Memorial Day

Just want to express my gratitude to all those who fought and died for my freedom. That's what this holiday is about, not getting a three day weekend, not big sales at stores, not going to the beach. Today is intended to honor those who gave their lives to defend this country. Please keep that in mind today.

Progress

This is going to be a short post today. Just want to say that I'm really happy that the House of Representatives voted to repeal "Don't Ask, Don't Tell". I hope that the Senate will do the same. The next thing they need to do is repeal the Defense of Marriage Act. It's bad enough that some states still persist in their commitment to prejudice and intolerance and won't allow homosexuals to marry. For the Federal government to help perpetuate this by allowing those ignorant, backwards states to refuse to recognize homosexual marriages performed in other states in violation of the full faith and credit clause of the Constitution is inexcusable.
