    Is Depression Selfish?

    Of course we have. Who hasn't entertained the idea, when lying awake in the dark and feeling down, "Wouldn't it be nice if I could just fall asleep . . . and not have to wake up." My concern is with taking such statements lightly on the net, when they may be coming from someone who is giving...

    What are you listening to? Part 9

    Fleetwood Mac Seven Wonders Not to damn with faint praise, but this is probably the most well-edited video, with such a beautifully photographed footage . . . It's just exceptionally well done. That the underlying recording helps, I suppose.

    You honor me. (Not sure if you meant to. But you do.)

    What are you listening to? Part 9

    Oh. No. That one kills me. Always will. Touching images of the two of them together.

    ‘We the People’ Loses Appeal With People Around the World

    The above is from your quote, describing where America is out of step, and it follows "a right to travel, the presumption of innocence." That strikes me as bizarre. We have a presumption of innocence. Is the author being cynical? And by right to travel, does he mean borders? And if he says we...

    What are you listening to? Part 9

    Stevie Nicks - After the Glitter Fades Stevie in the booth doing the vocal track. Charming as ever. I love this video. There seems to be someone off camera trying to make her laugh. At about 2:20 they apparently succeed and she turns her back. Fun.

    Is Depression Selfish?

    I'm not at all comfortable giving advice of any sort, other than "talk to a professional," to someone telling me they are having suicidal thoughts. Especially on-line.

    Court: CA gay-marriage ban is unconstitutional

    You're repeating yourself. I've got work tomorrow. Night.

    Court: CA gay-marriage ban is unconstitutional

    It would be if men could marry men, but women could not marry women. As it is, you have described current marriage law as it has always been undestood. Nothing more. Nothing less.

    Court: CA gay-marriage ban is unconstitutional

    They struck it down based on Romer, which has nothing to do with marriage. You keep saying that. When a court comes to a decision, the people have a right to remedy through amendment - that is valid law. The appeals process is not over. This isn't settled. And you know what I think you...

    Court: CA gay-marriage ban is unconstitutional

    Gender is not sexual orientation. Where have the two ever been treated equally?

    Court: CA gay-marriage ban is unconstitutional

    Because the state does not have to justify it's law. The plaintiff has to show he is harmed by it. No, it doesn't. The people of California amended their Constitution with a valid law. We've already discussed that Prop 8 could be upheld and the marriages that took place before could remain...

    Court: CA gay-marriage ban is unconstitutional

    The woman has no right to marry a person of the same sex, either. You know better. (Or maybe you don't.) It's not a case of discrimination based on gender. Everyone has the same right to marry a person of the opposite sex. Maybe y'all should try testing that one next. See how far you get.

    Court: CA gay-marriage ban is unconstitutional

    There's The CT I know! Condescending and dismissive. Sorry. The burden is on your side, not mine. But here. The state has an interest in regulating marriage. It has no interest at all in expanding the traditionally understood definition of the term to include members of the same sex. Easy...
