, however I believe that I'll be down in LA in October and plan on visiting a hospital in Stockton near the end of that trip.


Business or pleasure?

Definitely business. Only rarely do I visit hospitals while on vacation and never for pleasure.

They're all right if you can catch them on a free pharmaceuticals night. Or maybe that was a methadone clinic that I went to, I'm kind of blurry.

Unfortunately the Mormons spent alot of money so you two can't get married out there now.

We're already married!

I'm not sure we can entirely blame the Mormons for the latest failure to introduce same-sex marriage by vote. It has now failed twice in California. The only way it has worked out there (and most every other place in the US) has been by fiat via the court system. So far, I think only Vermont has passed same-sex marriage by representative legislation. I doubt it would pass as a referendum even there, but unless they want to throw out their legislators and nullify that vote I would consider Vermont same-sex marriage as written in stone. None of the other so-called 'same-sex states' have even the modicum of legislative authority backing those decisions.

I want to create a proposition to make the proposition system illegal. I would call it "The proposition to end all propositions."

I believe it was via the Iowa supreme court rather than the legislature, but truthfully I did not follow that one closely.

I can't find myself to care for gay marriage, other then the whole Judges over riding democracy part of it.

Go get married - tards.

Just to throw fuel on the fire...

The judges are enforcing democracy by upholding the state's constitution. The voters can ammend their state constitution, which is typically harder to do than just passing a law.
