Dan you're missing the point. I wasn't saying that the "celebrations" weren't pornographic. I was saying you can't characterize millions of people by the most extreme in their group. People are individuals and they deserve to be treated that way. Rights are individual, not assigned to groups and whteher or not you like some idiotic parade.

I hope you're okay up there with all the traffic. We used to live behind St. Joseph's across from the park.

You've mischaracterized nearly everything in this thread.

This seems to be a habit of yours, like two months ago when you called me hateful when I said that a sex change operation was mutilation and then tried to equate a mastectomy for breast cancer with a sex change operation.

My point was that the extremists are all there is. Sure you know a guy who dresses up for work every day and he and his partner park their nice Volvo's in the driveway of their nicely landscaped house. But trust me, those guys also go to the parades and do all that sick stuff. There are very few "normal" ones. I used to work with several of them, and thought of one of them as a good friend for five years until it all went sour. Without exception these are a group of emotionally troubled people.

Re: Elk Grove. I know that neighborhood well. I am a parishioner at St. Joseph's. Traffic is still only 35 minutes in to the Capitol, so that beats anything from where I grew up in LA. Though we just moved from our home over near Waterman and Sheldon to a nice larger new place in Sloughhouse. Pondering asking JR to change me to SloughHouseDan - haven't decided yet.
