Yeah

This is too good not to share

It means that I can force churches, in even more blatant contravention of the first amendment, to marry gay couples. Never mind that the federal government, an institution whose only role should be mediation of interactions between states and representation of the states as a whole to the world, has no business in a wedding unless Maryland and Ohio get hitched. Marriage is all wrapped up in federal tax law, so in a parody of, the government gets to participate in the entire life of both members in a married couple, forever. If you want to turn marriage over to contract law, which already has a country-wide body of legal precedent and which does not give a fig what the genders of the parties are, you’re homophobic and probably also sexist.

And, yeah, mostly on Twitter these days [see below].

Ended Summer

It's going to be a near perfect week, made more acute by the fact that summer is short and the surfable days make it even shorter.  I went to a friend's funeral last month and haven't wanted to do anything but be in the water until my body screams.  I don't even mind the pain, as it means I have life.
