It has been over 24 hours now and the roar has dimmed a bit. I was glad to see this post as it was an outlet for people to voice their opinions. Unfortunately some comments degraded to the level personal attacks and arrow slinging which was unnecessary. This is a topic that for many, especially those of us in Califorinia who were recently married, is like an open sore and people like Warren just keep putting salt in it. Those who want us to just pass it off are simply on the outside looking in. I know that if my marriage is ultimately dissolved by the courts, it will be very difficult for me to maintain my christian values and not go out on a screaming rampage looking for blood. But that does not make it right. We have been hurt many times out here, but this time was one of the worst and holding that creature in front of us is like a kick to the groin. But, I will hold out and keep my mouth shut and wait for the results.

The last thing we need to do right now is attack each other and fire personal insults. This is when we need to give each other support. An offering of an olive branch (or olive oil if you are a foodie) or an apology would not be a bad thing and shows just how big we are as men. I, for one am sorry if anything I have said has caused offense, not because of differing views, because that is my right, but if anything I wrote was interpreted as a personal assault. It was not intended. Let's reset the clock, eh?
