Reading Shirley Nagy's "How do I keep my home" makes me think that she left part of the story out of her article. If she has been in her home 22 years, and probably started out with a 30 year mortgage, the figures don't add up. How many times did she refinance and take money […]

Clarification needed in homeowner story
02/28/12 at 11:46am by Letters Editor | Comments
I am confused by Shirley Nagy's essay. If she bought her house in Delhi 22 years ago, how can she owe a balloon payment in 30 years for $128,000 on a house valued at $87,000? Something is missing in her story. What did she originally pay for the house 22 years ago? Has she been […]
Homeowner to blame for predicament
02/28/12 at 11:41am by Letters Editor | Comments
According to the Hamilton County Auditor, Ms. Nagy bought her house in 1990 for $64,900. Now she owes $128,000 for the next 30 years and then owes a balloon payment of $86,000. And how could that be, unless she did a cash out refinance. It was HER decision to pull cash out of her house. […]
Meltdown began on Clinton's watch

On Sept. 30, 1999, the New York Times published an article entitled "Fannie Mae Eases Credit to Aid Mortgage Lending." The essence of that article I quote as follows: "In a move that could help increase home ownership rates among minorities and low-income consumers, Fannie Mae is easing the credit requirements on loans that it […]
Home loan rules
09/01/11 at 8:51am by Letters Editor | Comments
I totally agree that mortgage regulations should be stricter ("Getting a mortgage may never be the same"). When my wife and I bought our first home, you didn't consider buying a home until you had 20 percent down, spent no more than 28 percent of gross income on housing and no more than 36 percent […]
Financial meltdown the fault of liberals
08/29/11 at 6:53pm by Letters Editor | Comments
This is in response to the story "Getting a mortgage may never be the same." Whether it will be the same depends upon your point of reference. When I was younger, if you couldn't afford a house you couldn't get a loan to buy one. It was as simple as that. You rented until you […]
Consumer responsibility will end recession
08/29/11 at 11:53am by Letters Editor | Comments
While the federal government and political parties are trying to find ways to stimulate the economy and end the recession, there is little left to do that has not already been tried. In fact, what has been tried has only postponed and deepened the recession. Had the federal government not activated programs/policies designed to stimulate […]
About time Fannie/Freddie con exposed
05/12/10 at 5:03pm by Letters Editor | Comments
Thank you Enquirer for the Kevin Hassett syndicated column ("Freddie, Fannie push bad loans," May 12); finally, the world appears prepared to talk about the elephant in the room. These government regulated con artists, who drew up the scheme to finance sub-prime mortgages that people could not afford, are still at it. Chris Dodd is […]

Amazon.com Inc.'s sales contracts with some of the world's biggest publishers, Simon & Schuster and HarperCollins, are next up for renewal, signaling that skirmishes over e-book pricing are set to spread.
The dollar, euro and pound are all unappealing investments, either because of policies of "benign neglect" or concerns on the euro region's stability, said Stephen King, chief economist at HSBC Holdings Plc.
In his new novel, "11/22/63," Stephen King goes back in time to save John F. Kennedy from Lee Harvey Oswald and shows how far he has come as America's chief chronicler of the creepy.
The Federal Reserve will probably focus on assuring investors it will maintain low interest rates as it prepares to reduce bond purchases, according to Stephen King, chief global economist at HSBC Holdings Plc.
A lawyer who said he represented Stephen King for more than 30 years sued the author's agent, Arthur Greene, for at least $1 million in damages over his firing.
Dubai, the Gulf emirate restructuring $23.5 billion in debt, could recover "relatively quickly" thanks to rising oil prices and its good infrastructure, said Stephen King , chief economist at HSBC Holdings Plc.
Slowing economic growth in China could prompt authorities to introduce policy stimulus, Stephen King, HSBC Holdings Plc's chief economist, said yesterday.
"There is an optimism bias, largely reflecting an attachment to pre-crisis growth trends which, post-crisis, have mostly remained out of reach."

