Nothing new about churches participating in political dialogue
The paths of church and state are rarely parallel. They intersect for a variety of reasons, some more compelling than others. Sometimes the line that Americans would like to think separates the secular from the religious disappears because men and women of conscience simply must speak their mind about events of the day. They owe it to their faith. And they owe it to their country.

How could we vote for Obama and Prop. 8?
I am a 73-year-old, straight, Caucasian, Episcopalian who voted “yes” for Obama and “no” for Prop. 8. I have a question. Why were we able to vote for a man who offers change and vows to listen to all and, at the same time, vote to deny fellow humans equal rights? Did we listen to ads full of noise and half-truths? Did we think they are not us? Did we remember that nothing created is exactly the same — from the tiny insect and its cousin to the blue whale and its cousin?

Story about nail salon suit nothing more than schoolyard bullying
When I was in the seventh grade, Tina was my worst nightmare. She was one of the cool kids and I was the leading nerd. Each day I was subject to the torment and intimidation of her barbs, gossip and harassment. I’m not sure if any of us who have been subjected to bullying ever get over it completely, but, fortunately, I grew up, moved away and made a life for myself far from the shadow of Tina. I don’t know if Tina ever grew up, but I tend to believe “what goes around comes around” and I hope that somewhere along the way, Tina got her just desserts.

Last week, a reader complained about the city ticketing vehicles that were parked illegally. The rationalization seemed to be a children’s Halloween party. The reader went on to volunteer to pay the city himself. Great message — when a law seems inconvenient, go ahead and break it. If there is a cost associated, someone is there to bail you out. Therefore, let’s break the established rules and have someone bail us out.

Separate but equal is never really equal
I want to share my gratitude for all of the equal rights support shown my community from Coastsiders since California passed Prop. 8 — from neighbors, friends, colleagues, even strangers. I shed tears, too, trying not to take this vote personally. I am relieved that San Mateo County came out on the side of equality for all.
