Many Americans are opposed to same sex marriage in spite of the Supreme Court’s recent decision. No law can crawl inside someone’s brain and make them feel differently about something.

A Sight Worth Feeling (Excerpt from Chapter One)
July, 2008 “So, doctor, you’re comfortable with the decision to wait and watch?” He nodded and at the same time replied, “Yes”.
