Legal gay marriage

It's official: Canada's federal government is not going to appeal a court ruling that ordered the definition of marriage to be revised. This means that gay marriages will be legal and fully recognized in Canada. Alberta appears to be fighting it, but the rest of the country is in full support.

I have three thoughts. First, it's about time. Second, I wonder what sort of ripple-effect it will have on the rest of the world. Third, why is this not bigger news? I asked this when the ruling first came down, and I'm asking it now. Once again, I did not learn of this latest development on a news Web site, a newspaper or even on TV news. I learned of it through a friend's online journal.

I am very heartened by this. Its great, great news. I just hope that the same, sane mindset prevails here in the states by the time I am a grandfather.

I was very saddened when California voters decided to add to the state constitution a definition of marriage as a union between one man and one woman. I think the state should get out of the business of who can wed whom.

In my studies of astronomy and philosophy I hold this opinion about the universe, that the Sun remains fixed in the centre of the circle of heavenly bodies, without changing its place; and the Earth, turning upon itself, moves round the Sun. by casino games

It is quite gratifying to feel guilty if you haven't done anything wrong: how nobel! Whereas it is rather hard and certainly depressing to admit guilt and to repent. by free online poker
