    Governor Jim Douglas is showing all the backbone of a jellyfish. As soon as a few right-wing zealots in Vermont turned up the political heat just a little bit, he buckled and caved to their demands.

    Makes me glad I'm a Canadian! I sincerely hope that the ignorance stops and people find better things to get upset about...the war perhaps? I find it quite easy to see why the one lady's nephew is a confused teen; bigoted, narrow-minded upbringing may have a part to do with it.

      How many of these letters are from people actually in his state and care one way or the other, and how many have come from pseudonyms, people out of state, and forms from lobbying groups?

      Some people who enjoy the rights and privileges others don't, are reluctant to share. Excluding people you don't agree with and denying them the same rights is discrimination.
