[baarn] Landslide victory for 20 million animals!

[Guest guest]

AND MORE GOOD NEWS: Massachusetts passed " Question 3, " to phase out

greyhound racing. And Washington passed an assisted suicide ban (Oregon

being the only other state to have done so).

 

Sadly, three states passed bans on same-sex marriage (California, Arizona,

Florida).

 

I'm thinking about starting a petition to ban straight marriages, since

more than 50% of them end in divorce, setting a terrible example for us

gay folk.

 

Cheers,

Eric Mills, coordinator
