Love, hugs, and lots of kisses to Baby Ryan, Mommy Maryam, Dad Robert and big brothers Milan & Patrick and of course Grandma!!! My guess on Ryan's arrival (predication) was only 23 hours off.

Introducing Google Calendar Labs - http://googleappsposts.blogspot.com/2009...

Dana Franks, l0ckergn0me, W_B_K and 2 other people liked this
It's hard to believe it's been more than three years since we introduced Google Calendar to the world. (It's true, I just checked my calendar.) In that time we've received countless ideas and suggestions, including many from my fellow Googlers, and trying to decide which of those to build can be is difficult. We try to balance usefulness and impact, but often that's not enough. A feature may be useful to only a small handful of people, but to those folks it might be incredibly important. This is especially the case with some of our enterprise customers who are looking for ways to extend Calendar in highly specialized ways that would apply only to their employees. We've been looking for a way to release early features to users in a quick and experimental fashion, but in a way that would let developers and customers outside of Google extend Calendar too. We've seen how successful Gmail Labs has been and decided Calendar deserved Labs too. When you sign in to Calendar today, you'll see a...

What's your favorite note-taking tool? We hope it's Evernote. Lifehacker wants to know: http://twurl.nl/iudsec
Jose Luis Santos, Laurie Woo, Forrest Cox and 28 other people liked this
it's not desktop tool for me. It is webtool called diigo. It's integrated with browser both for taking notes on a web page(annotation) and retrieve them as bookmarks. Yes evernote has a nice OCR technology.
- pankaj
Jott for voice/txt notes. Evernote for pictures of labels, business cards and screen snaps.
- Jay Martin
Google Notebook.
- Morton Fox
It was Google Notebook but I am giving Evernote a go
- Mel Buckpitt
Evernote is it for me now. We're editing the demo now, will be up on Monday. Great stuff.
- Robert Scoble
Evernote definitely has the best functionality, I just haven't been able to push myself to start using it.
- Shey, Jamaican of FF
Gee, sry but it's still a pen and paper.
- Adrienne Van Houten
Adrienne: that's because you haven't seen what Evernote can do.
- Robert Scoble
Notepad. Viva la Old School! Yes. I'm serious.
- Art Lindsey III
Onenote most often, but Evernote is a good clip capture tool.
- Soulhuntre
from twhirl
Evernote - use it every day. Notebooks need to have sections or chapters, and the Mac version needs to add audio recording, but otherwise it's great.
- Dean Terry
best notetaking for me is my moleskine for on hand, and jott when behind the wheel.
- sean808080
Notepad++ largely, but increasingly using Google Notebook.
- Derrick Burns
Evernote. mostly use it to keep track of real estate listings. (used to use OneNote--haven't opened it in months!)
- Jasmin Smith
Franklin organizer. Paper is the best.
- Victor Ryden
Jott for voice notes, Evernote for pictures and text but iPhone produces very blurry and unusable business cards with Evernote so far, needs a focus-adjuster app to be effective.
- Sally Church
Google Notebook. Trying to find practical uses of Evernote. It still doesn't seem to have a collaborating notebooks feature.
- Chris Chua
mindjet mindmanager and moleskin
- adolfo foronda
evernote all the way. rich internet app with clients for most major PC and mobile platforms, and sync to cloud is quick and reliable. text deco of images is a nice bonus. they do need to spend some time observing the list features of OneNote and the search search ux of Spotlight - even the best apps can always improve.
- Jon Price
Right now it's Gmail and IMAP but I am playing with Evernote. I do have concerns though about trusting my info with your cloud. You're doing all the right things. It's just that you're new and I need to get to know you. I trust Gmail.
- Steve Rubel
Vim! In second place comes Mousepad. Third place is "cat - > note.txt".
- Rishabh Mishra (p248)
Evernote is a great service/app, but I still find I can write faster in OneNote.
- Rafe Needleman
what about notepad++
- Eric
Rafe: I'd be convinced if you could get me OneNote on my iPhone.
- Robert Scoble
Evernote + Reqall is a killer combo on the iPhone/Web/Everywhere
- Nicholas Molnar
Google Notebook on computer, Jott when mobile.
- Ian May
I love Google Notebook, need to find a good mobile alternative.
- Rahaf Harfoush
Honestly, a moleskine notebook and a decent pen. A recent development for me, but it's working great. I get WAY too distracted taking notes on a computer where there are so many fun things I could be doing with my spare seconds! :-)
- Josh Bancroft
I have a voice recorder on my mp3 player and on my phone, but I still mainly use a moleskine and a box of mechanical pencils. Old school, that's me.
- Steven Perez
While on foot, it's either my Nokia N95 8GB or my Moleskine, but with computer access it's either Evernote or Google Docs.
- Niklas Pivic
from Alert Thingy
Mail.app. Comes pre-installed. Easy to use. Notes are synchronised across all of my devices (Mac Mini, MacBook and iPhone). Notes are also available online via MobileMe. I don't need to wait for any app to launch since I always have Mail.app running anyway.
- Paul Grav
Evernote is great but needs a printer driver and better inking. OneNote is king on TabletPC's for inking. Evernote is king for syncing.
- Andrew Forde
from twhirl
3x5" index cards.

