I believe marriage is between a man and a woman and I believe we ought to codify that one way or the other and we have lawyers looking at the best way to do that,"

"I am mindful that we're all sinners and I caution those who may try to take a speck out of the neighbor's eye when they got a log in their own,"

"I think it is important for our society to respect each individual, to welcome those with good hearts. "On the other hand, that does not mean that someone like me needs to compromise on the issue of marriage..."

when i sin it doesnt mean that thousands of people die in combat or are kicked off welfare rolls, but still im a filthy sodomite so it doesnt matter, does it.

a year ago my mother had major surgery, and tonight she went into the hospital. shes fine, with gravol and tyelnoal 3s there will be no problems tonight but still concern and fury at how little she tells me.

obscure 20th century poetics are inapporite reading for 1 am in an emergency room.
the ft sask er waiting room looks like a greyhound bus station ca 1956

One of every 15 inmates is a woman. Forty- six percent of those behind bars are African-American, 36 percent are white and 16 percent are Hispanic. Nearly one in every 10 black men between the ages of 25 and 29 is in prison, compared to 1.1 percent of whites and 2.9 percent of Hispanics in the same age group.

Be the first to the Lowell Mass. Baseball game on Jack Kerouac night, and get a bobblehead doll of the author. I hope that it is of the fat and sodden drunk who turned ever so reactionary in his parents basement.

Or maybe they could have one of Neal Cassady--lo&behold- guilt ridden catholic homosex.

When two women kiss on television, with the tag line "Do Men Deserve it" is it dykslpotation or something else entirely, my first instincts are that ad is meant for men, and treats lesbians as cheap exotics, but am unsure.

I am reading Olsons poetic reflections on Moby Dick right now, and they are so difficult. He talks above his reader, both in context and in symbol sets (maybe not every reader, maybe just me) But the langauge is so rich and the syntax so wonderfully gnarled, that i am gaining much from it.

Seadris is reading the book itself and having as hard a time, and is punishing himself until he can finish.

As a good catholic i cannot advocate Abortion, but I think that for most it is a descion of social and economic nessicity. Those who tend to terminate pregancies do so because the support after birth is so limited, and prenatally it is not much better.

To view killing the hope of children must be intensely destructive, but it is a choice that needs to be done, because more options are always better and because it is better for these actions to be done safely and hygenically rather then in back allys with coat hangers.

In this sense, Warren Buffets quiet campaign for reproductive freedom is to be encouraged.

A Colorado High School student calls his principal a fucking faggot, and he gets punishment. In response, he sues the principal on first amendment grounds.
His PD has written a great sociopoltical history of one of the words, mentioning everything he could in context ofd the arguements. What he did miss was the faggot. If i was prosecuting this case, I would concentrate on that slur, which does not have a long case history that makes it acceptable.

Bush is taking most of August off for some reason (i think that he would have wanted to stay in Washington so that he could fight terrorism), but before he does the Washington Post wants him to go solo on a Press conference.

Now he hasnt done so since March, letting everything be handled by Press Secetaries or answering a couple questons on the fly but the democratic barrage from reporters seems to have been avoided.

If i was inarticulate as Bush, talking to Reporters, who have their own agendas, would be worrisome.

Do you think hes going to do it ?

Franz Gehry needs to have his computer aided drafting equipment taken away, so that he can longer produce buildings that overwhelm the space, are gaudy, showly, badly consrtucted and entirley about style over substance.

The latest atrocity (following Bilboa which is losing its scales, and EMP which is the ugliest buliding i have seen) is the King Alfred Center in Hove, UK.

His design has nothing to do with the history or Hove, or the surrounding sea, or the other people who live in the town, or what the King Alfred center was.

It is a hack job for his ego.

about gay themed television


well, dont you know, us faggots have an agenda. its to make every breeder everywhere drop children and opposite sexed spouse and to come live with us.

the first step in this operation is to let them watch us on television, cause nothing says homosex is fun more then the three charachters that actually exisist in prime time.

after that, pop music, movies and interpertive dance.

in months sodoms orgies will happen everywhere, and god will destroy the world.

Gods Chosen People continue a long tradition of killing children



(this may be in bad taste, anti semetic, and perhaps offensive to the traditions of hatred that include rumours of blood sacrifice, i am so raw at the thought of killing 4 year olds that i thought the bitterness was required.)

Drugs that change brain chemstriy have become so common that using them to correct usual and non organic brain disorders are common. (say no to drugs except when perscribed by hacks)

eli lily (you know them by prozac which they remarketed to women, the price gouged azt, etc) has now gotten premission to give human growth hormanes to children who are on the low end median of average height.

femminist readings have discussed prozac as a way to turn dissatisfaction about ones place in the world has a chemical problem, easily changed by approprite drugs, and this can also be considered with children--this adds another bizzarre and disturbing layer to this kind of social engineering.
