There is not much you can do to convince me, and I cannot do much to convince you.

For the third time I think we will have to agree that we disagree.

I just can't believe that in the face of scientific factual evidence, you would choose to remain ignorant and be happy about it.

I never agreed to disagree, you are wrong, plain and simple.

Even scientific facts can be debated.

Well, let me say this - I've agreed to disagree. Now you are free to continue this line of discussion by yourself....

Well-this matter has now crossed the great divide.
From the Left Coast to the Right Coast:
"NY state agencies to recognize gay marriages

NEW YORK (Reuters) - New York state has instructed government agencies to recognize same-sex marriages conducted out of state or abroad, renewing debate on an issue that was used to rally conservatives in the last U.S. general election.
The directive could impact everything from health insurance to public housing and organ donation. It was welcomed by the New York Civil Liberties Union, which posted a copy on its Web site and said it was "a milestone in the fight for fairness."
In the memo dated May 14 but not publicized at the time, Gov. David Paterson's legal counsel, David Nocenti, said state agencies that do not recognize gay marriages could be subject to liability.
The directive follows a New York appeals court ruling in February that valid same-sex marriages performed in other states or countries must be recognized in New York........."

Will be very interesting to see just how this plays out.
