IMPORTANT UPDATE ON IMPEACHMENT BELOW The Supreme Court’s ruling allowing corporations to spend as much money as they want influencing elections is a horrifying example of how conservative sociopaths differ from any Pagan perspective, and why ALL religious people should do everything in their power to undermine and eventually reverse this insane ruling.

Many years ago when I first heard about the issue of gay/lesbian marriage, my initial reaction was “Big deal – there are more important issues around.”  My second reaction was “Marriage has traditionally been between a man and a woman, so why mess with it? Civil unions are just fine. Go away.” (My first reactions…

Salon has an interview well worth reading with Carol Joffe, author of Dispatches from the Abortion Wars.  In this time of Christian terrorism it is heartening to read a sane but sobering analysis of this issue.
