Even though he has an obvious liberal slant he is still fair in his reporting and that is what I like some one who will go after both sides of the issue and still at the same pointe offer their own perspective.F6's Editorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00245610947948998790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13145005.post-47113300665692077322008-11-08T18:13:00.000-06:002008-11-08T18:13:00.000-06:00It IS remarkable...and no matter what "disappointm...It IS remarkable...and no matter what "disappointments" and challenges lie ahead, we need to remember how far we've come to get to this place. <BR/><BR/>I'm finally inspired by my President...it'll take some getting used to, after eight years of grumbling whenever a televised speech interrupted "Everybody Loves Raymond."<BR/><BR/>I think "there" is wherever we need to be individually. We're guaranteed in our Constitution the right to pursuit of happiness. It doesn't define that happiness, because it can't--that's different for everybody. But too many times people are systematically denied the opportunties to pursue their dreams, for whatever reason.

Thank you so much for sharing this.<BR/><BR/>As for "beings of inferior order" I was just discussing with a friend how it seems so many in our country hold this idea toward homosexuals.
