Rusty, good column. I wasn’t sure if you were aware of this, but Constance Russell, the Judge, is a lesbian. Lots of lawyers and judges around Atlanta know this already, but the media hasn’t brought it up yet.
Seth,
I wasn’t aware of it. Where’d you hear that?
What’s most reprehensible about this (even more so than the bigotry I think) is it was written intentionally to be struck down. That displays a cynicism about the legal process that’s profoundly disturbing to me.
What I don’t understand is why people feel they can legislate morality? If the gay community wants to ruin their lives like the rest of us married folks have, Gods Speed. My great uncle and his partner have been together for 33 years. Longer than most marriages.
The harder you push people to conform the harder they will push back.
The article was well done and informative.
Ok, so Cathy Cox makes a statement about Georgia using 25% biofuel by 2025. It’s pure politics, but it’s an interesting idea.
I hadn’t decided who I’m voting for yet between Taylor and Cox, but listen to this reply from the Taylor campaign in the AJC:
The Taylor campaign did not address the fuel initiative but said in a statement that Cox “announces her new energy policy and then takes her campaign on the road in a gas-guzzling SUV with volunteers in a large gas-guzzling RV registered in Florida. You can’t trust anything she says or does.”
The pettiness, childishness, utter incompetence, etc. of this statement is enough for me to cross off Taylor.
Instead of acting like a five-year old, how about a response on the merit of biofuel and green energy? On closer inspection, Mark Taylor as an elected official and Mark Taylor as a campaigner consistently issues such snarky, petty statements, and ignores substance.
Again on closer inspection, when the GA Democratic Party ruled the state for 130 years, one of their various major blunders (No. 1 is the state of mass transit in GA, and its failure is 100% on the shoulders of state Democrats)
was allowing Georgia Power, the Southern Company and Atlanta Gas Light to have more political power than any group of utlilities in any other state in the U.S.
Georgia Power, the Southern Company and Atlanta Gas Light
have carte blanche to do whatever the #$%^ they want to do in this state, and GA Democrats enabled them to do so for decades, while taking their campaign contributions like a hungry pig at slop time.
Georgia Power, the Southern Company and Atlanta Gas Light
will fight biofuel and any form of green energy to the death. Hey guess what? A strong biofuel and green energy commitment in GA could mean tens of thousands of new jobs. Hmmm…think there’s enough sunlight in GA for us to take California’s lead on tax credits for rooftop solar panels?
Bioful and green energy are serious subjects. Just don’t expect a serious answer from Mark Taylor and his petulant campaign staff. Be a leader one of these days, Markie.