MONDAY, April 18 (HealthDay News) -- Infection with
mononucleosis -- the easily spread virus that's the bane of many
college students -- and little exposure to sunlight may combine to
boost a person's risk for developing multiple sclerosis, a new
study suggests.
"MS is more common at higher latitudes, farther away from the equator," the study's lead researcher, Dr. George C. Ebers, of the University of Oxford in England, said in a statement provided by the American Academy of Neurology. "Since the disease has been linked to environmental factors such as low levels of sun exposure and a history of infectious mononucleosis, we wanted to see whether the two together would help explain the variance in the disease across the United Kingdom."
The researchers examined hospital admissions in England's
National Health Service over a seven-year period and focused on
56,681 cases of multiple sclerosis and 14,621 cases of infectious
mononucleosis. The researchers also examined statistics from NASA
about the levels of ultraviolet light in England.
They found that exposure to sunlight and to the mononucleosis
virus seemed to explain almost three-quarters of the difference in
levels of MS across the United Kingdom. Sunlight exposure alone
appeared to explain 61 percent of the total variance.
"It's possible that vitamin D deficiency may lead to an abnormal response to the Epstein-Barr virus," which is linked to MS, Ebers said. Sunlight exposure boosts levels of Vitamin D.
"More research should be done on whether increasing UVB exposure or using vitamin D supplements and possible treatments or vaccines for the Epstein-Barr virus could lead to fewer cases of MS," Ebers said.
The study appears in the April 19 online edition of

Utilizing 10GBase-T for Broad 10 Gigabit Ethernet DeploymentVirtualized data centers deploying Dell PowerEdge* servers, Dell PowerConnect* switches, and Intel® Ethernet Server Adapters can use 10GBase-T to broadly deploy 10 Gigabit Ethernet and help avoid I/O networking bottlenecks.Virtualization, increasingly powerful server platforms, and rising numbers of hosted applications and virtual machines have combined to dramatically increase the demand for additional I/O in the data center. Capitalizing on performance increases in the latest four-socket Dell server platforms, for example, enables organizations to host more virtual machines per server and more applications per virtual machine than ever before. As a result, the bottleneck in many data centers has now shifted to network I/O.Organizations have addressed this challenge by adding Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) ports. But although this approach helps to increase I/O, it has also increased networking complexity. IT organizations can help reduce this complexity and provide the scalability to meet growing data demand by consolidating traffic from GbE ports onto fewer 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) ports, and leveraging technology advances that have helped dramatically improve the implementations of this consolidation.Until now, either fiber optic or small form factor pluggable + (SFP+) direct attach copper connections were available for deploying 10GbE connectivity. Both have limitations. The high cost of optical cabling and switches makes the optical connections appropriate for a limited number of usage models, while the 7m (23-foot) reach of SFP+ direct attach copper cabling limits its use to short-distance connections.IT managers need a different approach to enable broad 10GbE deployment—and 10GBase-T is well-suited for the task. This article presents a best-practices deployment using the 10GBase-T standard in networks optimized with Dell servers and switches and Intel Ethernet Server Adapters using 10GbE technology.Read the full Utilizing 10GBase-T for Broad 10 Gigabit Ethernet Deployment Paper.

Setting PrioritiesI would like to talk about something today that I find increasingly annoying as we enter and continue in the never-ending world of technology. Now do not get me wrong, I like the advances in technology as much as the next person does. I like the idea that making a call when you are out on business no longer involves finding quarters or that you can receive a fax almost anywhere in the world. However, technology should never take the place of or interfere with the level of customer service that you provide.
I was recently trying to pick up a contact lens prescription when the following occurred and I still cannot believe what I witnessed and endured. It was supposed to be a thirty-second transaction, walk in, hand them my prescription, and walk out. It did not happen, not even close.
It all started fine, the representative asked me to sit down while she pulled up my information. As we were sitting there, she proceeded to engage in the following. First, she left me to help another customer who came in after we had all ready entered into our transaction. Apparently, she knew this customer personally and obviously felt that their business was more important than mine was. Once she came back to me after about five minutes, we started again to talk about what I needed. Then her cell phone rang and she spent the next five minutes telling her kids that they had better behave or else. Once the (personal) phone call ended, we were finally able to complete our transaction.
We were engaged in a business relationship for over fifteen minutes and I probably only received her full attention for maybe three minutes. Not once did she say pardon me or apologize for the disruptions. At the end, she gladly took my money though, as she was taking another phone call.
I do not need to tell you all of the things that are wrong with what took place but it should serve as a reminder that no customer is more important than the one sitting in front of you. The customer that came in after me could have easily been satisfied with a simple, "I'll be right with you sir." The customer you are currently helping has shown you enough respect to consider buying from you, show them the same respect with your full attention.