/agree with @Dukeswharf. An S60 client would be awesome. I've been trying to get the imap setup to work but it doesn't seem to want to cooperate.

- Noah David Simon
I didn't get the sense that the parents of the kids did this to push an agenda. The thing that is missed here is that (if I'm reading the article right) this was a bunch of parents and kids showing their appreciation of their teacher on their wedding day. Again, not a thing that would be allowed for a public school teacher (for liability reasons they have to be professionally detached from their kids), but I think it's kind of cool. Oh and considering that this happened in San Francisco? Completely not news

- Bora Zivkovic
@Bora you should write a book on parenting, I'd read it!
- anna sauce
Only people squeamish about their own sexuality equate a wedding with sex - dirty minds? Wedding is a celebration of love. Kids understand love. Only old pervs are reminded of sex when they attend a wedding.
- Bora Zivkovic
and Bora there is a huge difference between you teaching sex and a person with 20 or 30 kids teaching it. sex should be taught one on one. not in public. sex education is a cruel joke on kids. @Bora well I guess Obama is ur man... he loves teaching sex ed to five year olds. these kids are going 2b more messed up then Generation X
- Noah David Simon
But they're not teaching sex by bringing them to a wedding... it's not like the women had sex during the ceremony.
- heather ♥s fauns on mars.
Only a perverse mind would equate a wedding with sex education. And yes, Obama is my man because that bill you are referring to is a bill that would protect small kids from sexual perverts, from people who are so sick and depraved they see sex in everything, even in the most beautiful events in a person's life.
- Bora Zivkovic
public displays of affection... the kids will emulate it. there is little explaination for these kids. look at the faces... they don't know what to make of it when they aren't being trained
- Noah David Simon
Just to be clear on two things: (1) a charter school is a public school; it just has a charter that relaxes certain educational requirements. (2) from the article: "As is the case with all field trips, parents had to give their permission and could choose to opt out of the trip. Two families did. Those children spent the duration of the 90-minute field trip back at school with another first-grade class, the interim director said."
- Mistletoe Glen
I guarantee Noah that no one is teaching sex education to 6 year olds.
- Alex Scoble
you can't opt out of all the kids talking about it. this is hypocrisy on so many levels http://digg.com/politic...
- Noah David Simon
Again, equating this with sex education is completely bogus.
- Alex Scoble
Maybe Noah's imagination was going wild- if they kiss, what else happens... orgy ensues. Sorry I'm getting silly. Except for a school's questionable "school activities" - going to a gay or straight wedding seems a stretch for me as a 'teachable moment in civil rights." But hey- charter schools are like that.
- anna sauce
Humans are beautiful. Human bodies are beautiful. Sex is beautiful. Love is beautiful. Marriage is beautiful. Weddings are beautiful. Being a living, breathing, thinking, mortal animal is beautiful. Why deprive the kids from beauty? Everything at the correct time - weddings are fine at any age, sex later as they get more mature and presented as beautiful, not sinful.
- Bora Zivkovic
And he also missed the part where the students were waiting outside of City Hall, so they wouldn't have seen the newlyweds kiss anyhow...at least not as part of the ceremony.
- Alex Scoble
The first thing a newborn experiences is Mom's kiss. How is a kiss something to hide from kids?

