In Texas There is Christmas in June
Texas Governor George W. Bush officially declared June 10, 2000, JESUS DAY. What became of Separation of Church and State? Henry Messer— gay activist, Triangle Foundation (Michigan)--in an e-mail to GayToday Peruvian Mayor is 'Over' the Rainbow The days may be numbered for the rainbow flags that fly in the mountain breezes of Cuzco, Peru's tourism mecca and ancient capital of the Inca Empire…Cuzco Mayor Carlos Valencia and members of the City Council want it scrapped. Valencia's concern is not with the rainbow itself, but with a similar rainbow flag used to symbolize gay pride. Lucien O. Chauvin—“ Anti-Gay Sentiment May Bring End To Peruvian Town's Rainbow Flag”—Fox News, August 30 Ann Richards on How to Be a Good Republican:
1. You have to believe that the nation's current 8-year prosperity was due

2. You have to believe that those privileged from birth achieve success all on their own. 3. You have to be against all government programs, but expect Social Security checks on time. 4.

Ann Richards-- (former Democratic Governor of Texas) Civil Union Tensions in Vermont The tension has grown to the point that 168 residents recently signed a letter, printed in the local paper, decrying "the divisiveness, hostility and mistrust we see overtaking our towns since the passage of the civil unions law." They described "a climate of fear being created by people whose alarmist tactics discourage rational debate" and called for a return to "a spirit of community." Carey Goldberg—“Vermont Residents Split Over Civil Unions Law”— New York Times, September 3 The Silver-Tongued Infidel to a Presbyterian
Is it not strange that people who admit that they ought to be eternally damned, that they are by nature totally depraved, and that there is no soundness or health in them, can be so arrogantly egotistic as to look upon others as "monsters"? And yet "some of your brethren," who regard unbelievers as infamous, rely for salvation entirely on the goodness of another, and expect to receive as alms an eternity of joy. Robert G. Ingersoll—Part one of the orator's debate with the Presbyterian theorist, Dr. Henry M. Field, published in the North American Review, 1887 Sexual One Liners
Exit Newspaper-- South Africa, September The Fat Naked Fag Focussed on Winning the Game
In my experience, straight people are more relaxed with gay people when gay people
act as if being gay is the most normal thing in the world (which it is to us) rather than
making an issue of it.
That's how I live, and, personally, I never encounter any anti-gay anything (though I'm fully aware it's out there). That's how Richard Hatch lived his life on the Survivor island, and 15 apparently straight people helped him win the game and a cool million.

Conflict of interest keeps an ordinary citizen off a jury. Conflict of
interest got Bill Clinton, Al Gore, Newt Gingrich, and other politicians in
hot water. Shouldn't it keep PAID scientists from having credibility? One can
scan the ranks of high-profile AIDS apologists and easily spot the ones who
own AIDS patents or stock in pharmaceutical companies, who pull fat speakers'
fees from drug conferences, or whose research was funded by assorted interest
parties. If these guys were running for President, they would already be
toast over this issue.
Patricia Nell Warren—A&U Magazine, September Fight Killer AIDS Drug Kings In South Africa, where 4.5 million people have HIV, no one can afford Pfizer's killer prices. AIDS activists in South Africa and the United States have been demanding that Pfizer drop the price or allow generic production of the drug. In South Africa, Pfizer's patent means that even the government must pay $4.15 per pill, while in Thailand, where Pfizer does not have a patent on fluconazole, the drug is only $0.29 per pill. In Kenya, where Pfizer also has exclusive rights, fluconazole costs $18.00 per pill-more expensive, even, than U.S. prices.

That some of your brethren look upon me as a monster
on account of my unbelief, tends to show that those who love God
are not always the friends of their fellow-men.