A Husband of Commitment: Some Practical Advice! Part One
- Thursday, April 01, 2004
"I want to love my wife well, but sometimes I'm just not sure what to do!" More than one husband has said words to this effect over the years. Many men desire to be good husbands but are not always sure what that looks like. Of course, the best place to begin is simply to ask your wife for her input! Alongside of this, however, there are many practical things that husbands can keep in mind.
A good husband thrives on being a "shock absorber" for his wife by anticipating his wife's needs and fears. Here are three practical ways to provide leadership for your wife.
First, encourage self-worth. The factors that affect feelings of self-worth are usually obvious: intellect, appearance, productivity, success in relationships, and financial freedom, among others. Discover mutual areas of interest with your wife and work at communication in that area.
Some of the best ways to encourage your wife include seeking out her intellectual interests and finding one where she can teach you. Show interest in her appearance, and support her desire to have a sufficient wardrobe for career and social events. Become an expert on her abilities. If she has a hobby, encourage her. Look for ways to involve her talents publicly. If she is a mother, help her develop in-home income, if she desires it. Assist with household chores and especially be involved in raising your children. Monitor her relationships and assist her in developing friends. Help her organize her schedule. Steps like these help to build her self-worth.
Second, provide comfort. Never allow your wife to experience pain without sharing it with her. A death in the family, a difficult child, frustration in her career, or a disappointment in relationships may require your help. Comfort her and take responsibility for helping her find a solution.
Third, facilitate spiritual maturity. Your hope for mutual faith in your marriage is related to your wife's maturity as well as yours. Do everything possible to assist her spiritual interest. Encourage her efforts to minister to others or attend church functions. As a couple, plan to be involved in small groups or Sunday school. One of her greatest joys, however, will be watching you take spiritual leadership in your home and church. Many wives have expressed their joy in seeing their husbands excel spiritually.
Financial Security
Work at giving your wife financial hope for the future. A personal savings account for her is important if possible. Special needs like lingerie, hair styling, exercise classes, and hobbies are not all that expensive, and they mean a lot to her. Take family finances seriously.
The Scripture strongly advocates that a husband provide for the welfare of his wife. "But if anyone does not provide for his own, and especially for those of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever" (1 Timothy 5:8).
Romance in marriage is a man's shared responsibility; romantic moments are extremely important to a woman. Be a romantic lover to your mate. Women love small, inexpensive surprises, small jewelry, flowers purchased from a street vendor - and not just on birthdays or holidays. Unique gifts are great, too. An occasional love letter or card catches her off guard. Quantity is not so important as quality and consistency.
Romance includes kindling and maintaining sexual interest. And the Scriptures tell a husband to enjoy sexual passion with his wife, and with her alone. "Let your fountain be blessed, and rejoice in the wife of your youth. As a loving hind and a graceful doe, let her breasts satisfy you at all times; be exhilarated always with her love" (Proverbs 5:18-19). Delighting yourself in your wife's physical charms will not only make her feel cherished but will focus your attention on her, where it should be.

