Man's Miracle

Ludovic Masciave is a 36 year old father of 2 who was driving his car through the French alps on February 10. He was driving on a road under a large rock face on the opposite side of a mountain of a popular ski hill. As he was driving a 20-ton boulder crashed down onto the top of his car, leaving his 4x4 car so badly damaged investigators couldnt tell the make of it. Investigators say that the overuse of the mountain area around the boulder eroded so much that the boulder became loose and fell from the mountain at just a moment to land on Masciave's car. Masciave says he remembers waking up in the car and being "completely compressed" with his back against the bottom of the door and his torso being pushed down upon by the boulder. As recuers arrived on scene they were all expecting the worst, a dead body, though as they freed Masciave's body from the car they saw a miracle. Masciave was lucky enough to have been able to compress himself into a small enough area to live through this severe and nerve racking event. He is in the hospital now, condition improving, and says he is just glad to have earned another chance to live.

California Stands for Gay Rights

Yesterday in California, "Prop. 8" which is a proposition against gay marriage was struck down by a federal appeals court. Proposition 8 has been in the court system being shot down, revised and appealed in California since May of 2008, where it was originally an answer to an earlier proposition. This past November the court found that this proposition after being shot down again earlier in the year, was eligible for an appeal and believe you me, there were plenty of people to fight for that appeal. The proposition was brought up again in the court systems in California recently after it was found eligible again. This caused much conflict, being seen by many as a necessary appeal, and by others as just another attempt to take away more rights for gays and unconstitutional.
Yesterday this proposition was finally found unconstitutional due to the constitutional rights of gays and lesbians to wed. This caused much uproar in California, partially because of issues found with the ruling, and the reasons behind it. It is said that even though the gays and lesbians of California are technically within their rights to marriage as of yesterday, the marriages will probably not continue anytime soon due to the suspicion of more appeal attempts being made in the next few months. There are some that do not believe this though, some people believe that many gays and lesbians will rush to the courts and get their marriages approved in the time that they have left. What do you think? Is it fair to try and strip people of their rights and threaten them will law suits and court propositions just based in their personal sexual orientation?
