His ring---her ring---and suffering. the God I grew up serving(well, attempting to serve) gave all humankind the choice between heaven and hell. So ,given the weight of that decision, I naturally assume that everything else falls under the catagory of secondary decisions. I have always taken the stance that when I die and have to answer for your sins----then I'll try to tell you what to do with your life-----until then--it's not my business--as I've got my hands full just looking after my own affairs. the masses frequently vote impulsively--and of course there's my buddy who swears that stupidity reigns supreme. However, I believe that Democracy, with all of it's shortcomings, is still the fairest way to represent the population as a whole. One overlooked aspect of such a vote is the financial ramifications---such as healthcare, ect... for these new unions. And we all know that the economics can rival religious convictions. It's a tricky subject matter to be sure. I find myself in a battle with my upbringings and the fact that I know decent folks on the left as well. In conclusion---I think there is some validity in the rights of the individual state governments. The people effected most should have their vote counted and perhaps people of like mind could gravitate to said areas. I'm trying to understand this based on the experiences that have shaped my being. Until a judgement is rendered--I'm siding with Rodney King: "Can't we all just get along?"
