Now that the civil unions issue were defeated in the State Legislature this year, we can start reviewing women's right to vote (Aug 1920 - less than 89 years ago).
"All that is necessary for evil to succeed is that good men do nothing." (in my world change that to good people)
-Edmund Burke
John, and all the other supporters of civil unions - we made a mistake, a very BIG MISTAKE.
We thought common sense and forward thinking would win out and we did not need to voice our opinion LOUDER AND CLEARER. In hindsight, we needed to be out there also protesting. We needed to get together here days before the vote and show our support for civil unions. I am afraid the hoopla against was louder and forefront and was much greater than the support for change.
Next time, and there will be a next time, count me in on the inter-island flight to Honolulu to support change.
