More evidence in the Kobe Bryant story that seems to greatly strengthen Bryant's case in what has seemed all along as an over-eager prosecutor trying to get his 15 minutes of fame. Cases like this make women who were actually raped less likely to come forward after seeing the muck they'll be raked through. This case seemed like grandstanding from the moment it happened and I expect to see Bryant exonerated in the trial. Roger Simon says pretty much the same thing but with significantly more comments than me. |

Missouri overwhelmingly votes to ban gay marriage. While there does seem to be a movement underfoot to allow gay marriage, this result shows that it has yet to gain serious footing in the South and Midwest. Regardless of how you feel about the result, this is how democracy should work, not through the courts but through the people, voting their consciences or their moral beliefs or whatever they use when they vote. It will probably be another generation before gay marriage really has a chance and two or three before it's seen as something resembling normal. No one ever said democracy, or cultural change for that matter, was fast or easy. |
