    And to address your issue with a judge issuing a decree that does not represent the peoples wishes.. . Do you know the percentage of liberal, gay, hippy lifestyle people who just want equality and happiness for all in California? Even if the Governator is a republican, I bet that percentage is pretty darned high.

    The fact is that the People of California ,one of the "bluest " ststes in the union,voted in referendum the law defining marriage that the judges overturned . They voted it in by a huge majority. (61-39 percent margin)

    Can you say that you truly think any group will be able to keep marriage to only hetero couples? The world becomes more open minded every day.
    And when that day comes ,when the people determine it ,I will not like it ,but I will at least accept that the people decided it.
