The fecundity of life continues.....
As often happens, the party opposite the one in the White House has control of both houses of Congress again, and life goes on. Aside from the price of gas I can see little if any direct effect on my life. Now if I were to aspire to greater things, I would run into opposition. I still can't get married, but I never had any plans of doing that anyway. It bothers me that a majority of the voters in my commonwealth would want to ammend the consititution because they are so fearful I would want to be like them, but in an odd twist it seems like the joke is on them. I don't need their approval.
What amazes me is that only 57% of the voters voted in favor of the amendment. 43% voted against it. I have never been proud of a defeat, but I almost am this one. Tennessee and South Carolina had much wider margins, and just a few years ago I could not have imagined the total in my state exceeding 10%. At my own polling place, out of 300 and some votes, 91 people voted against the amendment. I wish I knew who they were, probably know some of them.
In the short run, little may change, but at least we have the perception now that the regime has a friendlier face on it. That those who yell and holler at us that we are immoral and damned, have a lower platform from which to criticize. The tide of war, hopefull recceding on all fronts.
I recall too, that once my country changed to constitution to prevent people from consuming alcohol. That didn't last very long. You can't stop a river. You can divert it, you can make it back up somewhat, but that force of nature has to go somewhere.

Now that's a diary! Very impressive. It looks as if the final published version is a tiny fraction of all that.
Thanks Shakes. Been too busy to get much further on in it but I can't wait.