Three of a Kind
- Friday, January 09, 2004
Where it All Began:
A few years ago, artist manager Norman Miller surveyed the Christian music landscape and said to himself, "I see a need for a girls pop group." Shortly thereafter, Miller, creator of the award-winning Avalon, and Lynn Nichols, writer, executive producer and former A&R guy for Sparrow, joined forces to create one.
Miller first approached Alisa Girard, daughter of the legendary Chuck Girard who is known for his radical ministry while a member of LoveSong. "I'd known Alisa since she was 2 years old and heard some of her demos, which were great," says Miller, "We decided to build the group around her."
After Alisa agreed to join the as-yet-unnamed group, Kristin Swinford was next. She was discovered in a Nashville coffeehouse where she performed with a group that incorporated jazz into its edgy style. "We started with Alisa's sound," says Nichols. "She had a real writing sensibility. Then we heard Kristin sing and play the piano. She had a pure pop voice, and it was a really interesting mix with Alisa's more gritty style. Then we said, 'Let's just see what unfolds.'" The decision to join was more difficult for Kristin, however. "I felt like I was betraying them [her previous group]," Kristin confesses, "but at the same time I felt a pull to ZOEgirl and felt led to meet Alisa." An instant bond formed between the two, and Kristin made her choice.
Then, the search was on for a third girl. Kristin mentioned to Nichols that a friend of hers had "a friend in Atlanta who was playing in a band and working with some musicians" [who later turned out to be Pink, Baby Face and Boyz II Men]. Nichols laughs at his initial reaction. "It sounded kind of flaky, but I told Kristin to give her a call." When Kristin got Chrissy Conway on the phone, it was a case of spontaneous friendship. "I was on the verge of signing a major record deal," says Chrissy. "My lawyer thought I was crazy for wanting to join a Christian group. He told me I'd never make any money." But, according to Chrissy, she's never looked back.
Creating an Image:
In 2000 the three singers signed on to become Sparrow's all-girl singing sensation. However, the new group needed a name. Several possibilities made the list, but "ZOE" (Greek for "life") was the favorite. When a trademark search revealed "ZOE" was unavailable, "girl" was added, and a new group was born.
Next phase? Imaging. While Britney Spears was the "it" girl of 2000 with her provocative dress and performance style, ZOEgirl purposefully went in the opposite direction. And while these women say they never felt "misrepresented," the sudden rush to project them as the perfect Christian girl group was a bit overwhelming at times.
"Even though it wasn't what I'd envisioned myself doing," Alisa admits, "there was never a moment I felt I was misrepresenting myself before God. I'd change some of the outfits we wore, though. And I didn't like being called 'prissy pop.' Nobody had ever called me prissy in my life." Kristin comments, "Sometimes we didn't sound that great, and you could hear every breath; but we refused to lip-sync. What kept us going were the mothers and kids being touched. If music critics called us 'disposable pop' and didn't get what we were doing, it was OK. It wasn't for them."
With its name and image secured, it was now Nichols' and producer Tedd T's (Jewel, Faith Hill, Stacie Orrico) task to shape the hit-making ZOEgirl sound. The two were thrilled to discover the singing/dancing performers were also great singer/songwriters. "Each girl was really different, " says Nichols, who describes Alisa as the "Rock Chick," Chrissy the "R&B Woman" and Kristin the "Luscious Pop Voice." "I wanted Tedd to focus the sound because I was afraid it would get scattered." The result of the first collaboration was "ZOEgirl" (2000), a collection of lighthearted pop songs that showcased each girl's talent. The record was a success, garnering a hit single, "I Believe" and selling more than 350,000 albums to date.

Though this may seem sick or twisted, I must ask...
In the movies where you played a vampire, did you accentuate the horrific or the erotic?
My own observations, no matter how demented, have been that the vampire you portray is a highly erotic creature. Perhaps I am imagining the subtle erotic undertones, but rather than a horrific response, it seems to elicit a subtle longing for the bite of the vampire..
Re: Curious....
Mr. Lee,
I am very curious. Have you ever been in any films with my cousins Bing Crosby and Lee Marvin? Have you sang with Bing Crosby? If not, would you? I am just wondering.
I used my brains and googled it up, found no such thing.
Re: Curious....
I want someone to help me to understand this better, please. I found something very interesting about Mr. Lee and his mother side, the Carandini family. Could it be possible if someone find some info about Mr. Lee that he might not know about his mother's side?:hmmmm: Just curious. Is he related to Frederick Barbarossa? :hmmmm:If so, his ancestor married into my family who is also related to King Henry VIII. If so, that would make him a distant relative. Please find out. I found this by accident as well as his family crest - not the Carandini but Charlemagne. If you look at this Emperor Charlemagne's picture, Mr. Lee has his somewhat say looks. Please help me!! I would like to now please if someone is willing to help. I am so curious about this that this is making me go crazy!!:questionm

