…For example, I hear in church all the time about marriage being ordained of God. But I also hear about how the glory of God is intelligence.
Shouldn’t it be against the law for stupid people to get married? What’s more harmful to society - two well-dressed men getting married and settling down, or two idiots tying the knot and cranking out any number of additional idiots?
You should have to pass a harder test to get married than the one we currently have. Essentially, there are but two questions: “How old are you?” and “Is that your sister?” Hell, you could pass this test just by guessing.
There are drawbacks. Most people get married when hormones and youth make them about as dumb as they’ll ever be. So, even a relatively easy test would by default raise the age limit to about 40.
With an increased marriage age limit, there would be fewer births. Genealogy would become easier to do. With fewer births, there would be fewer children born gay. Hey, isn’t that what Heavenly Father would want?
OK, I was just kidding about that. But if you’re really serious about putting a stop to gay sex, let them get married.
and another long road to secure equal rights for everyone.
“Proposition 8 would be a terrible mistake for California,” Sen. Dianne Feinstein said in a “No on Prop. 8″ ad in the final week of the campaign. “It’s about discrimination, and we must always say no to that.”
Every year after Sasquatch I come away with a deeper appreciation of a particular band but not till after I re-listen to their music. Last year I only fell in love with Arcade Fire after seeing them live and after another listen to their albums.
It took awhile for me to appreciate The Cure’s performance this year at Sasquatch; mainly because now I can match the songs they played there to their new album. One particular song “Underneath the Stars”, played as the opening song at Sasquatch, was very moving. Being literally underneath the stars that night, I long to experience that moment again.

A couple years ago I was disappointed that there wasn’t a plug in for Rhapsody that would allow track submission to Last.fm; I’ve been out of the loop since then but I recently discovered that Last.fm can receive Rhapsody track submissions via either a hosted solution: Rhobbler or a downloadable tool: Rhapsody Scrobbler.
Rhapsody Scrobbler can submit tracks either by monitoring your MyRhapsody RSS feed or by monitoring the client. I am using the Rhobbler tool myself (Rhapsody Scrobbler tends to quit itself out on my computer anyway; might be a .NET framework issue?)
It’s neat how 360voice can auto-blog my xbox; cute entries, way better than anything I’ve ever written here http://www.360voice.com/tag/saltywet
Rock Band 2 came out on Sunday, played a couple hours; so far so fun, more of the same- can’t complain. Maybe once I get better I’ll get a goodwoodmod set; good reviews so far, less expensive than the ION set.
Cindy bought a Yamaha YPG-625 so I look forward to learning piano too. I’ll post pics when she gets it
