Looking at the news over this last week or so, I can't help but
wonder if we are seeing our future in Iraq. What I see is a
theocratic state, under the heel of a power that most of the people
don't want. What I see is a the common people, for whatever
motivation, fighting back against what they consider to be a brutal
occupying power.

The recent gay marriage debate has effectively re-ignited the
culture war and drawn attention to fundamental assumptions
concerning humankind's most ancient and sacred institutions. Those
in favor of allowing gays to wed plead their case in the name of
equality; those opposed ask us to consider the potential
ramifications for the sanctity of marriage and the integrity of the
family itself. Recently, even President Bush stepped into the fray,
advocating the passage of a constitutional amendment defining
marriage as a union between a man and a woman. The fate of this
initiative has yet to be seen. Meanwhile, state governments are

constituents, politicians do from time to time actually listen to
voters. I write and call again and again in the hopes of hitting
that golden "time to time" window.

Elk Grove Unified School District v. Newdow stirred a furor
in late March when it went before the Supreme Court to challenge the
constitutionality of the words "Under God" in the Pledge of
Allegiance. But the conflict has raised an entirely different question: Does a
parent's custody status determine if he or she has standing in a
court of law concerning their child's education, medical care, or
other related issues of well-being?