One year ago I started the year with a big job ahead of me - build the user engagement team at Mozilla and grow direct relationships with 10+ million Firefox users.
2011 ended well, very well, I am delighted to say.
Socially speaking
With the help of William Reynolds, the first person to join the user engagement team in Nov 2010 we more than doubled the number of social connections on Facebook and Twitter last year. Today, over 7 million people are interacting with Firefox via their preferred social channel. William, our social expert led our sharing campaigns for the Firefox 4 launch with the Twitter Party and Facebook badges program. He also stood up our Army of Awesome Twitter support channel, relaunched the Firefox Live campaign, and too many other social engagement campaigns to mention here. William was a super intern at Mozilla in 2009, he's now our super social man, who lends a hand to all folks on the team. You could say he has a lot more friends than any of us put together.
Email powerhouse
In mid January 2011 Winston Bowden changed his world and came West from North Carolina to head up and drive our email engagement program. Starting from virtually nothing Winston strategically grew our program whilst rolling up his sleeves every single day to grow the number of Firefox and You monthly newsletter subscribers to almost 3 million by end of 2011. Winston also spent much time helping nurture and grow other teams who communicate directly with their users, fans and developers via email. We've come a very long way under Winston's tutelage. He has built a steadfast email program, that like our products, answers to no-one but you. We take engagement, privacy and the latest email best practices with regard to data incredibly seriously. And to all those marketeers out there — believe us when we say; not spamming, not heavy-handed targeting, not selling your customers data pays dividends. We respect our email subscriber like a family member or friend — and with often 20+% open rates and 8-10% click through rates, we have email numbers that are way, way above average. We're terrifically proud of our program.
A is for advocacy
In early Summer, we had the great fortune to hire Chelsea Novak. Chelsea based in the Mozilla Toronto office had been working for the Mozilla Foundation in a fundraising and engagement role for 2 years when we had the great opportunity to have her join our throng. Chelsea was and is different. She understands both how to win and how to keep Firefox users. She embraces scale and leverage, and has been able to apply this to everything she touches. One of the biggest projects Chelsea lead and launched was the Mozilla Affiliates program, finishing the year with a program live in more than 10 languages, and with 10,000+ affiliates around the world. She also managed several partner campaigns with Ripcurl and the Ripcurl Pro event in San Francisco, and currently with the Firefox Challenge challenge on Crowdrise (celebrities are still duking it out for their charities to win). We've ended the year with even stronger word of mouth marketing programs and new ways for our Firefox users to engage and become advocates.
Content is king
In the late Summer Carmen Collins based in Florida became our content editor. As our direct channels grew and the number of people wanting to interact with us grew, it was clear we needed to put even more thought and rigor around a communication strategy and also calendaring of content. Carmen brought her skills as a writer, and process advocate - and set about constructing and implementing a content strategy. After several iterations we sit in a place where scores of stake-holders communicate and plan content together every week, and every month. Carmen also birthed our user engagement blog The Den which currently acts as a destination for articles often posted in social or helping give more context to email articles — there is much more to come. Lastly, Carmen is also a social media maven, and has been instrumental in assisting William work on increasing engagement in those channels; particularly working together with William to increase social sharing on Facebook in the last 3 months of the year by 20% to 300,000 shares.
Take it to the world
Lastly, Jess Davis also relocated from North Carolina to expand our email program throughout the world. Jess works very closely with Winston and apart from being a coding whizz, process junkie and sheer bundle of energy and delight - she has very quickly grown our email program to include truly localized versions of the Firefox and You newsletter in French, German, Brazilian Portuguese and Spanish. Jess recruited and works directly with our extended team of volunteer email content leads each month to produce and localize for their specific locales. Jess, has only been on board just over 3 months but already grew our volunteer efforts from 0 to 12. It was a great way to end the year.
And so, as you've read 2011 was an incredibly busy and successful year for the user engagement team. We smashed throughout our main target of building direct relationships with more than 10 million Firefox users. We nurtured and created loyalty. We built advocacy programs and allowed others to help. We extended beyond the English speaking world. We grew our team to include some amazing volunteers and paid staff from around the world.*
We're putting the finishing touches to our 2012 plans. If this year is anything like last, its going to be a superb year!
* Big thanks to so many other people who helped the user engagement team in 2011 - you are a hugh part of that success - we're incredibly proud and grateful.

