Dictionaries are Great!

The “Yes on Proposition 8” signs are still disappearing. There are some signs that remain up and not vandalized. There are other signs that have been spray painted with a “No” over the “Yes”. It seems that if you oppose Prop 8 then you are in favor of stealing and defacing property. I see very few “No on 8” signs. I guess all of their money has gone into commercials. Regardless of which side of the issue a person is on, we all have a right to our opinion without tearing down another person’s opinion.

Prop 8 is about a definition. It takes away no ones rights. It defines the word marriage. The Merriam-Webster's definition is: "a. the state of being married. b: the mutual relation of husband and wife. WEDLOCK c: the institution whereby men and women are joined in a special kind of social and legal dependence for the purpose of founding and maintaining a family." For those that oppose Prop 8, they need to talk to Mr. Webster. He can be found turning over in his grave.
