he's not really that liberal, at least not in every sense, which is why I like him. He's actually not for gun control. I'm glad you learned about him here though, even if you don't like him.

The fundraiser went well and thanks for asking guys. Thanks to all
of you who showed up and amazingly alot of his campaign volunteers
showed up. Sorry to rain on your parade Brian but support for him is
rising and the man has a huge grip on the west coast. It cracks me up
though that you keep trying to discourage interest in him here on the
board.
For those of you who asked, the board isn't going anywhere and nor is
the site. We'll find a replacement for the current board and keep it
going as long as it serves a positive purpose.
Thanks,

I only get the Sunday paper and to tell you the truth, I don't
really care too much about the paper covering gay issues. If I want gay
news, then i'll tap into another source like the advocate. I don't know
much about the papers here and miss the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
I do read the Stranger and the Seattle Weekly here though, though I
don't know if I would call that news by any means!

Which newspaper do you subscribe to: The Seattle Times or The Seattle Post-Intelligencer? Do they lean one way or the other? Any Bias? How well do they cover gay issues? Just curious!

the bill is in parliament right now and has not gone through yet but should soon. it calls for a small fine for pot use of any amount under 15 grams but no criminal charge. in turn, though, the law has penalties that are more sever on trafiking of the drug. i guess Mr. Bush suggested that we not pass this because then he would ahve to increase broder checks and patrols. ah well.
Legalize it
Posted by Danny on 5/31/2003 at 19:45:28
IP: 12.242.162.217
The war on drugs is a bunch of BS and a waste of money. I also
think pot should be legalized or alcohol should be illegalized because
there's too much hypcocrisy there. If you've ever read about the history
of the drug war, you'll find out that pot was only illegalized not too
many decades ago to try to curve Mexican immigration. The government
claimed that the immigrants were bringing huge amounts of Marijuana with
them and it was destroying American society, therefore a stop had to be
put to both. It's all propoganda of course and pot is no more
destructive than alcohol.

" Saying Yes: In Defense of Drug Use" written by Jacob Sullum ;
It is basically a book about the failed War on Drugs and destruction
of civil liberties. The author supports making POT legal so i knew it
would be a book Danny would love. It has lots of facts and figures to
back up info. It has a simple white cover with a joint on it. Should
be very easy on Danny's glaucoma afflicted eyes.

everybody has their time and there is no need to shove sexuality
down anyones throat. As long as your sexuality is not the number 1
priority in your life, you and your friends should have loads to do and
talk about.
ask yourself, why does everything always revolve around sex and the
personal life?

I'm willing to pay more taxes, so that the country can feel that little

Now that comfortability did not come soley from the clinton era, I think
reganomics had a lot to do with it (this is where I show that I know

become complacent in their lives and were caught off guard almost four
years ago when bush was elected.
Have we been brought into mainstream just enough to get us comfortable
and are we unable to understand that much more work is needed to
maintain that status qou?

the
ban
Posted by Danny on 5/24/2003 at
07:52:40
IP: 12.242.162.217
Hey, thanks for throwing that up and as for Paul, I'll answer for
him since he's said this so many times I already know what he'll say.
Basically of course he feels that the ban is unfair and wrong but
ultimately the time isn't right to lift the ban. Our military is made up
of our countrymen, especially the lower class who are for the most part
extremely anti-gay. Therefore, they will go to any extreme to keep gays
out. The ban indirectly protects people because so many in the military
just aren't ready for that change. You can't force such drastic change
onto a group overnight when it's cohesion is so important and until our
country as a whole changes its view towards gays, it's really pointless
to keep aiming at the military. We're trying to change an institution
within within the greater American cultural institution and the aim is
misdirected. Our nation is still in the stoneage when it comes to
acceptance of gays and all of these other nations have lifted their bans
because they're so advanced on the issue as a whole. We can't compare
our situation to theirs. However, the time is quickly coming and its
only a matter of time before we see our hypocrisy and unfairness as a
nation and the policy tumbles. Patience is a virtue and this underscores
the continued need for gays to set positive examples and for stronge,
positive leaders to step forward.

I think most presidents would have handled the initial situation
in a similar manner but later downt he road would have been more careful
where we stepped, what we said and who we attacked. I don't think Bush
has done anything amazingly different than anyone else would have done
on 911 and after.

