Yes, I do.

In my lifetime (I'm breathing down on 51) I've seen major changes in the way society regards people.

I recall listening to the "grownups" on my Mom's side of the family fret about JFK "turning America over to the Pope", yet last election's inclusion of Lieberman as a candidate caused barely a ripple.

I'm old enough to recall the Mike AI/Carrie/et al of an earlier generation rant about the "liberalactivistjudges" who decided that seperate but equal was a crock of shit and that American citizenship wasn't a racial classification.

The academic distinction between "cultural norms" and "progress" seems to be an artificial (or academic, which is often the same thing one.

PD gay marriage is not about civil rights.... there is no lynching of gays going on in the streets of America.

This is simply social engineering coming from activist judges. This is the only way the liberal agenda can see the light of day. If liberals come straight out and put their agendas in the form of legislation it rarely ever passes.

PD you may be happy now, but those who love by judicial fiat, will also die by it. What happens when judges who don't share your views start creating and making their own laws? It goes both ways.

If we as a society, as a Nation want to change the laws to allow gay marriage, then it should be a legislative issue - there should be debates, and lets have a vote. Judges should not force it down the countries throat by "finding" rights in the Constitition.

It is just like Roe Vs Wade. I am for abortion, I think its none of the Gov'ts business, but the Roe vs Wade ruling is a legal joke.

PD if the US is ready for gay marriage - then get your local represenatives to push it.... We all know this would fail, because the majority of this Country is not ready for gay marriage.
