A lot of people in CA who just won the right to get married will probably beg to differ.
As for me, I've been married for 17.5 years and wouldn't trade a minute of it for all the loot Bush and his pirates have plundered in 8 years.

hey, tomorrow is my 16th............a typical marriage..no fairytales, just reality...........ups and downs like anything.........thats life.............
I have to chcuckle tho.............for the many gays that wished for this thing.......lets just say, IF they decide to split..........lol..........theyll run into a myriad of legal problems so to say...........
Again............live together..............its the same thing basically and it all boil down to just that....................
- Well I don't think it makes any difference.
By Fred from Oregon on May 15, 2008 8:38 PM EDTMy wife and i have a civil union. There was no marriage, per se, no church. We can call it marriage but that has nothing to do with the legal aspects.
A rose is a rose by any other name, and gays that think calling it marriage makes any difference are kidding themselves. It's the legal rights that count and those rights are not necessarily transferrable across State lines just because you call it a marriage.
It's not the same as desegregation.
Turned on the TV for the first time in a while to learn that Bush has called Obama an appeaser of nazis -- while OVERSEAS in the Israeli Knesset.
Much is made of it by the Rabid Right if Americans criticize their nation while overseas, yet here we have a so called president attacking his possible, if not presumptive, successor; and not just overseas, but in front of a foreign national assembly. It is a new low from political cretins who I thought must surely have already scraped the bottom bare.
And the network I saw this on, CNN, chose to run fringe denunciations of Obama in support of Bushit and his footman McInsane.
Unfortunately Sitka, there are a lot of idiots out there who will believe what Bush, McInsane, Larry Craig, and sundry other fascists have to say.
It has a nice ring to it, but if you apply it to the Revisionist Zionist devotees, you must also use it for the Christians. Sounds too much like Rabbi. But they're probably going to call you a Nazi anyway, if you use the term.
The Iron Wall revisionism was a 1920-30s dogma put forth by Jabotinsky, that there could be no negotiation or relationship with the indigenious Palestines except from a position of superior military status, assuming they would never give anything the Zionists would want.
The reason we say "Revisionist Zionism" is because modern Zionism not only follows the 1920s revised ideology of Zionism, but also goes far beyond it (to the right.)
Present day Revisionist Zionists still do not want to negotiate with the Palestinians, even from a position of infinitely superior military force.
to all our new DFA delegates.
let's all get together (yea yea yea). but not at 7 a.m. I love my sleep.
Looks like we will be on the convention floor until late.
The sessions will go until 9 PM Mountain, 11 PM Eastern. Not quite as good as LA, but beats the heck out of Boston. Where are your from? Kate
why is he still around
I saw him at some place drinking from a chalase. Where is Indiana Jones??
and looking like he was drunk and at a frat party.
for god's sake, what does it take????
When Bush made his speech in Israel his speech sounded slurred to me.
I understand how gay couples would want to have rights like wills and ability to make decisions in the hospital, etc. Also maybe to have kids. Lots of reasons really.
The CA supreme court said it all--it's a fundamental right--this should be the beginning of the end for those who would deny them that right, unfortunately including Howard Dean and John Edwards.
Howard Dean did a good thing by getting Civil Unions through. Again, John you havent walked the walk, but you can sure criticize, and talk the cheap talk.
I doubt either would discount the will of the Court.
I wonder whether or not the current conservative/fascist (Federal) Supreme Court might find the Ca ruling an impingement on Federal law?
I just don't think it really matters legally - calling gay unions "marriage" is a social issue, not a legal one, unless a majority of the electorate want to officially define it that way. There is no violation of rights calling an African American a "negro" or calling a white person a "caucasian" It is not what you call a gay union, that ensures common law rights for them, it is the legal status of that union.
That absolutely was a response to Paine's comment that both Dean and Edwards would uphold the ruling of the court.
it will be interesting to see what happens at the federal level ~ there are many states that have passed anti-civil union/same-sex marriage ~ and the first bill introduced in the Senate this session was to make it illegal for federal courts to hear cases on this and other issues.
Fred ~ I believe it's a matter of semantics. The terms civil union and marriage mean different things to different people and are defined in laws differently depending on the state. Whatever it ends up getting called, the same term should be used for all people as far as I'm concerned.

The justices' 4-3 decision Thursday says domestic partnerships are not a good enough substitute for marriage.

McCain’s praise of Ronald Reagan is wholly misplaced. To recap, during the Iran-Contra affair in the 1980s, hostages were not released because of Iran’s fear of Reagan, as McCain suggested. In reality, Iran released them after Reagan administration officials infamously sold arms to the country, which were transfered to Ayatollah Khomeini. As a result, 11 Reagan officials were convicted of crimes.
The Obama people should be hammering on this!
