Wonder if the churches would be in favour of voting when the electorate could pass legislation they oppose?

There's the wind and the rain
And the mercy of the fallen
Who say hey it's not my place to know what's right

There's the weak and the strong
And the many stars that guide us
We have some of them inside us

Mercy of the Fallen

One of my Dr's at the V.A. told Sheila and I that in his country (Some little country, I forget the name of) That women marry all the time whether they are gay or not. If a woman cannot have a baby she can take a wife and they choose the man to be the father of the baby. Then the two women raise the baby as a family.
He said nothing personal, but Americans think they are so advanced when in some ways they are so backward.
If I see him down there I will ask him where it is he is from. His wife was coming to join him here on some kind of program he is working in for Doctors. Sorry but I was as sick as a dog and don't remember all the info.
He also said he has sex with woman on contract which is ok with his wife, but he pays for the AIDS tests first. This is allowed because it will keep him happy while his wife is not here (I was asleep for that part.) Sheila is telling me. When his wife comes here, he only has sex with her.
Hugs,
Laurie

That is so interesting, Laurie. I was thinking the same thing your doctor said when I read this article: "Americans think they are so advanced when in some ways they are so backward".
