...homes to serve as slaves. But all that happened years ago. One would assume that by now any form of bigotry would be completely eradicated, but no. The people who suffered persecution in Europe, Asia or Africa are now the persecutors, thereby perpetuating hate and fear. Shouldn't that kind of American wake up, realize that they live in a different world where there is no pure blood (we are all "mixes," thank God!) and mature once and for all? Maybe Barack Obama cannot change our country that much. But he might make us all more aware...

Rumors abound in gay political circles about the group's recondite influence; some of the rumors are even true. For instance, the Cabinet met in California last year with two sitting governors, Brian Schweitzer of Montana and Kathleen Sebelius of Kansas, both Democrats; political advisers who work for the Cabinet met with a third Democratic governor, Wisconsin's Jim Doyle.
