Map of Prop 8 Results by County

The coastal counties from Santa Barbara north, with the exception of San Luis Obispo, and Del Norte at the top of the state held the line against discrimination and propagation of hate, along with Mono, and Alpine along the eastern center of the Sierra. While abysmal Tulare county had the most haters with 75.4% voting yes on hate.

So sorry. CA just dropped fathoms in my esteem. And how does that affect your Halloween nuptials? Maybe you're tired of marriage by now anyway. Does change things.

With Thanksgiving next on the horizon, I've been giving some thought to the Pilgrims. How one worships the Christian God seems like a minor detail these days, but it was a big deal then--big enough to go off and start a new country with nothing more than a few muskets and 300 lbs of butter.

I can't decide whether the latest manifestation of intolerance against people who want peacefully to practice their spiritual beliefs is in conflict with the precepts of the founding fathers or because of it. Puritanism is alive and well, evidently.

Well good luck with it all. I've been reading all the noise and hopefully some positive change will come of it.
