If civil unions > give them the same rights what's the difference? There is separate and inequal, and there is not-separate and possibly equal. There is no such thing as separate and equal. We tried that, it didn't work. The idea of "separate but equal" is a convenient way to separate the ideology you don't like so that you can continue to make sure that it's not in fact equal. Doesn't matter what you think as an individual because you're not the final arbiter - the system will ensure that any "separate but equal" treatment of the situation will ultimately result in continued (government-sanctioned) persecution. > Next thing you know they'll want to be referred to as > normal relationships and heterosexual to be called queer. Why would you say that? Have you noticed black people wanting us to reverse the terms black and white? This makes no sense. It's not grounded in any kind of historical examination of human behavior. s. isaac dealey 954.522.6080 new epoch : isn't it time for a change? add features without fixtures with the onTap open source framework http://www.fusiontap.com http://www.sys-con.com/author/?id=4806 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Discover CFTicket - The leading ColdFusion Help Desk and Trouble Ticket application http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=48 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:156841 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
