Hell Hath Frozen Over

Imagine my surprise this morning when I logged onto the grid to find this music news:

Ben Moody, Rocky Gray, and John LeCompt reunite along with Marty O’Brian and Carly Smithson announce the formation of a new rock band to be called The Fallen.

Thus, a new page has turned.

Tell Obama and Holder: Stop defending DOMA.

June 17th, 2009 by DhammaSeeker

Dear Reader,

They compared same-sex marriage to a marriage between an uncle and a niece. Or between two children. No, we’re not talking about Rick Santorum. We’re talking about the Obama administration’s Justice Department. The brief the DOJ presented defending the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) in federal court was not just wrong. It was offensive. The New York Times called it “disturbing” in its lead editorial.

Back in the days of the 2008 campaign, Senator Obama promised he would work to overturn the Defense of Marriage Act. But now that a gay couple in California is challenging DOMA in federal court, President Obama has chosen to take action to defend a law that prevents legally married same-sex couples from receiving any federal benefits, or from having their marriages recognized in other states.

I just signed a petition to tell President Obama and Attorney General Holder to withdraw this offensive brief and apologize for its contents. (The website also has a great video of Rachel Maddow and Howard Dean discussing the importance of this issue!) Please have a look and take action.

On this small planet, in the daily dreams of our life

June 15th, 2009 by DhammaSeeker

“On this small planet, in the daily dreams of our life, beneficial deeds are always recommended, simply because we are all born to help each other. By sharing our love with different expressions and through the practice of generosity, morality and understanding, we will then be fulfilling our purpose of being members of the human race.”
- His Holiness the Gyalwang Drukpa May 2009
