So do teh gays win in Maine tomorrow?

Eulogy · 11-02-2009, 09:46 PM

I'm not feeling too confident. :-/

ryan patrick · 11-02-2009, 10:13 PM

the off year electorate will complicate this. it's pretty much a toss up. Nate Silver is giving gay marriage the win here though.

JokeyLoki · 11-03-2009, 08:23 AM

It's Maine... I think they will.

bloop · 11-03-2009, 09:00 PM

I hold a conservative theological point of view on homosexual behavior, but I'm sick of gay people being bullied at the ballot box. I hope Maine does the right thing.

I wish the government would get out of the marriage business all together. Civil Unions for everyone.

Eulogy · 11-03-2009, 09:15 PM

yeah well that ain't happening. so failing that, i hope you understand why this is important.

Eulogy · 11-03-2009, 09:40 PM

i'm really not in the mood for you right now

Eulogy · 11-03-2009, 10:45 PM

the mere thought of the majority vote controlling lives of a minority is so wrong and counterintuitive that i don't even know why it has to be addressed.

Nimrod's Son · 11-03-2009, 11:04 PM

so you don't believe in elections

do you even know what an election is?

i'm kind of sick of you telling other states how they should vote when you don't live there and when they choose to disagree with you.

If the issue is control, then what's worse? Being "controlled" by a majority of a group of millions of people? Or being "controlled" by a majority of a group numbering less than a dozen? Say what you will about majority rule, but it's a damn sight better than judicial oligarchy if you're just arguing about the idea of who's controlling who.

ryan patrick · 11-04-2009, 04:33 AM

judicial oligarchy has nothing to do with the matter at hand. the people of Maine voted to overturn a law passed by the legislature and signed by the governor that would have given their fellow citizens equal rights.

9These shall ye eat of all that are in the waters: whatsoever hath fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, them shall ye eat.

10And all that have not fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of any living thing which is in the waters, they shall be an abomination unto you:

11They shall be even an abomination unto you; ye shall not eat of their flesh, but ye shall have their carcases in abomination.

12Whatsoever hath no fins nor scales in the waters, that shall be an abomination unto you.
