cuth, it would have been nice if we could have all drank at the same water fountains, but we couldn't until the state said we could - and even then it was hell for most. It would be lovely if gays could just find someone to marry them without the state being involved. What's the state of the state you're in? In one scenario, what do you say to the little boy who, from the time he could walk & talk, has had more female traits than male, and doesn't want anything to do with boys? Is he a sinner? Is he going to hell for being born with a brain that betrays him, or does it only betray you? Same with a girl. Being different isn't a sin. Being hateful is. America is and probably always will be slow to get with the program. Why the state must be in yer business is the way it's always been, and probably the way it's always going to be. I don't like it, but whatcha gunna do?

Apples & Oranges.
water fountains => state intervenes in private matters of discrimination; mutual consent of parties not present
straight marriage => state grants state-created status and benefit to select group
gay marriage denied => state withholding state-created benefit and special status
gay marriage allowed => state grants state-created status and benefit to another group, decreasing the number outside the group, but still separating people and setting liberty at an imbalance.
any state involvment in marriage => state intervenes in private affairs of mutual consent
state uninvolved in marriage => no special status, benefit, or group created.
It's a quick shot, and a bit dirty, but it hits the main points of my issue with your analogy.

Stop it, I'm blushing.
Would that more in power thought more and felt less when exercising that power; we'd have far less labarynthine laws and, likely, more liberty.
DCK
I couldn't agree more; my main point is that neither they, nor anyone else, should be forced to submit to some buffoon with a state pension for the privilege of the misery.
Also, that the state shouldn't create special classes of people, no matter how wide the circle of inclusion; it flies in the face of the concept of equality.
If anyone missed me, now is your chance to take better aim ;?)

hi all? and hi joe?
I would like to introduce myself earlier,I Roni from indonesia. I want to join here because I want to know more about joe satriani and also want to learn to play guitar as good as joe satriani. because I am still new in learning guitar,and I want to be able to play the guitar,or play the melody is good and right. So I asked for help and guidance to all my friends and especially to joe satriani. Once again I beg his help,and sorry if my request a little too excessive. Thanks

To be honest I haven't had much reason to aim, we had (have?) similar views on certain things though I find you a tad idealistic at times. Wouldn't want you to change though, society needs (IMO) peeps like you. Does Cuth the ranter post his thoughts elsewhere?

idealistic?
Absolutely. People can't understand the compromises (and what is lost/gained within) without first knowing the extremes, or ideals of a position.
Shoot for the stars, have a chance at the moon.
elsewhere?
Used to have a blog long ago...thought about another, though I only ever made 6 or 7 posts on the other before taking it down...don't know if it's worth the time/effort to try again right now.

You know what cracks me up? New York passes Gay marriage but won't allow Mixed Martial Arts in their state because it's a shot against New York's moral and family values. LOL!! Wow. That certainly leaves nice debate on both sides of that topic.

With seemingly no assistance, I'm trying to contact Mr. Satriani for an interview (email or telephone) for two music websites, including Ultimate-Guitar.com. Any assistance appreciated, or if Mr. Satriani is reading this. Thank you.

I would try to work it through Mick, Joe's manager. His contact infor can be found by clicking through the "credits" link at the bottom of the page.
How's the weather up Sudbury way? It's been a while, but I love it up there.
Maybe Donkey Hotay has some other suggestions?