Alex... we don't know where the kids are standing. no imagination... just the video facts. don't want my kid there. don't want my kid in that school where the kids are talking about it http://digg.com/politic... I DRAW THE LINE... the fact that 2 children opted out also tells you something
- Noah David Simon
And even if the kids are talking about it, unless they already HAVE had some sort of talking-to about sex, their minds just aren't going to go there. I have a sister in *third* grade who wouldn't equate "marriage" with "oh my god, SEX!"
- heather ♥s fauns on mars.
Parents were able to opt out, as the article reads. A parent came up with the idea. None of the children were forced. The idea that gay marriage, and gay couples as something "we don't want our kids to learn" is completely homophobic. I mean I don't get a choice about my kids being taught that marriage between a man and a woman is "normal". If I'm not careful, they'll get exposed to heterosexuality. I don't know what I'd do if my son decides to start experimenting with girls!!
- B. Hatin
It's sad that you draw the line there. It stunts your kids emotional development. I hope they recover later with a help of peers and other responsible adults who are not squeamish about naturalness of human life.

My "liking" of this applies to the article, not the attached pro-Prop8 rhetoric. Teaching children that people who love each other enough to commit for life is a reality is NEVER a bad thing. As Bora said, love is never a bad thing.

Oh, I see, the Rove style of politics: a lie repeated enough times becomes the truth. If you read the linked post, it is not about design - it is about organic evolution of the society, including its institutions, including marriage, to fit the people's need. Design imposed by a 'designer' is always flawed. Design that evolves to fit a need usually is much more optimal. If you are an engineer - FAIL:

- Bora Zivkovic
@Bora ++ I think that it's a homophobic thing Another Noah is saying, that witnessing two women kiss is "sex education." It's an expression of feeling. And hooters != marriage. You keep conflating pornography and exploitation of women in businesses with commitment ceremonies and rituals of our society, like funerals. That, to me, is more disturbing than your fears of seeing homosexuals express their feelings.
- anna sauce
Anna I don't want children experiencing sexuality at a young age. Hetero or Homo. I don't want it. gay marriage evolves into nothing but a win for a Conservative. Bora, It is not engineering, it is masturbation when there is no effect but one's loss of DNA to the next generation or at best a weak link to succession. this isn't rhetoric... this is the reality of our society. whenever GAY MARRIAGE is brought up a Conservative wins the election. so maybe it is good design after all. natural selection
- Noah David Simon
...but I don't celebrate weakness of others. I don't encourage it. I like pornography, but I don't celebrate it as a productive element of my life. it is means to survival. certainly homosexuality is part of life. it is part of the pattern... it isn't the winning solution. it is part of our culture. it is the pattern... but it is not where we should encourage our goals. marriage is in fact a goal. it is an initiation of the cycle of life

nothing wrong with gay sex Bora... you said that. not me. it doesn't hurt me unless I am not monogamous and then I might be concerned with how easily illness spreads through anal sex. but it is not something that I would pass a law against because the responsibility is partly on me for having multiple sex partners
- Noah David Simon
What? I said what? Of course there is nothing wrong with gay sex. Or gay marriage. Or kids attending a wedding. It is you who has problems with all of that, seeing sex everywhere and seeing sex as something dirty and to be ashamed of.

