GA Bans Gay Marriage

Kitsune · 07-07-2006, 10:09 AM

I weep for my homestate but, ah, this was not unexpected from them. Sigh.

Funny to think that a lot of rural GA is considered (D) country. My friend that worked for the GOP campaign said they wouldn't even think of rolling their vans through some farm country out there for fear of being attacked.

Yeah, Kit. The shift from Dixiecrat to Republican is pretty much complete in most of the South. Then you have Zell Miller. What a head case he is.

When are they going to ban inbreeding?

Sorry...that just slipped out.

Well, Elspode, I know of a strange kin group up in TN that are likely a result of something like that. They are known as "The Blue People." They are called that because their skin is so thin and pale that all their veins can be seen. I've only heard of them, but they have been seen by people I trust. Kentucky/Tennessee border. Weird shit.

I don't know what role inbreeding played, but the blue people (the Fugate family) had a blood disorder called methemoglobinemia.

This sort of reminds me of the origin of the term "blueblood", which came from European royalty being so inbred that they were pale (and hemophiliacs, too), so their veins showed prominently through the skin.

Hmmm...synchronicity?
