What better time than now?

One last time
I know, I know, the election's over and I should probably get off my soapbox. But I talked to a friend today who (unsuccessfully, unfortunately) ran for Congress in North Carolina and some of the things she said about the underhanded tactics the Republicans used against her just blew my mind. Among other things, she had to bring in an FBI handwriting specialist at one point to prove it wasn't her writing and signature on some documents her opponent's team forged to discredit her. And the reason why she was hit was because she had a recorded phone conversation with someone who admitted he was paid by her opponent to commit voter fraud. Either way, she said something that really hit it right on the mark, and I wanted to share it with you: I was on this radio call-in show, and a caller asked me why I was against the sanctity of marriage by supporting gay marriages and talked about how homosexuality is a sin. I said, "Do you want to talk about the sanctity of marriage? Okay, then let's really talk about the sanctity of marriage. Let's talk about how over half of the marriages in the U.S. end in divorce. Let's talk about how adultery is committed by around 50% of all married people in the U.S. Adultery is a sin according to the Bible, so why isn't that outlawed? Why aren't we proposing Constitutional amendments banning adultery?"
