Janeane Garofalo's radio commentary partner on Air America Sam Seder

Comment to: Blogging the Anti-Gay Amendment...From THE Closet Ok who is gay? What if certain acts attributed to homosexuals occur in marriage while a man and a woman are married, will their marriage suddenly become nulls and voids (ah, you folded, spindled or tore that punch card, you are no longer "married" comrade) THX1138-like? Or does a "Marriage Act" (the 18th century one, which left out Scotland and the Jews who had no places to publish "banns," led to crossing rivers "ower bogie" or the border to the blacksmith shop at Gretna Green to marry without a priest instead by a public official, to escape questions by religious people.

Last time I looked the United States was still a secular nation, without mumbo-jumbo about deities and riot-inducing theology, why look at the George Gordon riots in London 1780 for pete-the-dragon's sake, over 500 shot and killed, churches burned, houses torn down, even Newgate prison taken apart quickly with crowbar and sledgehammer over some "down with popery" (in the "Newgate Calendar" and in 18th century graffiti). 6/8/06 Isn't it weird, the Hippocratic Oath (the long version) makes specific reference to those that take the healers oath to be fair and equal with all their patients? ... Whatever houses I may visit, I will come for the benefit of the sick, remaining free of all intentional injustice, of all mischief and in particular of sexual relations with both female and male persons, be they free or slaves. ...
