bits of things
Feb. 20th, 2004 04:15 pmI have some pics here at work, but I think I'll email them home and then post them that way. Then you guys will have see the last 2 bags that have not been shown on here. Honestly, I have done other things besides purses, but I think that they are either boring or else that no one seems to be as interested... other than me. :)
Next there was a quote I read today from CNN that caught my attention. See I think that the mayor Newsom of SF has really stepped up to the plate. His authorizing marriage licenses to gay people has really brought this conversation about gay rights to the foreground. Sometimes you don't sit and palaver about it, you act and then see what all the fuss was about. I think his act to give licenses was courageous. Showing people that they are equal is courageous. And the people who are standing in line, sometimes all nite long, shows how much we want this. We don't deserve to be second class citizens. Here is the quote from CNN: "However, this fight ultimately is about what America thinks is fair, and in that sense Mayor Newsom has done a great service," Coles said. "Americans watched on television as hundreds and hundreds of people stood in the pouring rain all night to get married, and a fair number of them probably thought, 'Gee, we didn't have to go through that."' Boy, was that quote ever on the mark. My parents did not have to wait in line to get a marriage license, why should I? I swear I will see this happen in my lifetime. My niece's grandchildren will wonder why we ever were not allowed to marry. I will get off the soapbox now.
Next. My softball league is trying to dissolve my team. So if you are in Philly and are (or know someone) who is female and wants to play, please contact me before march 12th. We need a roster of 16 so they don't merge us into another team. Thanks!
