[Vision2020] gay marriage initiative

[keely emerinemix]

This just in:  the anti-gay marriage measure passed by more than 2/3 and 
will go to the voters.

My comment:  Idaho's economy is, at best, uncertain.  Schools are falling 
apart for lack of funding and districts are overwhelmed under the burden of 
federal "oversight."  Our children have less and less assurance of 
opportunities for a top-notch education and high-paying jobs after school.  
A single party controls the entire state and its effect on education, the 
environment, and the economy has been less than sterling.  Our nation is at 
war, we're less safe now than we were five years ago, the gap between rich 
and poor is widening at an alarming rate, and we have a stunning lack of 
national heroes in our midst.

And yet I'm supposed to believe that Jeff and I are more threatened by the 
desire of a gay couple to make a legal committment to each other than by all 
of the other threats to our society, both internal and external?

Really?

The biggest threat to my traditional heterosexual marriage is the fact that 
two out of two people in it are sinful human beings who, while very much in 
love, often fall short in expressing it.   I don't expect legislation to 
address it, and I don't need legislation to "protect" me.  I would, however, 
like to see my state focus on things that really do threaten us, but I'm 
beginning to think that it won't happen until someone decides that extending 
full opportunity to the poor, or protecting the environment,  is a 
traditional family value.
