This morning Gov. Schwarzenegger was on Meet The Press. Tim Russert (the host) asked the Governor about the issue of gay marriages. Without taking a stand on the issue, he made an excellent point. The Gov said a mayor cannot decide to break state law. He then asked a rhetorical question: What should be done if a Mayor decides to hand out drugs or guns.
It is a valid analogy. Some people think more guns are better and others think legalizing drugs is ok too. I agree with M. G. Stinnett. We should not encourage out leaders to break the law. I also like the ideas out here on civil unions for gay couples. Are there drawbacks to civil unions that have not been outlined on this forum? Regards, Bill Cullen Whittier Landlord. REMINDERS: 1.