Well most Repubs will agree he isn't the most articulate
individual. He has a great team of advisors, but being able to direct
the knowledge given to him is just out of his reach.
Criticism of him aside, he has dealt probably with the most direct
attack centered at this country in 2001. Most wouldn't have thought it
would have ever happened. In Maine we never would have thought
terrorists would travel through here but they did (they stopped for
cigarettes by the store next to my building).
Hypothetically how do you think Gore would have approached he last few
years had he been declared the winner in 2000?

will be beat and if enough young people do vote, he can easily be beat.
The trick is getting apathetic young people out to the polls. I plan on
working with "Rock the Vote" again to help make that happen.

I didn't think he'd be as insane as he is. I wasn't terrorfied by
him being president even though I didn't want him to be. But then he
amazed me with how out of touch with the world he is. The man belongs
within the borders of the Republic of Texas and no where else. Maybe
alot of those who voted for him felt the same way? Does your man still
support him?

You should never vote by a poll. The PR machines get enough

and Kerry have equal chances. Dean is very popular out west and pretty
much the only candidate considered by most. The guy has a good shot at
this election contrary to the picture you paint.

of it and use it up pretty well. I stay fit and work out alot as well as
bike and run. There are always trails to be hiked, friends to be visited
and road trips to be had as well as other travel. There are books to be
read, websites to be tended, a house to be worked on, sports to be
played etc. I find plenty to do and it's amazing. Normally though in my
speaking season, i'm busy running all over the country, which means,
yes, there's no time for another job, which is fine with me! The summer

You must stay at the Ace hotel in Belltown (downtown). It's really
hip and cheap. It's also close to everything, including being above my
favorite bar in Seattle. As for food, get ready to eat lots of Asian
food because that's the easiest thing to find. Forget US comfort food

understand this kid well and just having a problem at making him

OK man, this is the last time i'll address this and then no more.
You're right, I haven't appologized to you because I haven't done
anything to you. Again, as I said before, You've twisted my words into
me saying "that all young people are unwise and have so much to learn."
That's not at all what I said and you exaggerated what I said. Young
people have alot to learn, though not all of them are as unwise as the
general population and not every adult is unwise. Some young people are
way ahead of their years and there are even a few out there who are far
beyond what most adults will reach. However, most young people have alot
to learn and we're all still learning for that matter. Each time you
bring this up though, you're proving your own immaturity. Listen man,
I'm 25 and you don't hear me whining about how wise I am because I know
I still have alot to learn in life and that there are plenty of older
people out there who can teach me more. (not to say that they all can)
If you were wise, you'd accept this and get off your youth-oriented
insecurity wagon. I know where you're coming from because I was there
once. I'm sorry to be so harsh with you, but this has gotten really old.
If you want a psychological analysis of your behavior, I'm going to give
it to you.
When you bring this issue up over and over again, it shows that you're
desperately insecure and searching for validation of your position in
society. However, by going back to this over and over, you're showing
the opposite of what you're wanting to be validated. I'm sure you're
well ahead of your years man, but you've got plenty to learn; So relax
and enjoy the ride. I'm not attacking you and never have. Everything is
fine.

I mean... college is such a good time that it's almost scary to think I'm gonna be in the real world this time next year, and even though I have all these plans about what I want to do with my life it still scares me to think that I'm not going to have the shelter of this awesome little town, and my friends to keep me company all the time (no matter what time of the night). I mean I know that we all have to grow up, but the idea of it sucks. The only thing I'm really excited about it the opportunity to travel as much as I can. I can't wait to see the world.

good morning ctoc. So i'm back home again and returning to a
normal schedule, well, as normal as it gets around here. I had an
awesome time in Mexico and Boston as well but am very glad to be home.
Matt, I just read your post and thanks for writing. Welcome to the site
and you really made me homesick for UGA again. How's Athens these days?
Enjoy that place as much as possible because it's magic. I've been to
alot of schools around the country and have found few that even come
close to what Athens and UGA have to offer.

