[> [> [> [> [> Subject: I've already given you the facts about SLC. Author: Ned Depew [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 17:53:02 06/17/05 Fri The facts are that no permanent employees of SLC lost thier jobs as a result of the rejection fo the proposal for the Greenport plant. Three contract employees who were specifically hired to work on the Greenport project through its approval or rejection were let go when the proposal was withdrawn, but the same number of people are employed by SLC in the region at this time ase were employed at the launch of the proposal in 1999. Those are the facts.

They just don't have to keep waving it in our faces all the time. If two fellas wanted to get married who weren't gay would that be alright?

[> [> [> [> [> [> [> Subject: No one's waving anything in your face, Gene, Author: Ned Depew [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 22:00:28 06/18/05 Sat If we allow some competent, adult citizens the right to form a household and take advantage of all the privileges and undertake all the responsibilities that involves, then we must do it for all competent adult citizens. Otherwise rights are not "equal." It's a pretty simple concept. Why should gay life partners not have the same rights - to retirement and social security benefits earned in concert, to community property, to act as health proxy, to child custody - that are routinely and unquestioningly awarded to heterosexual life partners? People are asking for basic fairness, Gene - equal treatment under law - which our Constitution guarantees to all citizens. Where I come from, if you make a promise and you want to consider yourself a person of honor, you had better keep it. Is it different where you grew up?
