  1. joe- there are gay couples with adopted kids who can’t ride through several states because those state do not recognize their right to be married or to adopt kids. There was a story about it last year.

    I don’t trust the states to decide what is or is not constitutional. There was a time when my interracial marriage would have landed us in jail, despite being legal. There are states that deny women the right to choose. Sorry- Ron Paul did no favors to democracy and that act made him seem more of a wacko than a serious candidate. In fact, I believe history will show that it has been the Federal Government that has has to consistently step in to protect minority rights from the vagaries of states laws, not the other way around.

  3. I make a little over a hundred dollars a year on the lottery. I have numbers in mind that I’ve checked over the years & 3 are the most that have ever matched. I don’t buy tickets except as jokes on people’s birthdays maybe twice a year.

  4. M4L;

    Not trying to be argumentative, but I wonder if you realize that your statement above is the one used by every dictator of the past, oh, 5,000 years to justify why their dictatorship is “necessary”? Check Robert Mugabe or other such folks for the latest version of this statement.

  5. “etson, the only winners are those who buy lottery tickets three times a week along with a carton of Marlboro’s each time. You also need to lose a few front teeth it would seem. But, I’m happy for them.

    NO. And apparently you can’t win either by telling God that you’ll give a lot of it to some poor illegal mexican guys. 🙁
