Amendment Targets Gay Marriage in Massachusetts

News:

This week, Massachusetts lawmakers will consider a constitutional amendment intended to roll back the state’s law, unique in the country, which allows same-sex couples to wed. The initiative has been championed by Republican governor Mitt Romney, said to considering a presidential bid, and several of the state’s high-ranking Catholic officials. The bishops have rejected criticism of the amendment as discriminatory, saying same-sex couples are suffering from “an exaggerated sense of entitlement” in believing they deserve the same rights as other American citizens. 165 prominent business and civic leaders, including the mayor of Boston, have taken out an ad in Boston papers urging the state legislature to reject the amendment.

How do you like the UNC brochure showing the mountains in the background? I'd like to know how they did that!
Greeley as a whole is pretty hostile to education, so it has a strange disconnect with the university. It's a university town without the university community. There is very little for university students to do there, not much culturally, and the redneck attitude has managed to keep any kind of university culture limited pretty much to the campus.