This is like debating a Creationist! Or a Republican. Can't nail them in one place to stay on one topic for a second. You talk about A, they ask "how about B" - a game a whack-a-mole. They win arguments by attrition, not reason, facts or logic.

- anna sauce
The needs of kids are to be raised in the world as it is, appreciating life and naturalness of it, warts and all, beauty and all. Needs of kids are not met if they are shielded or lied to or indoctrinated into bigotry. Lying to kids is bad for parents as well - when the Real World hits them on the head, kids come back and ask you "why did you lie to me?"
- Bora Zivkovic
even your language is coded from San Francisco. EXAMPLE: two definitions of attrition (1) sorrow for one's sins that arises from a motive other than that of the love of God (2) the act of weakening or exhausting by constant harassment, abuse, or attack ...you assume it is definition two, but in fact it is your code that is holding you back from seeing the truth. children need to see the truth... sure. but that truth has limitations. your coded language assumes pure transparency. you are hypocrites

- Bora Zivkovic
Bora... I am neither a Christian or Cartesian. projection indeed. your label of conservative is only as good as it's relativity. my world was NYC and LA. conservative would be socialism. btw Marx believed in gender
- Noah David Simon
Now you're incoherent. There is no paradox and the only paradox you exposed is your stopping at the Piegatian stage of emotional development somewhere at the age of 7 or so, before being capable of distinguishing one's person from one's belonging to a bigger group - initially the family, later the religion, ideology, party, sports team or nation. Thus, criticism of the group's ideas are perceived as personal attacks.
- Bora Zivkovic
And, due to projection, attacks on others are done in the form of attacks on groups, with a silly notion that the other will be offended. How could I possibly be offended by your gibbersih about Marx or socialism or NYC and LA? Those were intended to make me defensive, but they only make me laugh. In order to make me huffy, you need to find something factually true about myself that I personally do not like about myself and pounce on that. Otherwise, attacks on groups you think I belong to have no power
- Bora Zivkovic
my dog got attacked. had to leave the argument to skunk bath. but stinking is not just a canine quality: it reeks around here of paradox. you speak projection when you call basic Marxist knowledge gibberish. you've been drinking the KOOLAID for so long that you don't even know the artificial flavor of it.

the only thing you know is that I oppose gay marriage. this could be for myriad of reasons. it is you who are projecting. because I never gave any moral reasons against this besides the survival of the species. the details of this are pointless to go into. children are important. their natural environment is essential.
- Noah David Simon
There is no other reason to oppose gay marriage but homophobic bigotry. And, Christian knowledge is not something to be respected - on any topic whatsoever. If it is possible to get something wrong, Christians get it wrong. Two millennia of idiocy collected a lot of crap which they are incapable of ridding themselves of. And, of all the topics in the world, they got sexuality the worst - they are the most sexually hung-up and perverse group in history (and various other religions as well).

Luckily, Holland is a small country so effects are going to be minimal.

The lack of good rail system of any kind in the US is a travesty. I've never understood why that was the case. One would think you could be proud of a good rail system.

regardless of the underlying intentions (socialism, liberalism, etc.) hasn't the time for universal healthcare and mainstream mass transportation finally come. I mean dammit people, stop the excuses and get some work done.

I think the biggest problem in the US is the sheer size of cities.

- Brian Sullivan
actually, the malaise in the british rail system dates to when the state took over them during the 40's. A lot of stations and routes were loss making but paid for by the more profitable. When the government took control they began a systematic shutdown and withdrawl of funding from the system until its eventual re-privatisation. The only problem is that the system is in such bad need of funds that private companies now running it don't want to invest and are simply milking it for all the money they can get

@alphaxion: So, at least the government kept whatever lines were more or less profitable up and running, doing maintenance and planning. After privatization, the maintenance and planning part got dropped, since it is by far the most expensive, without having a clear ROI. Private companies are always gonna be looking at the bottom line and with a vast operation like a country-wide infrastructure to maintain it's not gonna look good.

