Should we jump on the bandwagon with San Franscisco and just start doing our own gay marriages? We have a lot of rules here that no one else has anyway, so maybe we could make this into a big revenue generator. It should at least keep us in the public eye. Maybe they would offer to clean up our lakes if we stop. What do you think?

What was the 'backslash' (\) in your post for?
Californians are different.
I think we should just let them be that way and leave it at that.

No sir...you're different. You're simply a piece of redneck white trash who's unable to see himself as he is. They aren't different, you are...

Don't worry about him, montyman. Minnow's problem is he hates white people (well... atleast one of his problem's, I mean  ). Remember the illegal immigrant thread? Go back and look at his posts from it, he never simply say's, a white person, he always says "white trash". Who know's, maybe he's white himself & just hates his own heritage.

Too late to jump on the "gay marriage" bandwagon--we'll have to pick some other subject that is so controversial, so inflammatory, and makes so little sense that it can only happen in a "bizzaro" alternate universe.
We've already tried building a COURTHOUSE and a SCHOOL to make people come here, we've RAISED TAXES in an attempt to attract people, and we are in the process of RAISING TAXES AGAIN for a LAKE PROJECT WITH NO DEFINED GOALS. STILL not bizzare enough to grab national attention! 
A decade ago, gay marriage, black reparations, building an oversize school and courthouse, and raising millions of dollars in taxes for "cleaning up the lake" (with no idea how it should actually be spent) would have been laughable--today, it is "Cutting Edge". Perhaps we should look at other nonsensical ideas--pedohalia, bestiality, a NAMBLA center, or Midnight Basketball Tournaments to burnish our image. I'm sure David Rask Behling has a lot of others. Like California, Freeborn County is a "trendsetter" of social change--things that once were unthinkable are now mainstream here! (sarcasm)

LOL  jimhanson, I was hoping this posting would lighten things up a bit on the forum. Yeah, maybe we could just rename the place Bizzaro World and start doing everything backward, red light means go, green means stop, up button takes you down, stop worrying about attracting private business and just try to build more government, etc.

Since the "Gay Marriage" issue has already been taken, how about if we take a page from the Mayor of San Francisco and unilaterally LEGALIZE POLYGAMY? "Loving and Committed Partners" could then be loving and committed to SEVERAL partners, of either sex!
Even Utah--with a reputation of a "fun state" hasn't come up with this one!

You know, I have a hard time finding much rhyme or reason in ANYBODY's marriage... why would I want some lawmakers who don't know me telling me who I can and cannot love? Most marriages end up in divorce anyway... sorry if it's not optimistic but it's true. So what on earth is anybody trying to defend?

You see...Albert Lean's hate change. They like it to be as it's always been. Back in the old days they could legally bash gays and descriminate...but now they feel they must except new thought and this does not compute in their old relic like brains. So they feel they must tell certain people who they can marry and who can't...not out of any logic per say...just out of the fact, it's always been that way...
