Plus, they load really well, even on a laptop like mine that usually needs an hour to buffer everything.

Now, apparently, the Mormon church is getting involved in the fight against California's decision to allow same-sex marriage. They are pushing to have California's state constitution amended so that it clearly "define's marriage as being between a man and a woman."
