Works fine - actually, I had no idea what model it was until I just looked. I presumed it was some thing my grandfather got in the 60’s - which he may have, but by it’s serial number it is actually 100 years old (1904). Dang.

Snickersnee? Well...close! Actually it is a bolo knife (a snickersnee being some kind of vague “large knife”). At two and a half feet long, I’d call that large!

   Yes, but I believe the lowest pit of hell isn’t reserved for all politicians, just those from Texas (though Nixon has done his darnedest to crash the party).

lol I would have said Massachusetts, long before JFKerry appeared! The ones from Texas would probably appreciate the cooler weather though;-)


ROFLMAO!


  
  
   The issue is whether the government can recognize a marriage that is defined as a union between 1 man and 1 woman and have that not violate equal protection. I think it can.

And if it can, might it not decide tomorrow that marriage can’t include people of two different races? I’d rather not have the government telling me what I can and cannot do.


That’s not the issue. It’s one of recognition. You can marry and do whatever you want to do.


Currently.


  
   They are taking a shortcut. Either their action stands, saving the taxpayers the court costs (because the goverment figures its laws won’t stand up and the court action is a waste of time and money) or it takes the case to court which is the net same effect.

Well, how parsimonious. Since when are Democrats interested in saving instead of spending?


ANNNNNNHHHHH! Wrong guess, Hans. My party is the color of my eyes (on a non-smoggy day, ya smart-alec).

Actually, I don’t see a lot of difference on the “spending” front between Democrats and Republicans (beyond they have different agendas for the money). Democrats want to tax, though, and Republicans want to borrow and pretend like it doesn’t work out to the same.


  
   Further, issuing marriage licenses doesn’t mean that they have any legal weight, so in effect why seek confrontation when you have an effective pocket veto? The game-playing by both sides has hardly begun!

It makes me wonder what benefit gays think they are deriving from this “stand”. It will most certainly backfire and elicit far more acrimony towards their “cause” than any small amount of good obtained.


Defeat of the narrow-minded?
