Has anyone ever thought that when things like economies go really sour for most people, "culture vultures" seem to soar ahead, whoop up this or that hatred as if then anyone THEY endorse de facto will be a saviour, and pending say all we have to do to fix this or that is organize rage against scapegoats without looking in-depth at anything else? You know, like MyMood Alibabajihad or bin Laden or Hamas or Hezzbollah says "wipe out all Jews, THEN we can relax and not be mean to our own people", or a cult leader says anyone speaking against him is "the devil" so stay only in the cult compund, or Stalin said "smash capitalistic Western nations, comrades, and then the Soviet inner ring will extend to all of you as part of a great nomenclatura"?

Well, it's pretty sour in the USA these days, social phobia is at a global zenith, and so many desperate people want to believe quickies like sending all the jobless to showers in the east, raging at gays, and changing the rate of immigration but NOT anything else will turn America into a land of milk and honey again for the "remaindermen".

Many officials in the USA, Governors to Courts, are all of a sudden this HOT summer in bad times coincidentally tossing out same-sex civil unions; I propose that such officials in this instance may be interested NOT so much in extinguishing some peoples' rights, but preserving order on the whole; an email I made to Hawaii Governor Lingle's office might best exemplify what I mean here:

"As a Christian, I appreciate that many people of diverse or no religious beliefs together do not care for homosexuals, even though many critics then have no problem with say Registered Domestic Partnerships in lieu of marriage for heterosexuals; obviously, the main objection is lack of preference for a lifestyle rather than any even religious moral objection despite gloss and soundbytes.

A certain Catholic-based group asked me to send the within communication but on basis I would be congratulating you for upholding God's word; but even there I myself run afoul of Catholics when I ask why Acts 10:34 and relevant et sequitur doesn't make new-style male/female unions and activities "abominations", or point out that the earliest Christians re Roman soldiers taking and having relations with young men they mentored for military careers thought that the only thing that mattered was how such in such "union"...and like ANYONE else...how such men treated then everyone else on earth in comprehensive life.

I'm sure that your Honorable office also grapples with the obvious gaps in moral compass even critics of same-sex partnerships, and feels frustration over salient nonsense...especially again as the root of public disdain is based on will, and given current culture, "culture-vultures" who pander to any expression of vented public frustration(s).

Therefore, I believe it possible you vetoed the legislation not as a "culture-vulture" yourself, but in nature of doing the best one could to quell "ego raging" and promote safety of the persons at-large in your State...including homosexuals and anyone who could be lashed-out at as or coincidentally present near "scapegoat targets".

In such spirit of belief that you have properly acted in vetoing the bill on same-sex unions to keep peace and more easily identify the truly most bullying for processing by State authority, wherefore, I commend you for doing what needed doing to prevent the public from being exploited into using their own frustration(s) as the useful idiocy of those pushing hate for personal aggrandizement."

In other words, whether in the USA or elsewhere, maybe...just maybe...some officials are trying to re-focus attention from reactionary primitivism back onto things that DO actually have major control or influence over the affairs and dreams of most peoples' lives, with hopes people will stop waiting for a narcissistic, wholly uncaring culture vulture to be the epicenter of their intelligence and ideas for the future.
