A Thought on Amendment One
Dear Friends:
If you live in North Carolina, I would humbly request that you exercise your right as a citizen tomorrow and vote, and that when you do so, you vote against Amendment One. Regardless of your stance on gay marriage and civil unions - and I am not going to attempt to change anyone's mind to my way of thinking, because, frankly, that trick never works - you should vote against this thing. You should vote against it because it is bad for North Carolina.
It drives off potential skill workers who might exist in "non-traditional" civil unions. Drive off the talent, and you make North Carolina a less appealing place for employers. Make North Carolina a less appealing place for employers, and companies leave. And when companies leave, jobs leave.
So.
Vote against the job-killing legislation. Even if you don't support the right of two consenting adults to get married because of their particular biology, this thing's bad for you. And for all of us.
