DOMA and Prop 8. Both History.

Bump a few points of INT over to WIS and you'll take my meaning as intended.

From what I've seen so far. He really doesn't have that much points to shift around. Then again that's the price you pay for taking the 'Fanatical Radical Expialodocius' trait. -90% to your stat point pool. But taking the 'Red Bubble of Invulnerability (to common sense and logic)' might be worth it. It seems to be working out fabulously for comrade there.

After all, before commie-ism, did ice cream ever taste as sweet? No.

Before commie-ism, was sunshine ever that warm and bright? No.

Before commie-ism, was I ever so dashing, brillig, all a gymbre in my word saladry? No.

Before commie-ism, did I truly know who I was, what things were, how things should be, the way they truly -should- be? No.

I am Commie-ism. Commie-ism is me. Effulgent.


TL,DR version: My-topia is better than your-topia. But Mental Myopia is bestest Utopia.

SCOTUS seems to be playing it safe. They refused to hear a case about a same-sex marriage from Nevada which, like the Prop 8 case, was challenging the constitutionality of banning same-sex marriage. My understanding is it could have led to a Loving v. Virginia kind of ruling (which declared bans on interracial marriage unconstitutional nationwide), but SCOTUS decided to chicken out and kick the case to a lower court. I assume this means that, whatever the outcome of this case, its impact will be felt only in Nevada.

It'd be interesting to see what the longer term impact is. Every time I think humanity has taken a small step forward, something usually pops up that says 'not just yet...' Then again I'm a bit of a pessimist.
