Gay, gay, gay, gay, gay, gay

I've been made honorarily gay by he passage of proposition 8. Fact is I woke up feeling more solidarity with gay people than straight because of the passage of prop 8, which amends the constitution of California to redefine marriage as between someone with a penis and someone with a vagina.

Separate but equal is inherently unequal and so civil unions will never be acceptable to the gay community as a separate but equal legal status, especially in California. This is California!!! The government should not intrude into personal relationships between two consenting adults and should treat everyone the same. The intrusion is especially discriminatory because it is based on physical characteristics, and the government should get out of the business of checking on what type of genitalia people have.

The fact that the proponents used the teaching of gay marriage to children as a scare tactic is depraved. No one is going to be saying "gay,gay,gay,gay,gay" in school. And in any case, who gives a fuck? Isn't school about learning facts? There are whales in the ocean, and there are gay people in the world. Teaching kids about gays won't turn them gay. Being around gay people won't turn them gay. Maybe we shouldn't teach kids about wizards just in case they turn warlock! Gay, gay, gay, gay, gay!

The demographics favor gay marriage in the future, but in order to get society to take a speedier path toward enlightenment, I'm going to say "gay,gay,gay,gay,gay" and patiently explain why this is a pock on California.

Free market thinking

Ah, the free market, where everything is free. It's leading to free stocks and bonds of America's finest corporations. Some of you may have missed the fire-sale of Lehman and Bear Sterns. Don't fret. This Christmas, free GM stocks! Everyone will be able to own a piece of GM. Ongoing free stuff in the free market includes free capital injections from the Fed for qualifying banks. Better than free needle exchanges but the high is still temporary. Free market capitalism met 21st century minimalism and became free capital. Due diligence is overblown and too realistic. We want abstract paintings of blue lines for $200 million. Could I have derivative contracts with no financial backing for $200 billion, Alex? What are Sharks and bankers in formaldehyde.
