Can we move beyond Carrie Prejean and Donald Trump now?  Seriously, this is what the news is focused on?  Torture, tanking economy, health care reform, Afghanistan, Iraq and Pakistan, and what we are talking about is this?  Seriously?  The only intelligent comments I can make on this circus, is that when you are in a public forum, and you are in the spotlight, you can say what you want, but you also have to be responsible and accountable for what you say.  When you are not responsible, then you get hit with a firestorm, and you should.  It is not about silencing people who speak from their heart, it is about integrity, honesty, and accountability.  It is not even about gay marriage because when you strip away the Christian rhetoric, I do not believe this young woman would have another reason.  And when it comes to law, Church and State are two separate entities and must be separated.  Once you start invoking God on any issue, I stop listening because that holds not weight.  And while so many of our relatives fought for freedom of speech, they fought for separation of Church and State, Civil Rights, the Right to Privacy, Equal Protection under the law, the list goes on and on.  Now can we get back to listening to rational and intelligent people on important issues?  Please.
