The Psychotic Doctor

The debate is hot with both sides accusing the other of dishonesty (so what else is new in politics, right?). Wikipedia has a non-partisan description of the proposition, the language, and the major groups in support and opposition. (The Wiki opinion poll data is only shown through May 2008).

Where does it end? Or maybe it should not end? If the cry from gays deserves equality, why not the cry from polygamists, polygynists, polygnandrists, or soral people? You decide? If we open this floodgate, where will it end....and who will drown? That question is next!

If same sex marriage is maintained as legal, do you believe there will be no big loss to you and your family? "After all, you tell yourself, I am not involved in that life style." Think again my friend! This issue is not just about allowing homosexuals and lesbians to marry. It has far reaching consequences.

Did you notice who loses? Parental Rights! That is one of the losers.

My last post stated Proponents of a NO VOTE on California's Proposition 8 claimed the YES VOTE Proponents were telling lies in their advertising. It was suggested that California School would not be required to teach Same Sex marriage on an equal basis as Heterosexual Marriage. Even I was not certain of the legal status of the California Education Code until I read the letter from the YES Proponent's Legal Counsel. Counsel Andrew P. Pugno's letter clearly illustrates that if same sex marriage remains legal in California and if a school district chooses to teach sex education (96% of California school districts choose to teach sex education), then the district will be REQUIRED to teach marriage as part of sex education and do so without discrimination.

This letter was written by Mr. Pugno to television station managers in response to the NO Proponents writing to station managers claiming the YES Ads to be untrue and requesting the station not run the YES Proponent's ads.

Are you still unable decide whether or not it would be true that California children would be taught same-sex marriage if Proposition 8 results in a NO vote? You think that just because it happened in the liberal State of Massachusetts, it will not happen here (as if California is any less liberal). Well, Einstein, think about this:

By the way, the school administrator for the children going to the wedding of their teacher admitted there was question of justifying the field trip academically. The administrator. Liz Jaroslow, justified the trip saying: "It really is what we call a teachable moment."

The NO Vote Proponents are still advertising accusing the YES Vote Proponents as lying in their advertising. Read my other blog for a long discussion illustrating the facts of the matter.

YEP! Good Old Fashioned Depression will do the trick for your weight issue.

Of course, while you are losing weight by the pound, you are also losing a lot of other stuff...like self-esteem and happy loved ones. It is up to you: Weight Loss or Happy Days. It is your choice.

How are you doing with your finances? Has the droopy economy drug you down yet? Have you lost your house yet? Your car? Your credit score? And how are you doing with your creditors?

Today the bank that holds my car loan called me three times (YES...1.....2....3) asking me when I would be able to make a payment? I am only five days late and I have never missed a payment or been seriously late. Five days and three calls! Yesterday was one call. I am aquiver with anticipation to see how many calls I receive tomorrow...when I am six days late....maybe I will wait out to 20 days to pay. I can see the newspaper headlines now: Bank Melts Phone Lines Calling Recalcitrant Debtor.
