• States vote to take away my marriage rights, and even though I don't want to get married, it tends to hurt my feelings. I guess what bugs me is that it was put to a vote in the first place. If you don't want to marry a homosexual, then don't. But what gives you the right to weigh in on your neighbor's options? It's like voting whether or not redheads should be allowed to celebrate Christmas.

• Your love in a cottage is hungry,
  Your vine is a nest for flies-
  Your milkmaid shocks the Graces,
  And simplicity talks of pies!
  You lie down to your shady slumber
  And wake with a bug in your ear,
  And your damsel that walks in the morning
  Is shod like a mountaineer.

• Democrat flaks jump on this like ducks on a June-bug, and in the process themselves reproduce the sick militarism of this culture that automatically valorizes anyone who wears a uniform.
