I usually don’t even turn on my computer on Sunday when I am at home. I’m only making an exception for this very busy travel day. But to all of you who have comments pending: we haven’t forgotten you. Betsy isn’t supposed to work on Sunday. None of us are.
Except Ari. He isn’t supposed to work on Saturday.
We will get to your comments tomorrow!
your friend, Dr J
OK, I am finally in a position to do more than post a picture and type a few characters. I’ve been uploading photos to my facebook page all day. Now, I’m on an Amtrack train, from Providence to DC, for a day off from the Summer for Marriage Tour. (I still have tyo figure out how to get the pics from the blackberry to the blog, but that is another story.)

Dr. Ruth Roback, who heads the NOM-financed Ruth Institute, challenged the view that same-sex marriage does not degrade the lives of heterosexual couples.
Once same-sex marriage is made legal, Roback claimed state governments through education, social policies and other means try to force different social mores on the public.
“Marriage is a natural, pre-political institution; same-sex marriage is entirely a creation of the state,” Roback said. “Same-sex marriage is a hostile takeover of civil society by the state.”
