What's wrong with drinking fountains for black people, if they get the same water? "Separate but equal" never has been. My homosexual friends want to get *married*, not form a corporation. And, if you take away the word and the connotations it carries, then you haven't given them all the same rights. I know I'm not one to stick my nose into the political arguments, but this one strikes close to home. I may be a middle-class straight white guy, but it offends me that people would want to deny something to my friends, just because they're brains are wired differently. Hell, my brain's wired differently -- am I to be told that I can't get married because I have depression? Grah. This issue steams me pretty good. Sorry if I seem belligerent. --Ben ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| This list and all House of Fusion resources hosted by CFHosting.com.
