    So what has happened here is the fight has been reignited because someone doesn't accept the Supreme Court decision. I still say the place for consciencous objection lies in resignation

    The court felt a need to prove a point and used this situation with a county clerk to do so. Other options were available besides jail time. And yes, she could have followed other options as well.

    Times are certainly changing... it wasn't that long ago when the first amendment was valued enough for allowances to be made for those who objected going to war due to their religious beliefs.

    Even several years ago, while not due to religious beliefs but their own views, a few high ranking officials defied laws in their states that were against same sex marriage by requiring licenses be issued. Interestingly, no one went to jail for not following the law.

    More and more of these same issues, and others, will be seen as society continues to move in a different direction. It will be interesting to see the results as clashes occur in schools and elsewhere.

    Already changes in a number of universities which some welcome and others are left wondering how far will things go before there is either acceptance or a backlash, are being seen.

    The backlash has already begun. Some students just arent putting up with it. The "tolerent" ones are nothing but that. They preach it every day and yet seek to destroy all oposition at all costs to get their way. It is a strange world that we live in. It is no wonder that the once great America is becoming the laughing stock of the world as we are destroying ourselves from the inside.

    This is the price of "freedom" and PC, the lines have become blurred, and the moral base of the society decayed
