Boy, someone makes a quip and you lot jump on him. Feel good about yourselves do ya? Did you beat up the class clown in school too? (to be clear, that was a joke. please don't beat me up)

Oh Starshine, I enjoyed this one--still laughing. I love the puns.

"If we go as far to assume this is about drinking and getting behind the wheel, then where does it end? Do we bash new restaurants, and wine tasting rooms around town as well?"
Yes, Pete, that's exactly what they do. Whenever any article is written about wine, these people show up with their repetative negative comments. Holly, Bill, we've all read what you think before. There's really no need to keep repeating yourselves, and I hate to think of all the emotional torment you must go through every time you read the food and wine section of the Independent. Do your blood pressures a favor and only read things you enjoy--we'll all be happier for it.
Pete, don't worry about them, and keep up the good work. Wine and horses are two of my favorite things and I think your idea is inspired. Best of luck to you and I hope to make it on one of those rides myself. Sounds fun!

As a conservative, you know what I like about this article? How Starshine manages to make this issue NOT about Right and Left politics, but about individual rights. That's what she chose to point out about Iowa. And I appreciate that. Too often Rights and Lefts pigeon-hole eachother - like a lot of you have done in the comments section - when the issue of gay marriage isn't about political self-identification.
I am socially conservative, and I think it's appalling that gay people aren't allowed to marry. I think it's tantamount to denying interracial couples the right to marry. It's so backward for this century and my generation that I can hardly conceive that it's an issue. Didn't we defeat this mentality 30 to 60 years ago?
I saw a bumper sticker today that said "marriage = man + woman" and I thought to myself that when my children are the age I am now (mid-20's), seeing something like that will be like seeing a "Whites only" sign on a water fountain today.

If and when I become a parent, I hope I am just like Katherine Stewart. She's my new role-model for motherhood. Thank you so much for this well-researched, insightful and fearlessly written article. I am inspired.

I think every numbskull who voted for that silly high speed train ought to be taxed triple. It probably wouldn't make a dent in the overall economy, but it might make the idiocracy realize that things have to be paid for.

I'm going to see Tony tonight, and I am so excited! Such a brilliant speaker. He has been an idol of mine for a long time.

How kids feel about their school is so important--the school experience can either foster a lifetime love of learning, or kill it. I was a transfer student and I can't tell you how much of a difference it has made in my life to have gone to Vista de las Cruces in Gaviota for 3 years instead of being in one of the worst-behaved classes Jonata had ever seen. My parents would have had to shell out a ton of money they didn't have for private school I guess, which probably would have meant losing the house. Kicking out transfer students is very serious business. Kids -- and families -- aren't that resilient.

Wow, I had no idea that Republicans were so well represented in the Independent readership. Cool!
I just think it's sad that his unfortunate soundbite--"Whether you like it or not"--tanked prop.8. With friends like that, who needs enemies. :/

I liked the way you wrote it up - it's a challenge to make a chain sound interesting and human. Not just a challenge for the writer, but for the chain as well.
