Dear Friends and Loved-Ones,

I'm sure that the rear-view mirror of history will one
day give us a sanitized and dampened view of the
tragedy that has just taken place. For those of us
living in the nightmarish present, we might as well
be buring in the fires of hell or choking on the
smell of rot on Golgotha.

I haven't prayed in a long time, but I pray to the
creator that this large set back in the development
of American identity and morality will eventually be
righted --simply because the human race must
continue to 'evolve'...or else destroy itself.

Yes, i am talking about Bush. 'Betcher-bottom-
dollar I am talking about the senseless war that
will now rage on. More pertinently, I am talking
about the fact that huge blocks of our population
would allow discrimination to taint the U.S.
constitution (Ban on Gay Marriage passes in 11
states). Below is an excerpt from an interview
with actress Michelle Clunie of 'Queer As Folk'
fame. She may not be a mouthpiece for the
revolution, but her answer is so simple and so
elegant that it cannot fail to evoke reason out of a
dumb rock:

***********************************************

INTERVIEWER: What do you think of the whole
gay marriage issue?

MICHELLE CLUNIE: In my mind, I live in a world
where it shouldn't even be an issue. I can't even
imagine that people are so up in arms against
people who love each other getting married. I
can't even wrap my head around it. I find it strange
that our government has no problem sending
innocent young men and women to war, but God
forbid they should allow people to marry who they
love. It just doesn't make sense. It's like they
support hate and fear and crime and killing, but
they don't support love.

INTERVIEWER: What do you think of Bush's
constitutional amendment to ban same-sex
marriage?

MICHELLE CLUNIE: Well, if I get started on Bush,
I may never stop. I think that we have to get this
man out of the White House before the world
blows up. I think that right now that should be the
focus of every human being who cares about the
world.
******************************************************

Well Michelle, I guess it's time to build a nuclear
bunker a-la-PAtsy-and-Edina in 'Ab Fab.' Our re-
elected president has a penchant for whiz-bang
politicking and shoot-now-ask-the-dead foreign
policy.
