- To hear people talk, there must only be two colors. There's black, and there's white. You're either black or white. But look around. How many colors are there really? Dozens? In my family alone, there are that many. Hundreds? Thousands? How do you devise any sort of different treatment based on color when there are thousands of different pigments and features of all kinds in this human race?What do you do; line people up by Pantone color? Then where do you draw a line? "All of you in front of this line get a break on college admission". How white do you have to be to be white? And when do the benefits start accruing for that? (right). The fact is that any preference based on color is as ridiculous as it seem.
What ever happened to "Question Authority"? The same people holding up those signs in the 60s and 70s are the ones who want you to shut up and toe the line now.
- I suppose it's telling that 6-1/2 years into this president's time, few people have learned to spell his name, It's Barack. Barack Obama.
They say that history was made with the hiding of the flag of the Confederate States of America. I'd say the history it represented was buried. It's going to be harder to gain full understanding of the conflict now. Perhaps we are indeed doomed to repeat it.
- Nobody has a "right" to marriage. Gay or straight. Suppose you did, and you walked up to the marriage window; wouldn't they have to issue you a bride? Marriage is a commitment, a contract, and agreement between consenting parties. Calling it a right makes people think the uninvolved have to do something about it. We don't.

marriage started as religious obligation that became a cultural norm which the government finally sanctioned to be legal. asking the government to their power to coerce religious institutions to modify the religious meaning behind marriage is government over-reach and violates the 'separation of church and state'.
