All the Interiors

Captain says:
I see what you’re up to
Don’t think that I don’t
Captain says:
You’re just too strange
To fit into my America
Captain says:
You can have all the Interiors
But the Exteriors are mine
Captain says:
Stand up tall
Walk straight

If you live in Washington, don’t forget to vote.
I suggest: Yes on 71 to protect Civil Unions
and No on 1033 because Tim Eyman is a horse’s ass!
Sorry Captain, Only comic book heros should have to have secret identities, not real people.

Busy, Busy, Busy

No excuse, but I've been pretty busy at work lately building software.

So I haven't been blogging that last couple of days.

I saw the CA Supreme Court decision to keep Prop-8. It kind of sucks, but the court also described a path for finally legalizing same-sex unions while letting the religious keep the word "marriage" to mean what ever they want it to mean. So there should be hope in California, especially if Iowa can get it right.

Here in Washington State we have a new Civil Union Law that gives same-sex couples everything but the label "marriage". Interestingly enough there are groups already trying to overturn it because it lets gay people get married without using the legal terminology. And that freaks them out. They are calling it the "Everything But Marriage Law".

Everybody just needs to remember that what goes around comes around. Let's be respectful of each others' choices as we wade our way through this issue. But I think history proves that trying to keep civil rights away from groups of people is a delaying tactic at best.
