PROP 8 OVERTURNED! CAL COURT STRIKES IT DOWN IN 2-1 DECISION!
http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2012/feb/07/prop-8-california-gay-marriage-ban-struck-down?newsfeed=true
A great victory for the movement...one of the most high-profile setbacks and cases of trying to discriminate against the LGBT community via the ballot box, and it's finally been defeated--thoughts? Could the gay marriage become legal nation-wide within, say, 20 years? Longer? Shorter?

Really, a great victory.

Not LGBT, but I know folks that are, and there's no reason they should be discriminated against...

If straight couples are allowed to divorce, gay couples should be allowed to marry.

(And while he's not directly related, obviously--first Don't Ask, Don't Tell is taken down by Obama and supporters, and now Prop 8...IF Obama wins re-election--and that's a decent-sized "if" still, but IF he does--do you think he might, in his second term, move to try and allow the LGBT community more nationally-recognized rights, maybe even marriage itself? It'd be a great asset for his legacy, and if he's in his 2nd term, he doesn't need to worry about popular opinion as much, as he can't be re-elected, he can risk acting on what he might want even if it's more controversial and unpopular...what do you think?)

"Could the gay marriage become legal nation-wide within, say, 20 years? Longer? Shorter?"

That of course depends what the Supreme Court does with this case. It will almost assuredly hear it, and it will hand down a 5-4 decision, with the swing being Justice Kennedy. If it affirms Reinhardt, then this becomes the law nationwide. If it overturns, then Prop 8 stands even in California. In that scenario, I imagine it would be a good long while before all fifty states had gay marriage.

Even if the Supreme Court upholds Prop 8, the tide is turning. The old keep dying and the young are socially liberal. Gay marriage will certainly become more accepted over time. Opponents are fighting a useless losing battle.

A Love of Submission and Slavery--Personality and Party Cults in Religion and Politics
The very term "Islam" itself refers to personal and religious submission...
The First Commandment and The Bible preach submission to God/Jesus...
The USSR, Nazis, DPRK, Cuba, and Iran all have/had personality cults...
ARE Parties and Religions, in the end, doomed to enslavement and submission of this nature?

Bounce question
Quick question for any of you in the know out there.
If you have a string of orders that all bounce eachother and one of the string is supported will it bounce as well?
For example A Ber-Pru, A Kiel-Ber, A Mun-Kiel, A Ruhr sup A Mun-Kiel.
Will all orders bounce if another unit enters Prussia on same move

Proposal: As close to FtF as possible.
Does anyone have any interest in playing a game with some FtF rules? Not a live game, but specifically a game where press is not allowed during retreats or build phases, and those phases are possibly shorter. 48 hour Spring and Autumn, 24 hour retreat/builds? Assuming its kosher as a mod, I would change the game to gunboat and the phase length to mimic FtF. The only thing I would request is no finalising and a starting at a time I know I can be online for each shift.

I wonder...cheating?
In a game (Who me? Stab you!) that has no messages of any kind and two players from the start seem to be working together. The variant is Ancient Med and the countries involved are Egypt and Carthage. They moved only one unit towards each other and then supported each other from then on. Maybe its me but I find that kind of movement very suspicious. What do you think?

I've been studying the 7 countries and the centers they control when they arrive at the magic 18 and I've noticed a trend among the nations. Sometimes there are solos that break that trend. If you have soloed a game where your win came with you controlling a cropping of bizarre centers, I'd be interested in seeing them. Post your entries this weekend and on Monday, I'll vote a winner based on how much it deviates from the norm.

So...What Do You All Want To Do Once You're Dead?
A composer, Andre Tchaikowsky, said in his will he wanted to donate his skull to the RSC for performances...and he finally got his wish--David Tennant's "Hamlet" features Tennant using a REAL SKULL for Yorick...Tchaikowsky's! And I read that, I know what *I* want now...donate the rest to science, maybe save the brain if I'm rich enough, but I'd LOVE if my skull was on stage after I died! So--launched into space, scattered ashes in your favorite area...what?
