Rare diamonds don't lose their worth do they? No matter if other diamonds are found, the old ones are still sought after.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21572303.post-38506644879115476732008-08-01T22:32:00.000-07:002008-08-01T22:32:00.000-07:00Thanks, Esther.

Maybe she will be an unwitting messenger of rationality.<BR/><BR/>I do think she is likely a very wonderful person. I think in 30 years she might think back on these days with a touch of shame -- but only if her side wins. If we can defeat this -- and go on to win Federal marriage equality -- she will be able to forgive herself and let most of the shame slide right off.Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03139711818373541945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21572303.post-74568003334540965252008-08-01T17:36:00.000-07:002008-08-01T17:36:00.000-07:00Hey Tom,I just checked the blog of the "lovely LDS...Hey Tom,<BR/>I just checked the blog of the "lovely LDS woman" to see whether she responded to my comment and I saw that it was deleted! I am so angry. What an incredibly rude thing to do. I mean, if you're going to have a public blog and accept comments, don't delete a comment simply because you disagree with the point of view. I mean, I wasn't nasty or anything.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I just had to vent. I like the fax machine analogy!Estherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16076517542540421210noreply@blogger.com