Jhune, Hey man, i'm too lazy to log into my email account and
email you but this new board is pissing me off because I can't log into
my account, therefore can't use color! Also, i've got some dope pictures
from my vacation for you later. Lastly, if there's one more freakin
reference to "the picture", i'll personally come to your house and
strangle you. Come on people, have some tact and respect and quit
talking about it. Could you possibly get any lamer? I'm sick of the
subject coming up on my board.
Thanks,
Danny
Good Day

How's it going CTOC. Glad to see so many new people and so much
good discussion going on while i've been away. Jhune, not sure what
you've been doing with the message board but i'm unable to log into my
account now. Can you fix that? Thanks for the updates by the way!
Just so you guys know, that's actually an old picture from The RW9 book
posted at the top. It cracks me up because I look SOOO young in it. I
just returned from Mexico and had an awesome vacation. It's always good
to get out of the country and travel and put this place into a healthy
perspective. I wish I had time to respond to some posts but i've got to
get ready for my trip to Boston tomorrow. Maybe i'll see some of you at
the youth Rally there on Saturday.
Take care,
Danny

Brian is right, so much of it is in your own head. I think the
toughest part of coming out is admitting it to yourself. That's probably
your biggest worry that you haven't dealt with yet and that's why you're
not sure why is such a big deal. When you admit it to yourself, you
confirm the reality in a concrete way and that's #### scary. It's a "no
turning back" moment.

Comment: Coming Out

I was just wondering if anyone would reply with some insight on their experiences of "coming out." Right now I'm 22, gay, and afraid of coming out. I don't know if its me who is afraid that I'm finally acknowledging the inevitable or I don't know if its the fear of the repercussions that may evolve when I tell my family and friends that "I'm gay." Maybe its a combination. Basically I'm insecure when I don't want to be and just reading interesting thoughts and opinions would be empowering. I know I'm not alone in my viewpoints but its hard when you feel alone. Alright enough of the pity party for myself. Hope to hear from anybody.

My experience is it was more of a big deal in my head than anyone elses. I wouldn't worry too much about it, get it over with you'll feel better. Like pulling a band aid off, do it quick.

could this be any more true? I'm starting to think that the Bush
administration actually is Fox news and vice versa.

even though I think this is going a little too far into my personal
life, I'll answer it because I think it's an important issue. We don't
use condoms because we are monogomous. My slip up on the Real World
wasn't exactly sex considering it was a kiss, not that it's OK. It takes
alot to build trust and we do trust each other.

Danny, do you and Paul wear condoms? Since you are in a monogamous committed relationship i was wondering if you both wore condoms or have bareback sex? Do you trust each other and know both of you will be faithful and bareback or do you realise one of you might slip up and cheat (like you did on the RW:NO!Sorry!LOL). How do you both handle this? The reason i ask is a couple i know had a monogamous relationship so they trusted each other and had bareback sex. Well, one of them had an affair and now they both are HIV+. It only takes once! So do you have faith and bareback, know it might happen and put on a condom, or put your head in the sand and don't bother thinking about it? I think it is an important question.
This guy is "intelligent"

Not sure if anyone saw this one...this is quite an "apology"
Rockies' Jones Apologizes
Making Anti-Gay Remarks Public Was `Mistake'
May 1, 2003
Combined Wire Services
Colorado Rockies pitcher Todd Jones apologized Wednesday for his recent anti-gay remarks, but he didn't back off what he said.
"I think my only mistake was that I made my views public," a teary-eyed Jones said while making his brief statement. "And for that, I apologize to the Rockies and I apologize to my teammates for putting them through this."
In an entertainment story in The Denver Post on Sunday, Jones said he would not want to have a gay teammate and that gays should not go around flaunting their sexuality.
The comments were part of a story comparing the story line of the Broadway play about a gay baseball player to what might happen if the scenario played out in real life. The play "Take Me Out" is centered on the repercussions of a Major League Baseball player announcing he's gay.
"I wouldn't want a gay guy being around me," Jones told the paper. "It's got nothing to do with me being scared. That's the problem: All these people say he's got all these rights. Yeah, he's got rights or whatever, but he shouldn't walk around proud. It's like he's rubbing it in our face. 'See me, Hear me roar.' We're not trying to be close-minded, but then again, why be confrontational when you don't really have to be?"
A Rockies statement on the team website Monday said Jones' comments were "unfortunate" and did not reflect the team's views.

Nope, it's just a brief appearance at the youth pride event and
pretty much that's it. No speaking this go around.

Are you just jetting in for the Pride thing in the park or do
you have any other talks scheduled in Boston? I haven't heard your
talk yet, we might go see it and as a bonus our great Mayor of
Providence David Cicilline is also on the panel with you. Introduce
yourself, he's a good man, ran a great campaign here.
He was a virtual unknown here and ran on an anti-corruption platform.
He's openly gay and won 80% of the vote. It was amazing. And he's been
doing a great job since, cleaning up the mess from the last Mayor (who
is now in prison).
