Motorcyle ride to redemption
Learning to ride a motorcycle is a long and winding road. California is full of people with all sorts of interesting hobbies that border on the edge of insanity. One example of an insane hobby involves putting on a helmet, a jacket and a pair of gloves, long pants and shoes or boots that cover your ankles, and then getting on a gas powered rocket. After taking a detour for six years, I am getting back on the rocket and on the road to owning my first motorcycle. I began my journey in November of 2003 by registering for a motorcycle safety course on Travis Air Force Base. The course was a Department of Defense requirement for airmen operating motorcycles on a military installation. Tha

Conversation about: A third way for the marriage debate
Can someone please help me clarify something here? So, if this proposition passes, will "husband" and "wife" also require a new legal definition?

Conversation about: A third way for the marriage debate
Hmmm... I gather that you are calling for the detachment of religious ideology or tradition "custom of the past" from what exactly? Article 1 Section 4 of the California State Constitution states, "Free exercise and enjoyment of religion without discrimination or preference are guaranteed. This liberty of conscience does not excuse acts that are licentious or inconsistent with the peace or safety of the State. The Legislature shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion..." So, now I guess we need a definition of religion, right? Yes we do. "1 a: the state of a religious <a nun in her 20th year of religion> b (1): the service and worship of God or the supernatural (2): commitment or devotion to religious faith or observance 2: a personal set or institutionalized system of religious attitudes, beliefs, and practices 3archaic : scrupulous conformity : conscientiousness 4: a cause, principle, or system of beliefs held to with ardor and faith" (religion. (2009). In Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary. Retrieved March 11, 2009, from http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/religion) Now, let's take a look at the California State Constitution's Preamble: "We, the People of the State of California, grateful to Almighty God for our freedom, in order to secure and perpetuate its blessings, do establish this Constitution." Well, should we start letting everyone write their own version of the California Constitution? Or better yet should we have a Wiki-Constitution?

Conversation about: A third way for the marriage debate
So, when you say "the state" I suppose you mean the state government? If that is what you mean, is it true that we the people elect our officials to represent us and govern us? If the answer to that is yes, then are you saying that the people we put in charge need to step aside? If the answer to that question is yes, then once they step aside, leaving civil society to define marriage, how will this issue be resolved?

Conversation about: The Sacramento Coffee Tour
Nope, but there is a 24 hour drive-thru at Starbucks in Dixon and the cafe is open from 4:30 AM to 12:00 AM. You should be bold and venture outside borders of Sac.
