There are enigmatic splendors in the parable of the Bananas, whether it was revealed to tooblue or whether it emerged from his indubitable religious genius." --Harold Bloom

At any given point in the discussions on prop 8 we all are both the artist and client; all of the arguments for or against are absurd. It’s absurd for the client to be so narrowly focused. It’s equally absurd for the artist to expect the client to trust him despite demonstrable evidence to support his assertions.
Is any single argument presented here so convincing it has changed a majority of person’s opinions on the subject? We all are dissatisfied and disenchanted. Therefore, ultimately, it is a question of faith. Many will choose to align their faith with societies ability to craft laws to the benefit of all persons. Many will choose to align their faith with religious ideology and oppose actions deemed detrimental to their beliefs. In a supposedly free society why deride others for the exercise of faith? |

I think people have had their opinion changed on this issue through discussion. Not all of us are as bullheaded as you assume. |
