  • US achieves Equal Marriage across all states

    The full judgement is here.

    But the essence of it is contained in this one paragraph.

    No union is more profound than marriage, for it embodies the highest ideals of love, fidelity, devotion, sacrifice, and family. In forming a marital union, two people become something greater than once they were. As some of the petitioners in these cases demonstrate, marriage embodies a love that may endure even past death. It would misunderstand these men and women to say they disrespect the idea of marriage. Their plea is that they do respect it, respect it so deeply that they seek to find its fulfillment for themselves. Their hope is not to be condemned to live in loneliness, excluded from one of civilization’s oldest institutions. They ask for equal dignity in the eyes of the law. The Constitution grants them that right.

    I think you mean Alan Cumming – though I’ve never see the Good Wife.

    Alan is certainly Scottish and can be seen along with someone else you know on the front cover of this publication.

      The Good Wife is one of my favorite US TV shows. He plays the part with no detectable accent whatever, unlike his fellow Brit, Archie Panjabi, who speaks with a very proper accent, but from who know where. This past week Alan’s character kissed a girl and they liked it!

          So he’s always had bad hair! The Ginger’s cute. Are those natural accents or tuned up a bit?

            Tuned up a bit though you do hear people speak like that.

  • Yes and No to AV

    It is a curious thing to discover that I live in a tiny enclave which has voted Yes to the Alternative Vote whilst there has been an almost universal rejection of it elsewhere. I didn’t think it would pass and it did indeed turn out to be the compromise that no-one wanted. A year ago,…
