P.S. Go Cali!

May 16, 2008

As long as I’m being a bit controversial tonight, I just want to say a big “hooray” to the California Supreme Court for legalizing gay marriage today — and send a big plea to Californians to NOT sign the petitions (hugely funded by the far-right) to get a prop on the ballot to strike it down.

Enough inequality.  Enough discrimination.  Enough energy wasted trying to stop others from having rights.  I don’t understand why opponents care so much, how it harms them in any way.  I really don’t.

Oh, I may get flamed for bringing up this hot topic, but I don’t care.  I’m sure proud of my state tonight for having enough.

    Yes! California took a step that should be considered long overdue in this country. We need the rest of the country to join in and put this in place everywhere now. We need to devote our time and energy to all the work we really need to do immediately and stop wasting energy on debating that equal rights are still a question for some people. Really! We have been there, done that, and learned that things get better not worse when we all share in the same rights. This should be automatic by now. No one gets hurt by stopping discrimination. No one will suffer or lose anything because someone else has the same rights you do.

    If you want to know the one thing George Bush did that was GOOD, let me know. I have been searching and I found it. We should all be saying “THANK YOU” for the times we are in at this moment. All is good. We can make it so much better.

    Love and Peace

Monthly Quote

A good teacher is a master of simplification and an enemy of simplism. -- Louis A. Berman

Monthly Affirmation

To recognize all I have to learn -- and always will have to learn -- is part of being an evolving person. To analyze the complexities of our world with respect, passion, and often wonder -- to students, children, peers -- is part of my contribution. To honor those who teach me shows that I understand gratitude, and what is most important in this life. REPEAT: I honor my learning, and I honor my teaching. To continue this cycle: that is enough.
