Don't Ask, Don't Tell
By Louise
According to Congressman. Barney Frank, a repeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” will “likely be included as part of next year’s Department of Defense authorization bill in both chambers of Congress,” It could go into effect Oct. 1, 2010. Without a lot of flash and pomp, it seems that step by step the President's campaign promises are being kept.
The Mormon church supports gay-rights ordinances passed by Salt Lake City, Utah that ban discrimination against homosexuals, although the church said it continues to oppose gay marriage. Hey, in the Deep South the first step was to oppose lynching. Step by step.

I think Thom meant Hoity-Toity when he was talking about Friedman(unit) and said "join the Hoi Poloi"

Dont get this twisted. The Mormon church is STILL VERY discriminitory! I am out here in Utah and the people, the teachings, and the overall attitude is very much against the gay community. It is sad that so many people have such a hard time allowing themselves to except others.

From Unequal Protection, 2nd Edition:
"Beneath the success and rise of American enterprise is an untold history that is antithetical to every value Americans hold dear. This is a seminal work, a godsend really, a clear message to every citizen about the need to reform our country, laws, and companies."
From Unequal Protection, 2nd Edition:
"If you wonder why and when giant corporations got the power to reign supreme over us, here’s the story."
From Screwed:
"Hartmann speaks with the straight talking clarity and brilliance of a modern day Tom Paine as he exposes the intentional and systematic destruction of America’s middle class by an alliance of political con artists and outlines a program to restore it. This is Hartmann at his best. Essential reading for those interested in restoring the institution that made America the envy of the world."
This is a huge step for the Mormon church. I grew up in Utah.
