A hot girl who likes chicken sandwiches.

Lucia, this ones for you. And thank you for the kind words in your last comment. You made my day. :-)

Prop 8? How do I see thee?

I think prop 8 is like a hot girl that happens to like chicken sandwiches. Let me explain...

A sweet young couple out on a date meet up at local restaurant for a late night meal. She really likes him, and perhaps went a little overboard on the short dress and high heels.
They finished their chicken sandwiches hours prior and haven't even noticed that time has been disappearing from the faded world around them.
Finally that dreaded moment has come. The one that puncuates with a heart pounding kiss and a reluctant goodbye.
On her way home, swimming in the thoughts of her love, the girl stumbles across the road without using the crosswalk. Little does she know that a man in a dark, unmarked car was watching her. Seconds later she is thrown into the backseat of a car. She would open the door and run, but there is no handle in this car, and even there was, she wouldn't be able to open it due to the cuffs cutting into both her wrists.
"What have you got there?" grunts the cop. "Dinner for me? Why, I don't mind if I do. Thanks!" as he gobbles down the second half of her tasty chicken sandwich. "I suppose this makes me your pimp!" he laughed to himself again.
"I'm not a hooker!"
"Yeah, sure your not. And my aunt patunia is a deep sea diver." The smell of his breath suggested otherwise.
Down at the station, the girl is thrown in with the rest of the evenings catch. A druggie, armed robber, purse snatcher and drunk driver.
"Okay toots, it's your turn..."
Standing in front of an old cranky judge who hasn't had a break in nearly 4 hours, the girl pleads that she is not a prostitute.
"Please judge...I'm a straight A student at the university. Ask any of the professors! I would never soliciate sex for money! I've never been arrested before. Please, look at my record!"
And she almost convinced the judge, until the truth was discovered.

"Is it true that you eat chicken sandwiches?" askes the judge.
Taken by surprise, the girl replies, "Uh, well, yes. yes I do. But what does..."

"TAKE HER AWAY! SHE'S GUILTY!"

Does this seem fair to you? But you see, the judge is a vegitarian.

There are many people in this world. God made them all. God made the earth, the heavens, the stars and so on.
We must live together. We are called to LOVE. Our country was founded on the freedom of religion and equal rights for all.
Just as everyone is entitled to a fair trial, so is everyone entitled to the choice to believe or not to believe.
Is it fair that the judge condemed the girl based on his own biased beliefs? He's a judge! We expect them to be impartial. When we vote, we judge. What kind of world do we live in when we judge others with our vote?
Not the world I want to live in, that's for sure.

Therefore, I voted NO on prop 8. Unfortunately it won.

BTW- I made that story up. :-)
