatively necessary?
I can appreciate Bush’s appeal to promote the welfare of children and the stability of society. But the definition of a family unit has so greatly changed over the last 50 years that sometimes we can’t always refer to the “Ages of Experience” for guidance in protecting the interests of all.
yeah, even the conservative radio people are upset with bush. they also think another speech on gay marriage is a waste of time when there are other crisis to be addressing like border control, etc.
you guys are flying in! yipee!!!
so you mean my blog never appears when you’re randomingly surfing? probably b/c i’m usually out of credits midday. i play 1 game of hangman, surf for a bit, and that gets me 30 credits for the day. it’s addictive! i love seeing others blogs.
ps – next time getting tickets, try sidestep.com. love it! jess told me about it. it searches multiple sites for you and compiles the info. it use to search more sites, but it at least gives you a start.
i think thats how it works. the more credits you have, the more your blog shows. everytime your sites shown, you lose credit. on my control panel, it says that my blogs been shown over 400 times with only 6 direct clicks. i et the sites that shown oftern are people who have like 20,000 credits. i quess thats why you want to win the lottery – or surf for hours a day. who has time?

Don’t even get me started!! Your argument is everything that I feel. Close mindedness in America just baffles me sometimes. Larry & I love reading your blog and tales from Germany (and he wants you to know he is supremely jealous of the world cup!!).
