...residents of the mid-Atlantic region get ready to dig themselves out of the third major storm of the season, they may stop to wonder two things: Why haven't we bothered to invest in a snow blower, and what happened to climate change? After all, it stands to reason that if the world is getting warmer - and the past decade was the hottest on record - major snowstorms should become a thing of the past, like PalmPilots and majority rule in the Senate. Certainly that's what the Virginia state Republican Party thinks: the GOP aired an ad last weekend...
...There are other faith-based groups that do not share such extreme, antagonizing views as The Family, and they would be more suited to head an event primarily dedicated to friendship building. Although Obama made the right decision in attending the National Prayer Breakfast, there should not have been reason for him to consider a boycott...
...crucial flaw in this argument, and the reason why Prop 8 is such a threat to Loving, is that the Virginia courts didn’t believe that interracial marriage was “marriage” either. Marriage is a divine institution, wrote the Virginian judge that originally gave the Lovings their sentence, and God “placed [separate races] on separate continents,” in order to demonstrate that He did “not intend for [them] to mix.” In Naim v. Naim (1955), the Virginia Supreme Court similarly argued...
Unless the court can find a viable reason to distinguish between interracial marriage and gay marriage, they must therefore conclude that Prop 8 is an unconstitutional as the Racial Integrity Act of 1924. If they fail, they will be tossing into the dustbin the reasoning that the Supreme Court used in Loving to strike down laws that banned interracial marriage, thereby implicitly overriding it. Two years ago, we elected a president raised by parents whose marriage was only considered fully valid after a ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court. Perhaps one day, after the Court makes the right decision regarding...
...most notable absences from the 2012 summer games in London will be baseball and softball, both of which were voted out by the International Olympic Committee in 2005. The reason that was given for these omissions was that neither sport figured largely enough in the international sporting world. However, baseball and softball are two of the most played sports in the world, with huge followings in North America, the Caribbean, and Asia. Although there would have been many flags represented on the field had these sports been offered in the 2012 games, it was the specter of the stars...
