The DiscriminatorThe California legislature has approved gay marriage in the state. It is now up to the Governator to either sign it into law or veto it. Guess which one he is hintting at? Veto it, of course. He says that “the issue should be decided either by a vote of the people or a court decision.” How many times have I said that the rights of a minority should not be put up to vote by the majority? What if we had left slavery or segregation up to a vote? Like my friend Kendra says: “so if the courts make a ruling in favor of gays, people freak about activist judges. They say that the people should decide and those judges aren’t elected by the people. But when the legislature, that IS elected by the people, passes something, the people or the courts needs to decide? WTF?” Update: Girly man has announced that he will veto this bill. Thank you Arnold for keeping people safe from all those gays who want to marry!

Personal storiesWhen you are involved in a distance education department at a university, you tend to have contact with students all over the world. This includes students in tragedy-affected areas such as New Orleans and Mississippi. Here are some excerpts from some emails that we have received from some students: “We have no idea if we have a house left, but do know from talking with people at the base that the looters have taken over homes in our neighborhood, stealing, destroying and burning. ” “Crime is now the only issue on our minds. We live in a beautiful, safe town that is now too dangerous to visit Wal Mart for groceries.” “Your email finds me and my children safe, however, our house is believed to be gone. “
