GA Bans Gay Marriage

[Pangloss62]

None of Martin and Mary Fugate's descendants would have been blue had they not intermarried with a nearby clan, the Smiths. The Smiths were descendants of Richard Smith and Alicia Combs, one of whom apparently was also a met-H carrier. According to family historian Mary Fugate, the first known blue Fugate was born in 1832. Because of inbreeding among the isolated hill folk--the Fugate family tree is a tangled mess of cousins marrying cousins--blue people started popping up frequently thereafter. A half dozen or so were on the scene by the 1890s, and one case was reported as recently as 1975. They were quite a sight. One woman is said to have had lips the color of a bruise.

Easy. Most people need someone to hate in order to be able to love themselves.

I think most of the people in the world need "Live and Let Live" tattooed backward on their foreheads in their native language so that they are reminded to mind their own fucking business each morning when they look in the mirror.

Pretty much the same way you found out - a few years ago, different group of people, but similar conversation which piqued my curiosity and led to a web search for more info. I remembered the family name but had to google for the blood disorder name this time.

And the groundswell of support for "gay marriage' continues to take the country by storm.
