A collection--actually, more a clutter, of rambles about all sorts of subjects.

Most days I'm a pretty happy person. I hear some of you saying, "Jeez, I'd never have guessed form some of the stuff you send out." Not true, but I can see where you're coming from. Anyway, my day is ticking along quite nicely and then someone sends me something and I think, "You've got to be kidding. Why are some folks so hell bent on turning the whole world upside down?"

Needless to say, this occured in California (sorry to my CA frinds...but really). Here is what I received from the Liberty Action organization.

A very disturbing, some would say shocking, report has just crossed my desk that could fundamentally shift the marriage debate in America. In fact, if this new strategy works, it could literally mean the "End of Marriage."

Earlier this month, the California Supreme Court heard oral arguments regarding the homosexual activists' challenge to Proposition 8 -- the amendment defining marriage as one man and one woman that was approved by voters last November. Liberty Counsel's amicus brief for this case makes it clear that the California Supreme Court has no legal or constitutional grounds to reject Proposition 8. But as I learned when I argued the original same-sex marriage case before this same Court last year, the homosexual activists (and judges with an agenda!) are not deterred by the facts.

How the California Court could "end" marriage

During the arguments in this year's case, a "compromise" was discussed that would supposedly satisfy all parties -- affirming the result of Proposition 8 but resolving the alleged "equal protection" problem of not allowing homosexuals to marry. What was that compromise? Simply end the use of the term "marriage" altogether by the state of California! When asked by one of the justices, lawyers from both sides agreed that the so-called "compromise" would resolve the legal disputes. But the ramifications of a new legal principle that ends marriage would be devastating!

Dangerous phase in the battle over marriage

We do not know what the California court will do but one thing is clear: We are entering the most dangerous and most difficult phase in the battle to save marriage we have yet seen. The California court ruling could be announced any day and Liberty Counsel must be ready. No matter who the decision favors, many Californians will be outraged. If the decision goes against pro-homosexual interests, we expect dramatic public demonstrations and possibly even rioting. Our lawyers are working on several marriage-related cases right now, but I expect a flood of new cases to result from the California decision, no matter which way it goes.

We cannot allow these activists and judges to "end" marriage.
