Call it what it is

   In California there is a movement to ban gay marriage. Funny that eh'. I do want to say though that it is very refreshing to me that the Attorney General renamed the proposed amendment to reflect the reality of what it is trying to accomplish. The proponents of the amendment wanted to call it the "The Voters' Right to Protect Marriage Act," but it was renamed "Marriage. Elimination of Domestic Partnership Rights." Has anyone noticed over the past few years the rather Orwellian naming of things that have been opposite of their names? The "Clean Air Initiaitve" that made it easier to pollute. The "Patriot Act" that stripped Americans of various civil liberties.
   While we're renaming things, why don't we call more things what they really are instead of dressing them up in what looks like really bad drag. Like Bush's "Culture of Life" - how about "Life. Who Cares What Happens After You're Born." Or "protecting the institution of marriage" instead could be "Fucking Up Gay Familes Whatever They Do." I think "Compassionate Conservatism" could use a facelift too. How about "Congestive Cretinism."
