:D Some people at the school where I go report that bans on same-sex marriage can be tied to a rise in the rate of HIV infection.
Wayne:
I had thought that the GOP takeover of the NY State Senate meant there would be no chance for same-sex marriage in NY this session. But there are some interesting twists going on. One of the two Democratic defectors, Pedro Espada, is a cosponsor of the (pro-) gay marriage bill. He said on radio yesterday that he supports gay marriage and he thinks it will come to the floor for a vote.
And Towleroad reports today that Joe Bruno, Former New York GOP Senate Leader, Supports Gay Marriage.
Just a little something to feel better about.

:D OMG this one is especially for Jess!!! :o :laugh: :-*
Olam Ha-Ba: The Messianic Age
The world after the messiah comes is often referred to in Jewish literature as Olam Ha-Ba (oh-LAHM hah-BAH), the World to Come. This term can cause some confusion, because it is also used to refer to a spiritual afterlife. In English, we commonly use the term "messianic age" to refer specifically to the time of the messiah.
Olam Ha-Ba will be characterized by the peaceful co-existence of all people (Isaiah 2:4). Hatred, intolerance and war will cease to exist. Some authorities suggest that the laws of nature will change, so that predatory beasts will no longer seek prey and agriculture will bring forth supernatural abundance (Isaiah 11:6-11:9). Others, however, say that these statements are merely an allegory for peace and prosperity.
All of the Jewish people will return from their exile among the nations to their home in Israel (Isaiah 11:11-12; Jeremiah 23:8; 30:3; Hosea 3:4-5). The law of the Jubilee will be reinstated.
In the Olam Ha-Ba, the whole world will recognize the Jewish G-d as the only true G-d, and the Jewish religion as the only true religion (Isaiah 2:3; 11:10; Micah 4:2-3; Zechariah 14:9). There will be no murder, robbery, competition or jealousy. There will be no sin (Zephaniah 3:13). Sacrifices will continue to be brought in the Temple, but these will be limited to thanksgiving offerings, because there will be no further need for expiatory offerings.
