Did I hear that right at 2:49 ish? Passing Road? Seriously, is that the name of the road or was Roy just taking the verbal irony to another level in a case already named Loving v. Virginia? (hey, don't forget too that Virginia's tourism catch phrase is Virginia is for lovers.)

[RoyZimmerman]

Hi rojamey --

Yes, it's actually called Passing Road. How 'bout that?

[kenballer00]

if you Go to Wikipedia and type in Baker v. Nelson, The case will show you that the same court in Loving v Virginia not only distinguished same sex marriage from interracial marriage, but established it as a right that does not exist under the constitution and never did.

so the 14th amendment does not confer a RIGHT to gay marriage anymore than it does for polygamy

[RoyZimmerman]

Hi. If you go to Wikipedia and type in US Constitution, you'll see that amendments don't confer rights, they guarantee them. Our government is founded on the principle that we are endowed at birth with human rights, and then each generation is called on to form a more perfect union by better extending those human rights to all people. The Supreme Court reverses itself all the time and Baker v. Nelson will be soon added to the "ooops" column with Dred Scott, etc.

Hey Roy, I've got to say I'm both a fan of your music and your world views, it's good to see someone taking such a rational, level headed, and above all, humanitarian stance as regards subjects such as prop 8.

It's a shame that the USA, a country founded on such brilliant principles, is manipulated and bullied time and time again by homophobic, tyrannical Christianity.

It's all good to separate church and state, but when politicians base their views on religion, it ruins that same principle.

Nov. 15, 2010 - I hope to visit here again BEFORE I DIE and see EVERY STATE in THE USA allowing marriage. Marriage as it is now defined... FOR ALL! That must happen.

So many other issues to worry about. This should not be one of them. Why does it takes so long for hearts to understand.

[MedievalWerewolf]

Sure sucks that even your videos are tainted with ads from BP.

[koponenii]

I have just recently learned howmuch religions have "power" in USA .

And too often its NEGATIVE. Amount of hippocracy is sick, medievil methods where Irak bomber goes from church to plane.

Roy to president in US! PS: do song OMG

"Fit vs. UnFit, Eugenics, Planned Parenthood & Psychology, Mind Control Report"

That's here on YouTube on the PsycheTruth channel, and "Sir Francis Galton" was the guy I mis-named. (I always have trouble separating the two.) He's got a wiki page.

@AussieGriffin > Charles Darwin's racial prejedice

Darwin was far less prejudiced than any other white person of his time, thanks to his own insights. He realized that we're all equal. And who is Galtin?

[AussieGriffin]

Eugenics isn't dead, it was simply renamed social science, and the truth is that "Feeble Minded" was more of an umbrella term for undesirables. The documentary Maafa 21 shows the anti-afro angle, and really there were people who thought that races should have better breeding within themselves and leave it there. It's a really nasty subject that was spawned of Charles Darwin's racial prejedice and made worse by Charles Galtin.

Everybody who watches this and has a heart; please go to Depfox here on youtube.

This family has a video of a policeman who fell in the line of duty and his partner of 15 years & their son NEED your help.

Thank you.

[LeafHuntress]

Roy, you've did it again, you made me smile and cry at the same time. If you ever get to Europe i know of a place or two for you to stay and play!

[LeafHuntress]

I don't know if it;s right but that is what i heard also. (^.^)
