Classic example of the East-West split in Washington State. The East side (Spokane, Yakima) isn't particularly happy about being outvoted by the Sea-Tac-Olympia Megaplex.
Won't come to much- I hope. Probably some more cranks will get together and talk about joining up with N. Idaho.

Oh, leave the poor Cougars alone.... In the greater scheme of things, it's not a bad school. Now, I think UW is superior academically (and athletically at the moment), but let's be clear that WSU is far superior to many other colleges across the nation.
Just imagine: Huskies and Cougars, lying together in peace and harmony, eating Ducks for dinner....

Or we could agree to finally divorce (ha) religious marriage which should have no legal standing, from contracts between two consenting adults who wish to grant each other visitation/legal rights, be on the same insurance plan, etc., which should have no religious (read: discriminatory) barriers.
I realize for most of you this is the kind of endorsement that will only diminish your view of this OBVIOUSLY IDEAL plan, but Ron Paul suggested as much the other month when he was on Jay Leno's Tonight Show.

Still, small steps.
There is a principle in U.S. jurisprudence called "comity," which basically says that one state will honor the legal declarations of another state. This has almost always applied in the case of marriage - which is why some states scrambled to put laws on their books that expressly said they didn't recognize (or didn't have to recognize) same-sex marriages from other states.
Otherwise, you know, Teh Gayz would get themselves married where they could and move to where they couldn't, and destroy all heterosexual marriages in the process.