Um..how come there's no mention of Amtrak? The challenge isn't just getting govt. to set up a mass transit system but also getting folks to use it.

Believe me, Robert, you don't want these. I'm from Hungary and I know what I'm talking about. Social healthcare sucks... Even if you live a totally healthy life, you pay the same insurance as those who smoke and drink all day long. (And get the same service)
- Berci Mesko, MD

- Leonard Boord
@Berci Mesko and those who drive and those who eat too much or badly, exercise too little, have sport injuries, unprotected sex, have dangerous and stressful jobs etc if we start thinking in those terms not many people would be entitled to healthcare at all. Personally I prefer not to judge and have universal healthcare combined with decent education and prevention plans
- M F
I am from the government I am here to cure you....
- Leonard Boord
Just a question: Is it really true that the current system in the US means that people who take care of themselves and use little healthcare don't subsidize those who are less healthy? Given the high costs of basic insurance I find that almost impossible to believe but it would be interesting to know some facts especially when these 'socialized' vs 'whatever we call it' comparisons are being made.
- Robin Barooah
@Robin: as far as I know everyone has Medicare tax withheld form their paycheck even if they are not insured throug Medicare. (I may be wrong though.)
- Rene Wirtz
@M F: I understand, but having universal healthcare means you get an average service no matter how hard you work in life. Nurses, doctors have an incredibly low income compared to those working in the US. The whole system is far overloaded and nobody has time for you. I know there are serious problems in the US healthcare system as well, but I don't think you really want socialized medicine. Though, you should give it a try yourself. :)
- Berci Mesko, MD
From what I have experienced (I grew up in the UK, and now live in the US) neither 'ideological extreme' is particularly great. There are some aspects of healthcare that make it difficult to run from a purely capitalistic perspective - i.e. accidents happen to even the most careful people, demand can potentially be infinite, etc, and at the point of use there is no market and consumers are vulnerable...
- Robin Barooah
...and there are aspects that make it difficult to run from a purely 'socialized' perspective - i.e. a lowest common denominator service may limit quality of life unfairly, those who take care of themselves end up responsible for those who don't, demand is potentially infinite, metrics are hard and medical decisions become politicized etc.
- Robin Barooah
To me this means that our tools are too blunt to solve the problem as one thing. Either we need more sophisticated tools (which I don't see), or the complex problem needs to be broken down into simpler ones that we can solve with out blunt tools (which I think is eminently possible). I believe that Obama is sophisticated enough to recognize this. Whether or not he can implement it given the vested interests he has to work with is the real test.
- Robin Barooah
In the 19th century, the US built an incredible rail system that tied the nation together, all with private money. The entrepreneurs are now called "Robber Barons". It's little wonder that private enterprises doesn't want to step up again.
- Robert Hafer
@Berci Mesko I live in Britain, I'm familiar with a national health service free to the point of service, with all its faults.Having said that I don't want to put my health and trust in the hands of a company that thinks about its profit first, I don't want them to do unnecessary procedures when I have plenty of money (as has had happened in some private clinics in Europe) and deny me care when I need it the most. And I don't want anyone else to be in that position.
- M F
what is interesting -- how many people have opinions on socialism/socialists, while context they mention reveals they have either little or no clue about true socialism and how those historical examples of *socialism* were far from schoolbook definitions... and then-love-now-hate from ex-little-cousins in Central Europe looks like they hasn't learned lessons of history, rather go the opposite way (hint - negation is not productive and helps only in very short term).
- A.T.
@M-F and Berci: some countries in Western Europe have adopted a two tiered system: 1) base care, including prevention, pharmaceuticals and dental, for everyone (everyone pays for it, everyone can benefit from it) and 2) for an extra premium you can add more specialized items to the base insurance, like private hospital rooms or extended dental plan or prolonged manual therapy. This way, everyone has the same base insurance coverage and for those who can afford it, they can get a better or broader coverage.
- Rene Wirtz
@alphaxion Europe is a lot more compact than the US. so don't hold your breath about getting a transit system for everyone. Health care is so expensive because of insurance. Our economic system is a house of cards - one that is on the verge of tumbling down. More government is never a solution; it always adds to the problems. Real solution is growing food & shopping locally, supporting communities, decentralizing. That is in OUR best interest but not the best interests of the global economy's plutocracy.
- Internet Strategist
Transit is partially affected by population density, exclusive of politics. The western U.S. differs greatly from Europe, though I will grant that European nations discourage auto use more, thus incentivizing mass transit.

