What does that have to do with public policy? I am sick and tired of the Bible governing the lives of U.S. citizens. I am not a Christian, so why should YOUR personal beliefs determine what goes on in MY private life? I completely agree. What the Bible says is illrelevent. The City of Cleveland is NOT a theocracy. Also, this state and this nation are governed by our state and federal constitutions which are suppose to grantee all citizens equality before the law. And in the case of our state constitution, it did, at least at one time that "Christianity nor any other system of Religion shall be part of the laws of this state".

The only thing I remember about the 80s is watching the fall of the Berlin Wall on the BBC in Thetford, England.

Very Cool. I've always wanted to go to Disney World or Disney Land!

I would like to take this time to congratulate the Premier of Quebec, Mr. Jean Charest on his victory! Congrats Vive Le Canada! Charest becomes first Quebec premier since 1950s to win three straight elections By Alexander Panetta, The Canadian Press MONTREAL - A premier whose political obituary has been penned repeatedly celebrated an electoral feat Monday not even attained by giants of Quebec politics like Rene Levesque, Lucien Bouchard and Robert Bourassa. Jean Charest became the first Quebec premier in more than half a century to win three consecutive mandates as his Liberals appeared poised to win a razor-thin majority mandate after 20 months of minority rule. His victory carries a host of potential implications for Canadian politics and will be greeted as welcome news in the nation's capital. Charest's Liberals won or were leading in about 65 of the province's 125 ridings, while the Parti Quebecois won the bulk of opposition seats. The Action democratique du Quebec, the upstart right-wing party that found itself last year within a whisker of power, was restored to its traditional place in Quebec's electoral wasteland with barely a half-dozen seats. When Charest called the election Nov. 5, he invited a flood of accusations that he was cynically holding an unnecessary vote only to take advantage of his party's strong poll numbers. He argued that Quebecers needed a stable majority government to weather the coming economic storm and hammered the theme right up to the last moment. "The backdrop to this election is the economy, which for us is very important," Charest said as he cast his own ballot in Sherbrooke, Que. "Choosing the next government that will have the responsibility of leading Quebec in this economic period is extremely, extremely important." His election gamble appears to have paid off. After nearly losing power in the March 2007 provincial election, party members were whispering about replacing Charest as recently as last fall. But several key events propelled his improbable journey from lamentable poll numbers to some of the highest recorded levels of voter satisfaction in provincial history. The ADQ bombed in opposition. Charest reorganized his office. And the premier bolstered his nationalist credentials by picking the occasional fight with Ottawa. He now becomes the first premier since strongman Maurice Duplessis to win a third term and the reverberations of his win will be felt across the nation's political landscape. Already, Charest's name comes in Parliament Hill chatter whenever the subject turns to possible future leaders of the federal Conservative party. Monday's result will do nothing to quell such talk. But the more immediate result is that the sovereignty debate remains relegated to the back burner of the national conversation. Such stability will come as a relief to Prime Minister Stephen Harper. A Charest loss would have produced an extremely rare alignment of Canada's political stars: a separatist government in Quebec City facing a federal government headed by a non-Quebecer. Pierre Trudeau, Jean Chretien and Brian Mulroney held office for all but a few months while the PQ governed in Quebec - the only exceptions being the brief reigns of Joe Clark and John Turner. The recent federal election campaign offered vivid examples of the potential volatility Harper has been spared with Monday's result. His Conservatives were overwhelmed by a backlash in the province over arts-funding cuts, and after failing to detect it they were so badly thumped by the Bloc Quebecois in the ensuing public-relations war that it likely cost them a majority government. Charest was, to the dismay of Conservatives outside Quebec, among the more vocal critics of those funding cuts. It was the latest twist in his increasingly strained relationship with Harper. Ironically, the ups-and-downs of that relationship have been as pronounced as the topsy-turvy trend lines of Charest's own improbable career path. A one-time wonderkid of federal politics, Charest was practically forced to abandon his job as federal Progressive Conservative leader in 1998 and make the leap to provincial politics. He lost his first provincial election several months later. He was given up for dead by the province's pundits as he entered the 2003 campaign in third place among francophone voters. But a solid performance in that year's leaders' debate capped a surprise comeback win. Then, halfway through a gaffe-plagued first mandate, Charest appeared destined to remain a one-term premier as he recorded some of the worst polling numbers in Canadian history - with approval ratings spiralling into the teens. That's when Harper took office. With a province-friendly government in Ottawa, Charest made a staggering political comeback as he gained a series of concessions for Quebec: more federal cash transfers, a special spot for at the UN's cultural forum, and a recognition of the Quebecois nation within a united Canada. But the relationship with Harper began to sour when Charest immediately used Ottawa's so-called fiscal imbalance cash to cut taxes. Conservatives expressed their displeasure that Charest's move could prompt a taxpayer backlash elsewhere in Canada - and Charest replied that he didn't owe Ottawa an explanation for his budgetary choices. Charest lost his majority government and almost lost power in the election in March 2007. A few months later, he and the prime minister nearly stopped speaking when Harper attended an event with Dumont. The prime minister could hardly be forgiven: many members of Charest's own party were musing that his days were numbered. One potential successor had even jokingly printed up T-shirts for his leadership campaign. It was around that time that Charest reorganized his office. Bolstered by a staff that included former aides to Bourassa and one-time Ontario premier David Peterson, Charest stuck to a more narrow and focused agenda and struck a more nationlist tone with Ottawa. Meanwhile, the ADQ was flopping during its big audition. Dumont himself admitted that his party was ill-prepared for a stint as the official Opposition, one he hoped would serve as a stepping stone to victory the next time around. The PQ slumped to third place under Andre Boisclair in 2007 but Pauline Marois lent the party a healthy dose of gravitas in its attempt to win more than the 36 seats it claimed 20 months ago. The PQ appeared poised to take more than 50 seats this time around.
