Very nice CG.

It's amazing how this stuff is still going on and it's not until someone speaks up that it gets noticed. When it does, it suddenly becomes a national and international story. It appears that this guy refused to marry at least 4 other couples until he found the wrong ones to mess with.

In some cases, I feel sorry for people caught in the 'media spotlight'. In other cases, I don't care if they burn up like an ant under a magnifying glass.

This so brings back the history of Loving v. Virginia. In that case the couple was exceptionally brave in risking jail. The judge who sentenced them reminded me of this guy.

Quote:
The trial judge in the case, Leon Bazile, echoing Johann Friedrich Blumenbach's 18th-century interpretation of race, proclaimed that “ Almighty God created the races white, black, yellow, malay and red, and he placed them on separate continents. And but for the interference with his arrangement there would be no cause for such marriages. The fact that he separated the races shows that he did not intend for the races to mix.
Why is religion wasted on assholes like that?