Perhaps it's appropriate to note that when the whole polygamy affair was happening in Texas in 2008, a couple of the Mormons on FriendFeed took great pains to note that the FLDS (who believes in polygamy) is in no way connected to the LDS (who renounced polygamy over 100 years ago).

I'm not Mormon, but as Ontario said, I've spent a lot of time studying Mormonism and its offshoots. My understanding is that there are actually a lot of Mormons and even some polygamous households who watch the show regularly. For one thing, the writers skip most of the religion behind the Principle and focus on the culture, so neither side feels attacked. And it shows something unknown by most- most polygamous households are "independent Mormons" and live in the Salt Lake City area in relative peace.
- Dana Franks
I do wish they'd go to more trouble to explain what's different about the Mormon wedding ceremony (yes, even the mainstream one) and what makes them believe they are doing God's will by building as big of a family as possible so they can be bound to each other through eternity. Their beliefs on heaven are very different than Protestants and Catholics.
- Dana Franks
As a Mormon, I can tell you that I don't believe in having as big a family as possible nor do most of the Mormon's I know. I'm sure there are some out there. But for every religion you can find some that take things differently. And our beliefs on heaven aren't very different. I'm not sure why you are saying that.

There is no issue with a BlackBerry and archiving email under the PRA as a BB is merely an "extension" of Outlook in that the handheld merely reads email within Exchange. I think, as the article somewhat mentioned but failed to go too in-depth about, is like what Steve just mentioned: the potential security issue surrounding POTUS sending email. However, this should be relatively easy to solve using the right mix of PKI and other industry standard information security mechanisms. Govt adoption is the Q.
- Scott Jarkoff
If a President says or writes something that is recordable - and technology is irrelevant, it could be a magnetophone and 8-track - it can be subpoenad by Congress.

Bora++ This is the same reason Bush gave up his personal email back in 2000, and why, to many historians regret, the Presidents have stopped keeping personal diaries. The threat of subpoena is so powerful (and Congress so enjoys leaking information) that it's just not practical to keep those records (I once thought of creating an online diary system in Bermuda or something so VIPs could keep diaries outside of legal claims, but never got around to it).
- Andrew Leyden
"facebook generation" has nothing to do with the actual Facebook site, or with a particular age - it is a shorthand term for a mindset of openness in communication.

What is new is that Obama is the first President with that mindset, as opposed to a bubble-boy, smoke-filled back-rooms, secretive types that the previous 43 Presidents were. The laws, customs and trappings of his new job are going to be conflicting with his modern instincts towards openness.

@Bora, during this campaign, and past campaigns, when he faces questions he doesn't like, such as the ones about his past and his experiences, he either answers vaguely or untruthfully, or shuts down the questioner.

