Muck, Inc.

by Debra J. Saunders

Over beers, Brian McConnell and his buddies came up with the idea to put a measure on the San Francisco ballot to rename a city sewage plant after President Bush. Ha, ha, ha.

OK, they've had their laugh, and they even gathered more than the necessary 7,168 signatures to qualify their measure for the November ballot. It's Proposition R. The question is: Do Ess Eff voters want to give San Francisco bashers yet another reason to believe this is a city run by brats?

Ma'am; You square old world is tipped high up on one corner and you are standing on a slippery slope. I can't say which way your world will tip, but I would be very surprised to see it settle bottom down. So, I have to wonder that you can't find any idea with more moment than frisco brats. You have to understand ma'am, that everyone has their community and everyones community supports their rights. I think the gays ought to load up San fransisco, and turn it into a community willing to support their rights. I think they out to outlaw heterectual marriage just to see how much we like it. If your side of the choir wasn't always so much in a hurry to abolish rights on the basis of a majority vote, people would not feel like they had to be in the majority anywhere. The whole people have got to be in the majority. They have to turn on anyone who makes anyone scramble to cover their rights. Rights should be sure. We have to be able to count on our rights. All those people who want to use the machine of government to abridge or endanger rights are in the wrong. And I will not doubt that it is time to tell certain people to get off and walk. And it is a shame that it has come to that when all the people support the right of some to destroy rights for all. That is not what government is about. It should not be made about killing civil rights. We need -spelled out and certain rights- which no majority, no matter how significant, can take. If people are living in SF because they are queer, and they are made to feel unwelcome in a land that is theirs, and yours, and ours then they should not be attacked, but welcomed back. America is made of rights. It is not a piece of geography. It is a society of rights....Thanks....Sweeney
