Dearest Doug: Clowns are quite proximate to spiders in my world view. Given the painting, perhaps yours also? | |

I'm afraid the waxing process will require a temporary suspension of dignity. | |

Holly in NC:
Hey anyone else in NC - I am sad & tired & have a horrible feeling that amendment 1 is going to pass, largely because many folks voting "for" don't realize *what* they're voting for. Even more disheartening - seems someone in my wonderful, progressive "against the amendment" neighborhood stole the lone "for" sign in the hood from our neighbor's yard - which is shameful & wrong & probably totally solidified that family's "for" vote. Sigh. People on both sides need a friggin' primer in freedom of speech & other basic rights in our (very putative) democracy! | |
|
Tue. 5/1/12 6:01pm
Matt from Springfield:
Hi Holly! That's not good civic or neighborly character, unfortunately our democracy is still not perfect, probably never will be. I had heard though, that after polling taken North Carolinians were turning against Amendment 1 in droves. It should be at least competitive. | |
|
Tue. 5/1/12 6:03pm
Artie:
@Holly: Most everyone I know is pitching in on the Amendment 1 effort. Can only work and hope for the best. My go-to argument for those who might not otherwise be convinced is simply that it's bad for business, esp. the creative and tech companies that seem to be NC's future. See: http://www.startupsagainst1.com/ | |

reading about amendment 1 now - a good argument Artie | |

Doug Schulkind:
@Holly You can take some solace in the fact that opposition to marriage equality is a purely generational issue. The old intolerant fucks are dying off. If no one above 65 had voted in California, Prop 8 would have gone the right way. |
|
Tue. 5/1/12 6:13pm
Matt from Springfield:
Right on Doug! Even in Virginia, the oldest and uptight of Old Dominions, support for full equality advances slowly--as a youngster I too take solace that every day opposition is being buried in the ground, and there ain't no one coming in to replace them. | |
|
Tue. 5/1/12 6:13pm
ndbob:
true Doug - even many young evangelicals support marriage equality | |

On a musical note, I'm amazed at all the accordion in Brazilian music--sounding almost like Tejano music with all that squeeeeezeeee box! | |

Matt from Springfield:
Portuguese Sukiyaki!!! Btw, Brazil actually does have a sizable ethnic Japanese community, from immigration a century ago. I'm sure some of them have cooked up a Brazilian version of sukiyaki... | |

Holly in NC:
@Artie - given the demographics of most amendment supporters, I've actually found it most helpful to talk about effects on children & unmarried seniors. One would think these generally conservative voters would also be pro-freedom & anti-government intervention, but unfortunately not the case. Another instance where religion (& I use that term loosely) does more harm than good. Do people not get that THEY WILL BE USING THE CONSTITUTION TO LIMIT, NOT GRANT FREEDOMS? If the amendment passes, it will surely eventually be overturned by supreme court - a long, slow, EXPENSIVE & totally unnecessary process. It's already illegal for gay couples to marry in NC, which I'm pretty sure is all most of the right wing religious zealots care about. Take amendment 1 and add "white" or "black" before man & woman & you'll see we shouldn't have to fight this fight again.... Ok, off to apologize to those "for" neighbors & then come back & enjoy Doug's wondrous selections " :-) | |

A study in my native state Maryland, which just passed marriage equality, shows that it will bring something like an addition $90 million in revenue to the state. |

I think that marriage equality will be a long time coming to North Dakota | |

Glad Doug is making a return to the Mothership! I can now listen to GTDR at work, but it's always a treat to hear him on one of either stream! | |
|

♥
Tue. 5/1/12 6:32pm
Doug Schulkind:
@ndbob Probably due to the state's relatively small and older population. Someday in the not distant future, we will look back and wonder what all the frickin fuss was about. (At least who don't already see it this way.) |
|
Tue. 5/1/12 6:35pm
Matt from Springfield:
"Main stream", "WFMU proper", "the Mothership", or "WFMU Land"...I used to refer to the whole collective enterprise as WFMU-Land, but with GTDR's growth, all the other streams and podcasts we got going, I think the better way to call the whole enterprise is: "the WFM-Universe!!" (I forgot who I heard that from, but I love it!!) | |

Agreed Doug.... even though there's a strong libertarian streak here | |

@ndbob: - Hear & feel ya. Those of us in NC who live in the Triangle/RTP or Asheville areas forget the rest - the majority - of the state voted for Helms, what, 6 times? But things ARE changing. Slooooooowlllyyy.... | |

@Holly around that ... I grew up in Maryland.... North Dakota has changed quite a bit in the four years I've lived here.. an all Democratic congressional delegation that's now two Republicans and one Democrat - The Dems may hold on to the other Senate seat though. | |

Is it true, Holly, that spiders come inside during tornados? (I just made that up.) |

No, but it is true, Doug, that exceptionally venomous spiders from the Dominican Republic get quite, well, excited when they hear a lot of cool Brasilian music. Could be hitching a ride on a shipment of fair trade coffee to a dj near you! :-) | |

Thanks Doug. And sheesh, 'dogged persistence?' Uhhh- maybe just figuring out how to keep doing something else. | |

@tr'sh - Congratulations! I'll be 4 years out Dec 30. Aside from (semi) taming my beloved feral kitten Foster & catching a state champion-sized king mackerel I can't think of anything of which I'm more proud. Ok, that's pathetic. I need to invent a vaccine or somethng. | |

Holly, my dearly departed cat Mouse was a mackerel tabby. When you turned him over (at your peril) he looked just like the fish. |
