California Voters Approve Gay-Marriage Ban

Rex I do not think Spendius means to come across as hate filled, he just sees most things very different than all the rest of us do.
Spendius is an atheist but he reminds me of the priest that Allan Watts talks about in this video at 11 minutes into it. I think that Allen is a great entertainer who does seem to see a lot of truth.
This video is long but it does have some beautiful scenes from around the world along with Allan's wits and sense of humor. If you find the video interesting I would blow it up as big as you can so that you can have a good view.

It is just the way people "come off". Do they come off genuine or do they come off fake and full of insinuation? However they come off, they are either fake or the genuine thing. Fear or love.

I'll Follow You - RexRed (live) at the V.F.W. ft. Larry Weddleton

That is a pretty song and now I know what you were thinking when you came up with I'll follow you. I bet you make a lot of peoples lives happier with your music Rex. Especially when you are there to perform live in a social setting.

Well, you're a good person too RL and I am sure people are also very happy to have you in their lives too. Sometimes I feel like just giving up. I had a terrible case of the flu while performing this song. It suddenly came on about 3 hours before I was to go onstage. I am still recovering, tonight I am supposed to participate in a group volunteer effort to call Maine voters and try and persuade them to vote for marriage equality in November elections. I think I am going to cancel. I just feel so ill and I am not sure exposing them to this cold is a good idea.

Thanks for the compliment RL. I hope to have more of this type of performance in the future available for youtube. (hopefully without the flu)

What did you think of Larry's performance. He is a great stage performer. I am lucky to have him participating in these performances for sure.

Take care and talk to you all soon.

District court rules DOMA unconstitutional

We know what to expect from judges in California.

Thanks Cyclo for the update! Great news indeed!

Ah, but remember, he is a CA judge appointed by George W. Bush, and the Bush administration was openly trying to pack the federal judiciary at all levels with judges with right-wing views. And now even they can't be relied upon to try to defend those unconstitutional causes so dear to the far-right zealots (and you, spendi). As your idol, Bob Dylan, was fond of sayin', "The times, they are a-changin' ".

How many judges are there in the US at the same level as Judge Jeffery White? And like the other one he is a New Yorker. An immigrant in California. Is Cal. being ruled from NYC?

And he's done a U-turn on his Wikileaks decision and supported the idea of global warming.

Dylan is not my idol at all. A text stands alone and is independent of who wrote it.

Today's word to look up: "Cloister"

Does living in a cloister make one an oyster? (just kidding)

On the other hand... religious cloistering can create a statesman, out of touch with mainstream ideas.

I am referring to Rick Santorum... Are his strict ideas on sex due to religious isolationism rather than actually knowing people and the mainstream of social thought?

I don't know mate. I can't even begin to understand how a mind like that operates.

There is usually a disjunction between "knowing people" and "the mainstream of thought."

And between the "mainstream of thought" and the "expressions of the mainstream of thought" which often lead the inexperienced to interpret as the actual "mainstream of thought".

Those who "know people" and the actual "mainstream of thought", as opposed to the golden glitter of its posing surface, express themselves in politer versions of George Orwell's "stick rattling in a bucket" overview of the growing materialism in the world.

"It's the economy stupid" is not all that polite. Neither is "what will it mean for house prices?" when seeing news broadcast items of the shelling of Homs: bracketed with adverts oozing sumptuary delights.

I think we can take it that the Vatican "knows people". It has certainly had sufficient experience and its archives are vast. It has spies. I would be astonished if it is confused. Fox News is confused. CBS News is confused.

Anybody who "knows people" and the "mainstream of their thought" usually finds it very difficult to say anything good about them and a few have taken considerable pains to portray them in as unflattering a way as their skills allow. Lucien Freud for example.

If one might feel a sense, on contemplating the great Renaissance works of art, of the splendid lives, full of genius, glory and magnificence: the triumphs, the torch-lit feasts, midst half naked women, beautiful as goddesses. It would be some stretch to view Mr Freud's pictures so complacently.

One might compare the literary works of Giovanni Boccaccio to those of Mr William Burroughs to similar effect.

It's easy izzie. It is trying to make headway in the world without raising a callus or giving itself any difficult theory to cruddle over.

It's "stop me and buy one" tarted up to get past lowered guards.

I have this foreboding feeling that if/when the next natural disaster strikes, gays will be blamed for it from those like Santorum, for bringing gay marriage to 7 states (and counting)... How can one morally defend themselves against the superstitious whims of mother earth and the mysterious ways of their supposed invisible yet barbaric god? Guilt ridden religiophobes are so quick to point a finger and the mob often is susceptible to hysterical suggestion. Shall we start sacrificing animals now to appease this insatiably hungry god of theirs?

I've just swotted a fly if that's any help.

It looks like Rex can find so few people to say bad things about homosexuals that he has to make suggestions for them so they can learn how best to do it and then he can present himself as hard done to in his music room surrounded by the trappings of luxury and amusing toys and easy living and compose lyrics reflecting his desolate and victimised state.

spendi, What is it, exactly, are you trying to say? Your post is gibberish!
