Well here we are. It's the mob rule, also known as "democracy." Over here in California, we have a proposition on the ballot to define marriage as between a man and a woman. But there's a circus to go along with the proposition:
A man wearing a "No on 8" button was beaten witha "Yes on 8" lawn sign in Torrance this week in what policecharacterized as a possible hate crime.

I believe marriage is defined by the culture. The culture is defined by the people who live in that culture. Democracy really doesn't have much of a role in changing marriage when the culture has already spoken. The culture has taken marriage and destroyed it. The idea that we should now vote on it is absurd. Marriage has been attacked again and again by the very people who want to define it as between a man and a woman. Even changing the California Constitution will not change the divorce rate. This circus will certainly not convince people either way.
I originally planned to vote against this proposition, but now I abstain all together from casting a position on it. I originally signed the petition to get it on this ballot, but now I decline from endorsing either position.
I define marriage as between a man and a woman. But marriage has gone millennium without help from the state. If we truly value marriage, let's uphold marriage as sacred. Protect marriage by protecting your marriage. And stop the circus.