BY CLEVE MOLER GENE H. GOLUB, Fletcher Jones Professor of Computer Science (and, by courtesy, of Electrical Engineering), Stanford University, died on November 16, 2007, at Stanford Hospital. He was 75 years old. Golub was born in Chicago on Leap Year's Day, February 29, 1932, to parents who had emigrated from Latvia and Ukraine. He attended public schools in Chicago and then, from 1953 through 1959, the University of Illinois, where he received a B.S. in 1953, M.A. in 1954, and Ph.D. in 1959, all in mathematics. After a postdoctoral year at Cambridge and brief stints at Lawrence Radiation Laboratory and Space Technology Laboratories, he joined the faculty at Stanford University in 1962. In 1965, he was a founding member of Stanford's Department of Computer Science, one of the first computer science departments in the world. He became a full professor in 1970 and was chairman of the department from 1981 through 1984. Dr. Golub was elected to the National Academy of Engineering in 1990 and to the National Academy of Sciences in 1993, and he received honorary doctorates from about a dozen universities worldwide. When he became ill, he had to cancel 81 Final Tribute Vol 13.indd 81 3/23/10 3:42:12 PM

82 MEMORIAL TRIBUTES a planned trip to receive an honorary doctorate from the Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule in Zurich. Gene's research and teaching interests were in the field of numerical analysis, a subject that hardly existed when he entered the University of Illinois. But as the power and availability of computers increased, so did interest in numerical analysis. Today, the subject is at the interface between mathematics and computer science. In fact, numerical analysts started many of the world's computer science departments, including the one at Stanford. Years later one of Gene's colleagues at Stanford remarked, "numerical analysis was the mother of computer science, but today she is acting like an anxious grandmother." Many universities now have interdisciplinary programs in "computational science." In 1988, Gene was the founding director of one of the first such programs in the world. At Stanford, the program was called "scientific computing and computation mathematics." Gene's specialty was computation involving matrices. His Ph.D. thesis and some of his first research papers were about iterative methods for solving the types of simultaneous linear equations that arise in finite-difference methods for partial differential equations. In the 1950s some experts familiar with the relaxation methods that were then being done by hand were skeptical that those methods could ever be automated. But work by Golub, as well as by David Young and Richard Varga, provided the first analysis of effective iterative algorithms for these large linear systems. In the 1960s, together with colleagues W. Kahan and Christian Reinsch, Golub developed the first practical algorithm for computing the matrix singular-value decomposition (SVD), sometimes called the "Swiss Army knife" of matrix computation because it is used in such a wide variety of applications. A search of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office Web page lists more than a thousand U.S. patents that mention "singular value decomposition," all of which were was made possible by Golub's algorithm. His California license plate proclaimed that he was "Prof. SVD." Golub also contributed to our understanding Final Tribute Vol 13.indd 82 3/23/10 3:42:12 PM

GENE H. GOLUB 83 of a large class of iterative algorithms for matrix computations, including the conjugate-gradient method, the Lanczos algorithm, and Krylov subspace algorithms. Golub was president of the Society of Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) from1985 to 1987 and the founding editor of two SIAM journals. He also served on the editorial boards of more than a dozen other journals. In addition, Golub founded the NA Digest, a weekly electronic newsletter that now has more than 10,000 subscribers around the world. At Stanford, he was thesis advisor for more than 30 Ph.D. students, and through them, he now has more than 140 academic descendants. Everything I have said thus far, however, pales in comparison to Golub's most important characteristic—his humanity. The numerical-analysis and scientific-computing community was his family. The closeness and congeniality of this community is due, in large part, to his influence. Thousands of people in dozens of countries knew him simply as "Gene," and visitors to Stanford, particularly young people, often stayed in his home. He remembered everybody's name and their children's birthdays, and he returned visits, traveling frequently to give lectures, attend workshops, or just to see people. His friendships, visits, and e-mails not only led to important algorithms and research papers, but also made the world a more pleasant place. Final Tribute Vol 13.indd 83 3/23/10 3:42:12 PM

