[Peace-discuss] Love is Love! (and capital is capital)

[Karen Aram]

Yes, how generous and benevolent of the Supreme Court to grant individuals the right to associate, as if this is something the Supreme Court must do.  Some places in the world it would not be an issue, and the right of individuals to form associations with whomever they care to do so, would not be in question. 
The media is having a field day with how glorious this success is for those who have had to fight so hard for their equal rights. Forgive my cynicism, but the fact that people have had to fight for a right that should come automatically is an outrage. 
Now gee, with the confederate flag coming down, aren't we a great nation. 
 
Sincerely with anger, over such distractions from the killings, and destruction that are taking place on a daily basis in the US and abroad.
