Hopefully for at least a generation. In fact, young people who came of voting age during Bush II are far more likely to register or call themselves Democrats than Republics (the opposite was true when Reagan and Bush I were president).<BR/><BR/>Of course, the best news is that she's on the LOSING side of the argument. And obviously desperately holding on. With attitudes about gays/lesbians changing so quickly among young people, we need only wait for a generation or two to die off before we're assured equality.<BR/><BR/>That day can't come a moment too soon.

But my reaction is to tell (email?) those people that "some things are so vicious and so untrue as to be deeply offensive, and this list is an example. So rather than arguing each point, I just want to know in what spirit it was sent. If you mistakenly thought it was funny and that I'd find it amusing, I want you to know it wasn't and I didn't. If you sent it because you believe it, then I want you to know how much it hurt me, and I'll leave it up to you to decide if you want to repair the damage."<BR/><BR/>Or something.Sid Schwabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14182853083503404098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7725856347380049567.post-74660289958818458282008-02-19T00:52:00.000-06:002008-02-19T00:52:00.000-06:00hey randy.. . .NO. this is not the time to let it...hey randy.. . .<BR/><BR/>NO. this is not the time to let it roll. in my opinion, your friend has selective perception if she sent you this. the quoted material isn't funny, it's stereotypical, but more than that, it damns whole swaths of people, one of whom she claims as a friend. if it were me i might send an email saying "don't email me anything. ever." and if she cared about me, she'd write back and say either 1. "dude? what's up? did i say something?" or 2. she wouldn't write back and i would learn a lot more about the quality of what she called friendship.<BR/><BR/>there's a book called "forgiving and not forgiving." don't remember the author, but it's a terrific read. it's an older book.<BR/><BR/>all the best to you as you struggle with this.<BR/><BR/>kcdkcdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14421097447825900698noreply@blogger.com