People don't realize the legal ramifications of not having legal protection like this. Securing the 'sanctity of marriage' between a man and woman IN A CHURCH is fine with me. But those outside the Church should be treated just like any other citizen with the same freedoms we have.
- Douglas Karr

Then the State should not call legal unions that it sanctions marriage. It should be some other legal mechanism, and marriages should be left to churches. http://friendfeed.com/e...
- ComicList
BS. Marriage is not a religious institution - it predates organized religion by at least many tousands of years. Besides, they aren't looking for churches to redefine their definition of marriage. Churches are still free to be as intolerant and bigoted as they always have been. They are looking for the same legal rights in the eyes of the law as hetero people enjoy. Anything less is discrimination. Period.
- Maverick

@Maverick, calling all churches bigoted and intollerant is also intollerance and bigoted. A lot of religious people have no issue with gay marriage. Tollerance isn't an argument you can stand on if you're also intollerant, and a generalized, assumptious statement like yours to me is just that. It's not a sword you can use but then not also practice.
- Patricia
Have any of you actually read what that protest is advocating? A militant and thereby violent protest will significantly harm your cause. It will turn people who support you against you and set back your cause by decades. Once you go down that road, there's no turning back.
- Chris Mayer
@Chris, I agree. I'm not a fan of the approach either. I voted NO on 8, but for me violence, hate, is not the answer to anything.
- Patricia
@Patricia I didn't call churches intolerant and bigoted, I said they are free to act that way if they want too. By not allowing same-sex marriage, they are demonstrating that they are exactly that but it's really not relavent to the conversation anyway as what they gay and lesbian community is looking for is LEGAL recognition of their union, not religious recognition.
- Maverick
@Maverick, you said: Churches are still free to be as intolerant and bigoted as they always have been. That's very generalized. I'm Christian. Should I not vote for gay marriage next time, or disown my gay, married relative? Not all people of the church are against gay marriage, bigoted or intollerant and neither are all churches.
- Patricia
I think that my point was very clear that it is not a religious issue, it's a legal issue. Clearly I wasn't referencing churches that are allowing same-sex marriages, but yes the others are intolerant. I don't see any problem with stating the obvious.
- Maverick
@maverick, a generalized comment references everything. Nothing in your statement said anything about specific churches, and that's the damaging thing. I could state the obvious about a lot of things and be angry, but the truth is, that doesn't seem to be very effective in truly changing anything.
- Patricia
Maverick, then turn that legal union into a purely legal union, and stop calling it marriage. Marriage was created by God, who predates organized religion by eternity. There's nothing bigoted or intollerant about believing the Word of God, but I can understand how that belief might seem odd to you.
- ComicList
Charles: Marriage was not "created" by God. Marriage was created by two individuals who wanted to unite in a deep and meaningful relationship built on the love they shared for each other. Whether that was Adam and Eve, or Joe the Man and Stacy the Woman, is irrelevant. But I don't think God created the concept of marriage.
- Eric Geller
Churches that supported this amendment lost track of their purpose. Christians should never seek to be exclusionary, yet that's exactly what they celebrated. To be fair, it wasn't just the LDS contingent. Many evangelicals, particularly Baptists were as vocal and incendiary.
- Karoli
Churches shouldn't seek to be exclusionary? Christian churches should always reach out to sinners, but should never condone or accept sin.
- ComicList
Maybe we can get an answer on this thread Charles: what about 3 or 4 people in a committed relationship? Does that count? Or is the arbitrary number 2?
- Craig Eddy
So how does funding, advocacy and celebrating Prop 8 square with reaching out? It accomplishes exactly the opposite.
- Karoli
There's positively no reason a church should support actions it deems to be a sin, nor should it be surprising that one would support a law that suppresses actions it deems to be a sin. Just because one opposes the act doesn't mean one hates the actor.
- Craig Eddy
Wall between church and state goes both ways. Just as state cannot dictate to churches, neither should churches dictate to state, nor advocate for discriminatory legislation that fits their theological outlook.
- Karoli
Karoli: the First Amendment says no such thing. It's freedom OF religion, not freedom FROM religion. And I believe it was the citizens of California that voted, not the churches.
- Craig Eddy
Craig, in the "family llc" that I have proposed, I have said several times it would be any number of people of any gender. I haven't worked out how children would fit into all this, however.
- ComicList
Charles: right, and I agree with that on the grounds that the number (2) is just as "arbitrary" as saying that the gender mix (man/woman) is arbitrary. But I don't think I've had an opponent of Prop 8 answer my query as to "how many".
- Craig Eddy
Karoli, I agree churches should spend money on tasks other than state propositions, but not because it isn't "reaching out."
- ComicList
@CharlesLePage That's not outreach. It's faceslapping. Using public laws and the airwaves to condemn an entire group of people is in no way outreach. Well, maybe outreach for sinning masochists.
- Karoli
By the way, how does freedom of religion translate to interference in state law?
- Karoli
Ummm, how does one say a church shouldn't advocate for its beliefs? Because if it can't, what good is it? And if you write laws to neuter that, rendering the church impotent, then haven't you enforced de-facto freedom FROM religion?
- Craig Eddy
By advocacy, I am specifically referring to authorship, sponsorship and expenditure of tax-exempt dollars to pass laws which are probably unconstitutional.
- Karoli
Politics and church should not mingle. Church and "being slightly off norm" are not compatible but church is joined by choice. Constitution safeguards the norm and the "slightly off norm" because choice of birthplace is not involved. Hence church and Constitution can not interact. In this case they did. The whole train of state came to a grinding halt. Looking in from the (distant) outside I'd say the US has made a dangerous step regardless of the issue at hand.
- Henk de Kruyff
What makes a "church" any different from, say, a labor union?
- Craig Eddy
@CraigEddy constitutional protection. simple as that.
- Karoli
Karoli, do we have evidence that tax exempt dollars were used to pass a law?
- ComicList
This is another reason the State should not define churches and churches should not have tax exempt dollars.

