Dear Mom and Dad, You raised me to be a man and a proud American. Please don't vote for someone who would shamelessly take my rights away! Please don't cast that all-important ballot for someone who has publicly vowed to pursue a constitutional amendment to prohibit gay marriage.

(MY view) Home for the Holidays Means "Family"!
by William Kapfer
Via Edge NY
There’s this idea that holiday gatherings with loved ones are supposed to be joyful and stress-free. Images of happy families laughing and dining together around a festive table, as in Normal Rockwell’s famous 1943 "Freedom from Want," underscores the familial ideas for which so many of us pine. At least this is how the Thanksgiving, Christmas and Hanukkah holidays are portrayed in magazine ads, television commercials and blogs that bombard us 24/7. Although today’s family units are much less cohesive than are portrayed in the media, I would argue that in my life, such happy scenes reflect my reality.
