I was actually planning on writing the federal government because of the Supreme Court case they're arguing.
Hey, Sue, did you see that Hamm's reconsidering the Sunday shopping thing? I saw a newspaper headline the other day saying that Hamm realized that they had misread public sentiment on Sunday shopping and would be putting forward a new proposal.
This is a time of celebration, so sit still and be quiet.

Socks are a running theme throughout the series. They are used as symbols of freedom, redemption and love.

Thanks for all the fish.
I really just don't understand people who are against same-sex marriage. I've yet to hear a convincing argument against it.

"It makes baby Jesus cry" doesn't do it for you, huh?

Oh, well, if you put it that way... If god had wanted gay people to be married he'd have created Adam and Steve instead of Adam and Eve. But, then, they weren't married either.

But only for during the Christmas shopping season. He did say he'd like to hold a referendum on the matter.

I figure the Sunday shopping thing is just election posturing.
Don't all the arguments against same-sex unions fundamentally boil down to what Jon said. I mean, there's no real argument that doesn't have a religious root. Right?
I'm with Elena. I'm baffled by the opposition. I guess I'm in the "gov't has no business in the bedrooms of the nation" camp.

See, what I would have liked to see as a response from the government when the issue of same-sex marriage first came up was the repsonse the Canadian military had to the challenge of the "no gay soldiers" rule. Which was something along the lines of "Hmm. No, we don't actually have a good reason for that. Ok, change the rule!"
I really think that in a couple of decades it will look like the laws against inter-racial marriage. I was going to say more, but I'm too sleepy to think. Too bad it's 10am and I'm at work.

Eep! I just checked the online tv guide, and it says that Space will be showing the new episode of Angel tonight. Woohoo!

Wow... they are just skipping the episode that we saw on Monday on ASN? Weird. I'd be some pissed off if I was an exclusive space watcher.
Could just be a TV guide mess up though.

So "it's icky" doesn't work for you either, then?

Let's hope so.
