Rev Al Sharpton on Prop 8
Jan. 13th, 2009 10:42 amGakked essentially word-for-word from ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
jimkeller's post from a posting on the L.A. Times' L.A. Now blog, who in turn snagged it from Southern Voice:
From the pulpit of Tabernacle Baptist Church on Sunday, Rev. Al Sharpton called out the Mormon Church and other conservative faiths for mobilizing to support Proposition 8 to ban gay marriage in California while refusing to be as involved in any other social concerns.
“It amazes me when I looked at California and saw churches that had nothing to say about police brutality, nothing to say when a young black boy was shot while he was wearing police handcuffs, nothing to say when they overturned affirmative action, nothing to say when people were being delegated into poverty, yet they were organizing and mobilizing to stop consenting adults from choosing their life partners,” Sharpton told a packed audience on Jan. 11.
“There is something immoral and sick about using all of that power to not end brutality and poverty, but to break into people’s bedrooms and claim that God sent you,” Sharpton added.

AND
I've been living up here in the PacNW for nearly two (2) years now (3/21/09'll be my 2nd anniverary). My standards of "typical/average/normal/usual" are still being set. This is the second year running of early Winter big/bad/major flooding in WA.delerium3 (also a PacNW newbie) and I hypothesized yesterday that the phrase "Hundred Year Flood" means that for the next/on-going century it'll flood annually.
EDIT: May you be/stay safe/dry/well, all you folks up yonder!

And now, the laundry buzzer beckons...
