  1. I clicked on the oregonlive.com piece and couldn't get it to load on my fussy mac. But that's ok. I get the idea, and I'm so tired of the whole gay marriage is akin to murder argument!

  2. Good for Jacqueline Fuller. I also had an issue with the Oregon Live piece loading but I'm sure it's quite predictable. On the upside, I love the liberal side of Oregon. By and large, they are open-minded, civic minded, and environmentally conscious. I'm sure politics are quite polarized there but I'm a little surprised that even a Republican would use such violent and hateful rhetoric. It wouldn't even work well in Utah … and Utah is crazy.

    1. Agi Tater -- Oregon (or at least its liberal corners) sounds like a nice place.
