...the passage of a state constitutional amendment against same-sex marriage?

I'm in a two-woman relationship. My legal marriage was taken away by two state's courts. I mourned. Thousands of couples would celebrate if the amendments didn't pass; that, I get.

But why would people for it celebrate? Or, as a woman on one of my debate lists did, say "Yippee" about it?

What, exactly, are they celebrating, and why?

I am powerfully curious. I'm not sure I'll like the answers, but I'm pressing the buttons anyhow.

Americans appeal to underdog stories all the time. why is that? Movies like Seabiscuit, Cinderella, Titanic, and many more where the underdog comes out on top, or something like that.

This old lady almost killed me at a cross walk today. It was like I wasn't even there at all. The old bat tried to drive right through me. She was all hunched over and could barely see over the steering wheel. After diving out of the way, scuffing my knees and elbows on the pavement, I watched her as she drove away all weeving in the road, hungry for her next victim. If they're not slowing up traffic and getting in everyone's way their homicidal maniacs bent on running over pedestrians and kittens. I really think we should take people's licenses away once they turn sixty. I'll be glad to give mine up. I hate driving. What say you?

On the train the other day with my daughter and a woman asked me to move because my daughter had a cold. She started ranting about how parents have no consideration for anyone we shouldn't have children before 35 because we aren't mature enough. I wouldn't mind but the woman looked like a weasel and smelt like kebabs.

I'm a Christian, but I don't believe in this. Is it not hypocritical to promote oneself as a Christian but then support this kind of action?

"Dove", the soap company, has a short video that they are using in their campaign for real beauty that I think every girl should see (guys too, for that matter).

Take a look if you haven't already seen it and tell me what you think.

I have a mailbox attached to my house and I put outgoing mail in it the other morning and came home and it was still there. Isn't the mailman supposed to get that or am I supposed to go out of my way to the post officeor a drop off spot? I am confused. I figured it would be like a regular mailbox.