I hope those who ban gay marriage will one day know what its like to lose some rights of their own. How 'bout we choose THEIR fate?

Alphaxion - Not that I agree, but I think a lot of the people who use the Bible as the justification for their hatred of homosexuality point to the story of Sodom and Gomorrah, wherein God wiped out two entire cities over his disgust at their lack of morals (and explicitly sexual "deviations" including homosexuality).

If it's fine for a straight person to do something, why isn't it fine for a gay person to do the same thing? That's like saying white people can't get married, but it's okay for black people to get married. And those of Asian decent can only get married to other Asians. WTF? No. It's wrong, pure and simple.
- l0ckergn0me

It's all to do with religion: IMO the religious infighting going on in the western world needs to stop. people should have a right to be as they are rather than as someone else's religion says they should be.
- Sharron Field
from twhirl
the thing is tho, yeah there was the story of those two places, but where does it say "hate them and take away their rights to be equal citizens"? The hate is coming from somewhere else. They also totally ignore the new testament that tries to tell people to love each other regardless of who or what they are. There is something else powering their bigotry and they use bullshit like religion to mask it.

Personally, I don't know why the religious fanatics don't just sit back and wait for the fire and brimstone to start flying again. Don't they think He can still bring it?

I've read about those who want to let them do something that is effectively identical but give it another name - civil partnership. The best analogy that I have heard was from Madge Weinestine. "That's like saying only whites get to be called president, so Obama will have to be called chancellor". If it were race there would be no excuses.. but have the gall to love someone of the same gender and it's perfectly fine?
- alphaxion
You know what sucks? Growing up, I never thought marriage would be an option for me. I'd be a confirmed bachelor and have a cat and houseplants. Having the right to marry be right there, and then snatched away...if it happened to you, you'd be outraged. Strip away, politics, religion, Biblical verse, etc. Being a "have-not" sucks, and its wrong.

My estimation of McCain has gone down even further. Sarah Palin is a rube who didn't belong in the veep slot but it's not like she forced her way into that role. It looks like the McCain campaign is trying to blame the entire loss on her - and that is supremely sh***y. Did the fact that she not know simple geography not come up in their vetting? She may be an idiot but that makes them even bigger idiots for choosing her in the first place.
