About
I don't have any particular political affiliation but will attach myself to certain issues. I don't like "jargon" to describe people or issues, like "liberal"; I think it's lazy and replaces critical thinking. I read a lot and I put polls up on issues when I want to compare my opinions against those of others. Often I'm surprised and that's what I like about Ask500. I'm back in Maine (thank god) now after having spent 8 months in Germany and 6 weeks in Krakow, Poland. I did go back to Poland, near Warsaw, for six weeks but am back. I'm home for good now.
After years of mostly ending up on the "liberal" side of things, I'm tending right a little over this illegal immigration issue and I'm becoming more jaded about our Congress. I have to fight feeling hopeless about our country.

Personally I wouldn't care if they attended. I think a private prom will probably be held. Unless you have lived in the south you can't imagine what a huge part religion plays in everyday life. But, change has to start somewhere,like sitting in the front seat on a bus. Given of course that you think homosexuality should be accepted by everyone. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/us_lesbian_prom_date
The core of this problem, is that quite a few fundamentilists, conservatives and the like have a hugh issue with homosexuals and how it relates to their interpretation of what is right and wrong about sexual perference etc. Its my take that you're not going to legislate away this core belief thru a law like it was in the case of Blacks. Belief that Blacks were'nt allowed in Heaven (ie: Mormons until what 1976), or someone notion that really was unscriptual and certainly not supported by any theologain (worth their salt), was a weaker platform. There was no percieved moral high ground that was sustaniated. This is the core of this issue, local school districts are caught in the middle, shucks most administrators (my guess) go to the same churches as the parents outraged by actions and requests of homosexuals. It is fair? Nope! I think church and state trumps it, but down in Deep South it'll not be easy to adopt il-regardless of the law.
Their cancellation of the prom for all is about as moronic a person can imagine. Such events make me feel sorry the South lost the Civil War. It would have been the North's gain. :-)