According to science fiction author Orson Scott Card (pictured above), recent court decisions in Massachusetts and California recognizing same-sex marriage mean "the end of democracy in America." As such, he advocates taking down our government "by whatever means is made possible or necessary."
It's all there in a truly frightful — and brazenly dishonest — essay that Card published in last Thursday's edition of the Mormon Times.
I can't think the last time I've read something so offensive and bigoted written by a major media figure. Overthrowing the government because of same-sex marriage? As far as I know, even Pat Robertson doesn't advocate this. We're talking Fred Phelps territory here.
And Card is definitely a major figure in the science fiction community, a three-time winner of both the Hugo and Nebula Awards, and a winner of both the World Fantasy and Locus Awards. His novel, Ender's Game, is considered a classic, one of the best-selling science fiction novels of all time. A major movie version is in the works with a screenplay written by Card himself. Wolfgang Petersen and Warner Brothers had both been involved, though it's unclear if either still are.
Additionally, at this month's Comic Con in San Diego, Marvel Comics announced that this October they are publishing a six issue miniseries based on Ender's Game.
Some of Card's arguments against same-sex marriage are straight from the far-right conservative playbook: for example, that marriage is, and must always be, synonymous with procreation. Infertile heterosexual couples are okay because they affirm "the universality of the pattern of marriage" — at least if they adopt. Card seems to grant no credence or respect to heterosexual couples who are childless by choice.
And Card clearly seems to detest gay people.
"When gay rights were being enforced by the courts back in the '70s and '80s, we were repeatedly told by all the proponents of gay rights that they would never attempt to legalize gay marriage," Card writes. "It took about 15 minutes for that promise to be broken."
I have absolutely no idea what Card means by this spiteful comment. As long as I've been alive and working in gay activism, we gay people have been quite clear about our long-term agenda: liberty and justice for all. It's really not that difficult a concept.
Card spends a lot of time arguing that the availability of same-sex marriage and the open acknowledgement of gay people is destroying the "family," but our families definitely don't count. At no point does Card acknowledge, even tacitly, the legal and psychological burden we gay people bear when our relationships are literally made to be illegal. He certainly doesn't see us as equal citizens and doesn't even seem to think of us as human.

In arguing that the modern courts have overreached, Card says, "It is now illegal even to kneel and pray in front of a clinic that performs abortions."
Card is entitled to his own opinions, as the saying goes, but he's not entitled to his own facts. It's now illegal to pray in front of an abortion clinic? It's one thing to create fantasy worlds; it's another thing to live in them.
Still, while I violently disagree with all these ideas, I ultimately believe Card has the right to express them.
However, in this most recent essay, Card goes one step farther. Same-sex marriage marks "the end of democracy in America," he says, proceeding to sound a clarion call to literally overthrow the government.
Card praises home-schooling in his essay, so perhaps he never learned seventh grade civics, but our system of constitutional democracy includes something called the "judicial" branch of government — an institution that interprets state and the federal constitutions. No amount of votes of the people can overturn these constitutions — not unless these constitutions are, themselves, amended.
Card may not like the words in the California or Massachusetts state constitutions, or the courts that interpreted them, but they are as much a part of our democracy as are regular elections. (For what it's worth, the democratically elected legislature of California twice voted to legalize same-sex marriage, though it was vetoed by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, and both the Massachusetts legislature and governor have at least tacitly affirmed the same-sex marriage decision.) To argue that this is the "end of democracy" is either willful misrepresentation or outright ignorance. And to call for overthrowing the government "by whatever means" is outrageous and wildly irresponsible.
Next Page: Card deserves "credit" because he doesn't advocate violence against gays.
