"If it ain't broke, don't fix it," is not a statement of avoidance but practicality. Mainiacs have no problem fixing what's broken, and marriage equality will fix a broken system.Elizabeth Kaetonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06787552280232329081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2174812066017196444.post-89172402138895778812009-10-17T14:53:39.179-05:002009-10-17T14:53:39.179-05:00Sad to say, folks are too often fooled by red herr...Sad to say, folks are too often fooled by red herrings. but let's pray not in this instance.June Butlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01723016934182800437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2174812066017196444.post-66525504423546343912009-10-17T14:51:12.947-05:002009-10-17T14:51:12.947-05:00I do hope the people of Maine are not fooled.

Tney won here in large part by making it about schools, even though the fact of marraige, or not, has no effect on schools: that is, you don't have to legalize gay marriage to teach that there are gay families!IThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09605163506396013904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2174812066017196444.post-49166654128868622722009-10-17T13:20:58.362-05:002009-10-17T13:20:58.362-05:00I think it's going to be close, but I'm st...I think it's going to be close, but I'm still hopeful. Company did not make it possible for me to attend, and I'm not sure the news coverage did it justice. The anti-gay marriage ads are focussed on what "they" will teach our children in school. Makes me mad every time I see one. My son (from California) says they're very much like the ones in CA. I just hope Maine people aren't as gullible.motherameliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11381575553733390018noreply@blogger.com
