Elephant sized turds hitting jet turbine engines

So.

Yeah.

I haven't really paid much attention to the hullabaloo concerning Prop 8. In fact, I'm kind of nervous because I'm going to a call center tomorrow on behalf of the Protect Marriage, Peeps! because I don't know much beyond the fact that it is something I don't agree with.

As I have been brought up to date by reliable sources, I realize that there is a wake of disaster like unto Godzilla on Tokyo damages--maybe even the Robot Godzilla!

There are interesting words being thrown around: bigot, hate, Nazi, bleep, bleep, bleep, death, bleep, persecution, discrimination, prejudice, homo-a-cide (I made that last one up)...

The difficult thing is to not get into a big discussion because there are many, many facets with angry, emotional feelings.

Things involved: Freedoms (the kind Norman Rockwell paints about), "Separation" of "Church" and "State" (quotations were added; not for dramatic effect), America...but alas, it's just too much and there is but too little of time. I would like to contribute by posting a copy of a death threat that was going around and placed on people's doors in SoCal.

Reader discretion is advised...because as with suicide threats, death threats should be taken with caution. I hope this man does not make good on his promises because of the following:

#1 Killing people is not kosher.
#2 Murder is still against the law.
#3 It's called "Man"-slaughter not because men kill men because it can involve females too but really, should we reword it just as Slaughter so that it is gender neutral...where is the Prop on that?
#4 It's hard to take him seriously when he uses bad grammar and poor spelling.
#5 We're sending people like him overseas to represent America?

I once questioned the wording a gay man used once because he called his partner by the word partner. The interesting thing about this relationship is that not only have they been together for a long time, they are completely monogamous and faithful to each other. I asked him why he does not use the word "husband." He replied that he was not married to this man. I asked why he didn't choose to go somewhere that legalizes same-sex marriages. His response was that marriage is when a man marries a woman.

I wasn't expecting that answer.

Apparently my gay friend and his partner are not truly homosexual because they have a different operational definition about marriage.

But...back to the death threat letter...here is my favorite response to it after it had been posted online on a news site:

What a dreadfully written letter.

Murderous hate is bad enough. Incoherent, grammatically-incoherent venting is simply inexcusable.

I was on the fence. Now? I'll vote Yes on 8 just to spite the fool who penned that screed.

That's right, Hate Nazi - if Proposition 8 passes, know that at least one Yes vote came directly because of your fascist, ignorant threats.

The Iraq vets I know are men and women of honor. You? Not so much. You certainly don't understand the Constitution you swore to protect and defend if you're advocating CRUCIFIXION for those who want to cast a vote you disapprove of.
