Judge Removes Stay on Prop 8 Ruling

Below are the facts from Towleroad.com. From what I heard on Fox News, gay couples can get married on August 18th but... and it's a big but(t), that gives the Prop 8 team a week to stop it from happening. They will stop at nothing to "protect" marriage from gay people.



Ok look, I've said it before and I'll say it a million times more. Gay people getting married does not hurt straight people's marriages. If anything it helps the economy because gay people are going to be spending big bucks on their weddings, probably more than straight people would spend.



Ok now I know that the argument for Prop 8 is not a financial argument but more a moral argument that being gay is immoral according to the bible which was NOT written by a "higher power" but by a bunch of bigots about 2000 years or so ago.



There seems to be a lot of things in the bible that people choose to ignore like that eating shellfish is an abomination (obama-nation?) LEV 10:10, slavery is a good thing especially when you are selling your own DAUGHTER Exodus 21:7, if you wear glasses you cannot get in to heaven LEV 21:23, that is something that everyone seems to forget and so many more. This letter to "Dr." Laura says it all.

My personal favorite is the one that says if you work on the sabbath you must be put to death. Oh yes it's in there. Exodus 35:2. Check it out.



Now, please do me a favor, if you are going to ignore all these other things, please ignore all the gay BS in the bible. Thank you.

Judge Removes Stay on Prop 8 Ruling; Gay Couples Can Marry Aug 18

UPDATE: WE now have official documents. The stay is in place until August 18, at which time couples can marry as far as I can see.

Freedom to Marry is reporting that Judge Walker has lifted the stay on his ruling striking down Proposition 8, meaning couples are free to marry in California.

AWAITING official documents...

Also no word on the status of any appeal...

Said Evan Wolfson of Freedom to Marry in a statement:

“California is now the sixth state where same-sex couples share in the freedom to marry. As the Governor, the Attorney General, and Judge Walker have all concluded, there is no good reason to continue excluding same-sex couples from marriage. Same-sex couples across California can once again share in the respect and personal significance of marriage, as well as the critical safety net of protections and responsibilities that marriage will bring to their families. We are witnessing a growing consensus in America that loving and committed same-sex couples deserve the same respect and the same rights as everyone else. Americans on all sides of the aisle, from Laura Bush to Bill Clinton, have embraced the reality that the freedom to marry helps families, while hurting no one. As same-sex couples in California today celebrate their love, commitment, and equal protection under the law, a majority of Californians and a majority of Americans support their right to marry.” Read more at www.towleroad.com

Children in the band

OH MY GOD BECKY!

The kids next door came home from school and 2 of them have brass instruments!  I'm not exactly sure what kind but I can hear them pretty clear.  It's obvious to me that they have never played them before because the tune they are playing isn't even close to resembling a song.

I empathize with them though because when I was 11 or 12 I played the tuba every day when I got home from school.  My parents would only tolerate me playing it for 1 hour a day and sometimes they made me cut it short after only 10 seconds lol.  Sometimes I had to just practice my fingering.  Yes, I said fingering.

Now I know what I put my parents through all those years ago lol.

Jury Duty

I have something to say about jury duty.  Yes I realize that it's an important thing for the courts and all but the way they go about getting people to be on the jury sucks hard.

You get a jury duty notice in the mail and you have so much time to report and if you don't show up you go to JAIL!  WHAT!  How is that even fair?  It's like they are forcing people to go there instead of work and they don't even pay you that much money to miss work.  I mean it's one thing if you work at a McDonald's, you need the time off from that but what if you make thousands of dollars a week from commission and so you are losing money by going to jury duty.

That is so messed up that you can go to jail if you don't go.  I know that this has been going on for a long time but it just goes to prove to me that this country is not yet free.

Now I know that nobody is going to volunteer for Jury Duty but come on, why don't they recruit people who are out of work?  Why not make this an incentive to bring people in for jury duty.  Offer them a chance to make some money while they are out of work especially now that people are out of work.

It just sucks that they threaten you with jail time if you don't go to jury duty.  It's like the church threatening hell if you don't go to church which is worse than jail but I have a feeling that's where they got the idea to threaten jail.

And if you don't do jury duty and go to jail you will probably lose your job for being in jail and you won't be able to get a new one because now you have a record.  It's a trap.  They send people these post cards every year and you have no choice but to attend or face having a criminal record and not being able to get a job.

Great job government.

Solutions From Beyond

This is something I just found on Facebook.  It's a new show called Solutions From Beyond.  You can apply to be on this show.  Here is what it says in the site:

Do you have a conflict with someone that only a deceased loved one can solve?  Do you need to contact someone on the other side to settle a disagreement here on earth?

Apply here to be considered for this life-changing new television show featuring a gifted and renown medium who can take you on a journey to find a solution from beyond.

Personally I am a huge skeptic in the matter of people being able to talk to the dead.  I'm the type of person that I have to experience it to be a true believer.  If the psychic can tell me what nobody else knows, something that was between me and the dead person then I will truly believe.

The funny thing is, 2 of my favorite shows on TV are Medium and Ghost Whisperer lol.
