I can't write anymore on the gay marriage issue. Know why? Because I feel like I say the same things over and over and over again, and no one hears me.

By the way, I didn't say, "no one will agree with me." I said, "no one will listen to me." That's a totally different thing.

I can deal with disagreement. It's "I won't hear you" that drives me batty.

To me, this is like watching a horror movie. The heroine is about to walk into a dark basement, sure that the goal she seeks is to be found there. I can think of better, smarter ways to get what she wants. It's screamingly obvious, in fact. But instead, she does the obvious thing, and walks into that dark basement where the funny noises are all coming from.

Don't go down into that basement you crazy bitch! I yell at the screen. There's a better way to get what you want!

But it's fruitless. She cannot hear me, and she walks into the dank, dark hole. So I close my eyes, waiting for the hand to come out of nowhere and bury the knife in the middle of her chest.

Gay marriage advocates: Get out of the courts. Stop using the courts. Get out of the courts, get out of the courts, get out of the courts you stupid fools, you don't want to go there!!!!

But they won't listen.

I left my final comments here in Michael's thread. Where he makes an eloquent point, but in which I think he misses the mark. For he is walking into that dark basement where the funny noises are coming, sure that the prize he seeks is to be found there.

This is my final comment on this subject. I'm just going to hold my hands over my face and watch in silence as events unfold over the next year.

I'm not going to enjoy it.

(Comments here are closed, but you can leave responses in Michael's thread if you want. I probably won't read them though. This conversation has begun to depress me too much.)
