    The situation in California is particularly bad because desperate California economy. Caused in large part to real estate failures. Like it or not community colleges and special ed programs are being squeezed. The best and the brightest are being turned away.

  • Dahlia Lithwick Uses Recipes to Write a Legal Column About..

    ... ABORTION. Lithwick's very idea that women do not have reproductive choice, if they cannot extinquish the life growing in their own wombs, is in and of itself faulty. I mean, my God, did the female have sex with the guy, or did she not? As to being ''for change'' in everything but pro-Abort American policies at home and abroad, not everyone ...

  • Time to Abolish Marriage

    After years of debate, California has finally legalized gay marriage. While I have no problem with that per se, I do wonder why. Not why we’d make it legal, but why would gays even want to get married? Haven’t they seen the misery that married straight people go through? Don’t they realize that 50 percent of all marriages end up in divorce? ...

  • For those opposing gay marriage...

    Some important points for those of you who oppose gay marriage: 1) This is not about religion. California's decision to permit gay marriages does not mean gay people are getting married in your church. Your church has every right to continue to prohibit gays from getting married. This is about the government granting gay couples rights such as ...

However, ...

  • Will CA same-sex marriages cross state lines?

    BookBeast: What I am wondering about is whether other states will recognize same-sex marriages performed in CA. ... I don't know whether ''marriage transfer'' between states is mandated by federal law or what. Or, if it is, whether that federal law will by intention, phrasing or some other loophole prevent same-sex couples married in California ...

  • Re: Gay Marriage in California

    Hman: The problem with this decision is that it descriminates against all of the major religions in CA as well as the world that hold the belief that ''Holy Matrimony'' is between a man and a woman. No, it doesn't. The court specifically held that, as a result of this decision, ''... no religion will be required to change its religious policies ...

  • Home Disowners

    If you like neologisms, here's one I have coined; ''Home Disowner'' - a person who makes an economically rational, if selfish decision to ''disown'' their home and escape a mortgage obligation which is (now) no longer to their advantage. ''Home Disownership'' - the act of ''disowning'' one's home; the state of being one who has disowned ...
