Apollo as god

In mythology, Apollo is one of the most important and many-sided of the Olympian deities. Apollo has been variously recognized as a god of light and the sun; truth and prophecy; archery; medicine and healing; music, poetry, and the arts. (from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo )

Rich people do not speak for me.

Rich people, even gay rich people, do not speak for me.  Rich people can afford to buy their civil rights, live in blue colonies of  respect, isolate themselves from the dirty slurs and calumnies of middle- and lower-class workplaces.


Obama has NOT done enough to rest on any laurels.

DOMA, the Federal anti-marriage law aimed at same-gender people, is still in place..  ENDA, though it's been kicking around for decades and would offer employment protection, shows no sign of being ENDA-ed.  States continue to raffle off our civil right of marriage to the majority of homo-hating voters.  And when the flat-earthers can, as in Iowa, they remove judges who understand and vote to ensure civil liberties are NOT available to the highest bidder.

clip---  The President has spent the last few months telling us "We can't wait' while using his executive authority to make needed changes. Sounds like Bean and Birch are telling the White House, don't worry, we'll wait. I hope the President's team don't think those two speak for the community. Many people, the kind of people who can't drop $35,800 for a fundraiser, can't wait. They could use the protection.
