regarding the gay/lesbian marriage, I have no problem with gays or lesbians getting married. yes marriage is something sacred that has been shared between a man and a women, however you have to consider what marriage is all about. Professing your love in the deepest way possible...personally I thnk it shouldnt matter matter what sex or who you are, its your choice and not the courts decision, they seem to finally be realizing that and thats good.

On the matter of Bush giving the disabled more accesibilty in places like golf courses and movies etc. is great. in the article it says that because of the rising number of war veterans...and whose is that fault? yeah the same person who is giving them the new accessories now, lets see a leg or an arm for a good seat at the movies? not so fair a trade to me, this doesnt make up for the war at all, but it is great for the disabled people in general.
