Hi Gang, Just here to vent abit. Well now, just a few hours ago our lovely Senate passed the Gay marriage bill. It made it past the Assembly then the Senate just as our ferret bill was suppose to go. The gay marriage bill will be on the Governors desk (I think) in the morning. He will probably veto it just like he did our ferret amnesty bill, SB 89, last fall. Perhaps he will either veto or sign it rapidly, instead of letting it linger on his desk for 28 LONG days like he did our ferret bill. It was like a slow agonizing death waiting to see what we was going to do with our bill. Each day Arnold waited just helped build up our hope that he would actually sign it. I hope he shows mercy and makes a decision quicker so those involved in the bill either way won't go through the agony we did waiting. Our current ferret legalization bill has been buried from what I understand and won't be heard in the committee ( Senate Appropriations) that it needs to be heard in before going to the Senate floor. Why is California so ass backwards. We are first in the states to approve Gay marriage through legislation and the last in the contigious states to legalize ferret ownership. Is ferret ownership REALLY more controversial than Gay marriage? Does any of this make sense?? Hey Alexandria I am sure you can come up with "something" that would make this work! Perhaps we can make it an amended law that each married gay couple has to have a ferret as a ring bearer. Or maybe only ferrets can perform the marriage ceremony. I have to make this funny or I'm going to cry. I want MY family to be legal also!! Sad in CaCaLand, MAry JO ps thanks for listening, you're a great group Peace to those in harms way in the wake of Katrina. May your maker watch over you and your little ones.
