Fw: Fw: [QUAD-L] election

[William Willis]

Democracy indeed. The "majority" ruled in Germany in 1940. They expressed their opinions and the minority lived with the results.

The people voiced their opinion by voting. The minority live with the results. I live in a "blue" state. The most of the people I voted for didn't get in. Some of the propositions I voted "no" on passed. I can either live with it or move to an area where more people share my views and values.

I'm not saying it's right or wrong it's just different. If the country said the disabled were limited to only marry another disabled person you guys might see it different because we're outcast as much as anyone. I've seen people damn near run into walls fearing to actually come in contact with me. I see nothing wrong with defining that a "marriage" is a union between one man and one woman. I do agree that the measure in Ohio went too far because it bans any "legal status for relationships of unmarried individuals that intends to approximate the design, qualities, significance or effect of marriage." But people thought it should be left to the individual states to decide and that's how the people in the state of Ohio voted. ---- Jim Lubin               [EMAIL PROTECTED] Bothell, WA, USA      http://makoa.org/jim disAbility Resources: http://www.makoa.org Transverse Myelitis Association: http://www.myelitis.org/HowToHelp
