"...John Kerry is the "favored son" of his home state that is strongly advancing the homosexual marriage march"

No, no, and no.

In perpetually impoverished western MA, Kerry is not particularly well liked. Nor Kennedy, who once described Springfield as on the NY border... no one in charge on Boston has any clue what people need out here, let alone,as in Kennedy's case, where "here" is.

As for the SJC decision. I'm not opposed to civil union, and I'm not opposed to homosexual couples trying to be happy and do the best they can like everyone else. It's applying the word "marriage" to their relationship that I don't like, and the fact that the SJC just declared a new law. That cannot stand. Or we can just dispense with the representative legislative body in toto, if the appointed SJC is going to start writing new laws.

Absolutely true. I grew up in southwestern MA; it's like a totally different state. I now live in north central MA - closer to, but still not in the thick of, the PC socialist engine of Boston. But the stench is much stronger here...
