This is what tripped my trigger.

You people all enjoy your Mexican “holiday” tomorrow; there’s plenty of time for you to figure out how to deport them starting Sunday.

Let’s think for a minute about Chen Guancheng. Here’s a blind kid from out in the boonies in ShanDong province who goes to a high school for the blind, and then to university where he studies acupuncture and massage and audits law classes; and then he makes a career of attacking the government that’s provided his education. Not saying he isn’t a heck of a guy; but, if this wasn’t an election year, what are the chances more than 25 people would give a rat’s ass about him? Especially 25 neo-con Republicans?

The flow of blood decreases in the viagra no prescription genital areas of the body. Vigorelle’s creamy and silky texture creates a warm “tingling” sensation that speeds up arousal time and brings on your body’s natural lubrication. levitra 10 mg deeprootsmag.org Responding to men looking for faster ED formulas, Ajanta levitra online india deeprootsmag.org Pharma introduce kamagra jelly as world’s fastest working jelly on the market. One of the ways that guys are “programmed” by nature is to want viagra pill for woman to please a woman. Junior Seau. I’ve been a Chargers fan since 1970, and enjoyed watching Junior out there at the Murph. He was no Billy Ray, but he was inspirational on and off the field, and a heck of a guy. Having said that, he got a free ride to USC and made a crap load of money playing a violent kids’ game brilliantly. His subsequent depression that likely drove him to suicide was probably related to repetitive brain trauma despite continual improvements in helmet design. There’s a class-action suit pending now against the industry that fed him and enshrined him in the Hall of Fame. As a working under-grad and grad student at SDSU, I had some serious issues with the degree to which I  was subsidizing the varsity sports programs; and, later in life, I’ve had issues with the extent to which I was subsidizing professional sports franchises. This whole narrative makes me sick.

On Tuesday, North Carolina will go to the polls to vote on Amendment One to formally ban that which is already banned under state law: same-sex marriage. Amendment One actually bans just about any arrangement other than marriage, too, which is going to be a problem, but my issue is with the marriage thing. I haven’t been able to avoid ads about Amendment One and all of the other campaigns working out there, and I still haven’t heard a single non-theological argument against same-sex marriage. Not one. Occasionally a self-avowed conservative Christian will make a non-theological argument about something, but never about same-sex marriage. With apologies to any of my  readers who are content in marriages, marriage is unconstitutionally bound to religion; it needs to go.

    You make some good points. Marriage is the one that bugs me. Let people have their religious ceremonies as part of a wedding, but the government end of it is a business contract. Government has no right saying two adults cannot enter into it regardless of gender. I think it’s a big issue and the right is winning on it because so many Americans don’t use logic to figure out anything.

    Excellent post!!!!! You make excellent sense — as always. And so does Rain! My daughter, who decided long that she didn’t wish to marry or reproduce (her words), once said in a discussion on same sex marriage that she felt that *everyone* should be able to “suffer the wrongs of marriage”.

    I can’t wait to read the articles on same-sex divorce — which will the next problem on magazine covers.
