Thanks to all YOU folks - but not to CA.

Quick message from last night's guest Rambler - Joan - Could you please let your readers know that I will respond to their mails individually, but that it will take me some time. I hope to catch up over the coming weekend.

Thanks to all of you for responding so positively to her. I knew you were all good folk and you wouldn't let us down.

Unlike the CA Supreme Court. I was preparing a good long rant about separate not being equal, the stupidity of saying it's illegal now but those who already made it can stay married, the ridiculous idea that a constitution should be or could be amended to take away a right, and the dangers of saying "it's the will of the people" and allowing the majority to decide the rights (or lack of them) of the minority. After all - the will of the people put Hitler in power. The will of the people said that African-Americans should drink at separate water fountains, ride at the back of the bus and OMG never be allowed to marry white folks. Johnson forced the equal rights legislation through in spite of the will of the people, knowing what it would cost him.

Then I stopped an thought again. Maybe the CA SC knows exactly what it's doing. The situation now is so stupid that pretty much the only thing that makes sense is for federal government to step in, repeal DOMA and sort the whole thing out on a national level. Maybe they're not so daft after all. I wonder if Obama has as much determination & courage as Johnson. Or will he just keep backing away. Until he needs the Gay vote again in 2011. I'll keep watching.

Enjoy your updates. Good night and may your God/s go with you.
