However, inertia and apprehension are not legitimate bases for denying same-sex couples due process and equal protection of the laws. Civil marriage is one of the cornerstones of our way of life. It allows individuals to celebrate and publicly declare their intentions to form lifelong partnerships, which provide unparalleled intimacy, companionship, emotional support and security.

• Even apart from the image of a truly merciless God that contradicts everything we can assume from what Jesus says about the Either of the lost, can we be surprised at a time when retributive punishments without an opportunity of probation are being increasingly abandoned in education and penal justice, that the idea not only of a lifelong, but even eternal punishment of body and soul, seems to many people absolutely monstrous.

• Computer literacy is a contact with the activity of computing deep enough to
  make the computational equivalent of reading and writing fluent and enjoyable.

  personal and societal growth, should any less effort be spent to make computing
  a part of our lives?

• Consequently, the only thing I learned in school was typing. In the old days, people like me who don't have college degrees had a hard time thriving in society.
