		<title>{ISSUES &gt; BIAS AND BALANCE} - KSFO's Sussman invited guest to talk about his claim that "gay and lesbian radicals actively recruit through our schools and the media"  </title>
		<link>http://articles.world-of-newave.info/society/issues/business/media/bias-and-balance/ksfo-s-sussman-invited-guest-to-talk-about-his-claim-20080624937.htm</link>

		<pubDate>Thu, 19 Jun 2008 01:14:02 GMT</pubDate>
		<description>On the June 16 broadcast of San Francisco
radio station KSFO's The Lee Rodgers
Show, guest host Brian Sussman hosted theologian Charlie
Self, whom Sussman called "Dr. History,"
to discuss the California Supreme Court's May 15 ruling overturning the state's ban
on same-sex marriages. In the course of the discussion, Sussman referenced a post on Self's blog and said to Self: "On your website
-- it's interesting you're addressing this very topic, Dr. Self,
and you talk about how gay and lesbian radicals actively recruit through our
schools and the media in order to swell their ranks. Talk to us about that for
a moment." After asserting,
"It is amazing how little the traditional family is pictured in either
drama or comedy on TV anymore," Self added:

SELF: It is
amazing how little the traditional family is pictured in either drama or comedy
on TV anymore. In fact, I just gave an address for Father's Day yesterday
and I just wanted to remind all the dads that fathers are not all the sitcom
boobs that they're made out to be on TV, so you have the negative.
Positively, of course, you have just a rash in
the last 10 years of programs of all types normalizing this particular chosen
lifestyle. Along with that, you find all kinds of organizations, especially
ones like GLAAD and others -- G-L-A-A-D -- and other organizations advertising
opportunities for young people and for especially junior high, high school, and
college students to want to discover, to search, to understand this gay,
lesbian, bisexual, transgender -- these options and lifestyles that are
available. The only way that you are going to grow the ranks of this kind of
movement is this kind of onslaught because it is simply not part of the nature
of things as designed or as evolved or as historically recorded for thousands
of years.

Earlier, Sussman said about graduation at Stanford University: "One of the speakers
during the course of the weekend gave what I'm told was a very moving and
compelling speech regarding Darwinism. And I'm thinking, Darwinism, OK,
everyone's buying into Darwinism.
Darwinism's the new thing, and it's becoming very, very popular.
Darwinism just doesn't jibe with gay marriage, Dr. History." 

Moments later, Self said:

SELF: I find
it interesting that you were talking about Darwinism. It's one thing to talk
about evolution on a variety of levels and to talk about the evidence of how
nature has conducted herself. It's quite another to create an ideology,
and that's really what you're watching. And what you're in
danger of, Brian, with homosexual marriage, with gay marriage, is the creation
of human life in a test tube. What's interesting is you're going to
see more and more pushing for adoption, more and more pushing for a variety of
in-vitro fertilizations and other forms of reproduction, because gay marriages
by definition can't produce their own child. So, we're not only
redefining marriage. We're redefining parenting, we're redefining
how human life comes to be. Instead of a face-to-face covenantal relationship
of love producing new life, we're now going to look to a laboratory,
we're going to look to impersonal means, and there's something
dehumanizing, there's something destabilizing, about the entire
affair.

Sussman then asked: "What
happens when you devalue marriage, when a society devalues that covenant
relationship as you described it, between a husband and a wife? What does
history tell us?" Self responded:

SELF: Well,
we don't have to -- well, first of all, history tells us very clearly
that when marriage begins to break down, and family and clan ties break down,
you become -- it becomes a state of anarchy, and anarchy can only last so long
until totalitarianism comes in, and some form of state, either under a dictator
or under a cabal, some form of totalitarian state will move in and then begin
to re-establish some kind of social order, based on whatever their ideology may
be. Now, by the way, if you'd just like an example of what the breakdown
of marriage does, go to our urban war zones here in this country in the last 40
to 50 years. And with the rise of the welfare state, with the rise of no
consequences for divorce, with the rise of people having sex without
responsibility or consequences or at least the perception thereof, you can
begin to discover what the consequences are, Brian.



Sussman interjected: "OK, so you
have, you have gay -- let's go with a lesbian couple who have adopted a
young boy. That boy may have two parents, but that boy's still missing a
vital ingredient, and that's a father," to which Self replied:

SELF: The
secular research of the last 60 years -- again, we're not -- you've
noticed we haven't quoted a single scripture from any tradition. We have
not tried to make an appeal to religious authority. The secular research
of the last 60 years tells us that Johnny and Jane need a mom and
a dad. They need mentors, they need adult role models of both genders in order
to become the person they want to be. You see, the real -- the real agenda
here, Brian, is to make gender something that people choose, as opposed to
something that they are born with and develop. And it's amazing, they
want to claim a civil right for what they call natural, but at the same time,
they're spending enormous amounts of energy recruiting, causing
adolescents and young adults to question whether or not they may be of a
particular gender. And the most disingenuous thing that I have been observing
is that, again, if you have married and had a family but decide that
you're gay and come out of the closet, you're celebrated and put on
the cover of a magazine. If, however, that you -- that you have lived a gay
lifestyle and decided that you want to change that lifestyle, your therapist
gets their license pulled for even considering the thought. And so what we have
is a real agenda to increase the nanny state's influence on our lives and
to have people who really do know better help guide us through this process of
discovering who we are.

Toward the end of the
discussion, Sussman told Self: "OK, now, let's
talk about something else that has been recorded for thousands of years, and
that is the whole idea of equality. We're born equal, but we're all
different. I mean, there's no question about that. And in terms of
marriage, societies have said that, yeah, it's between a man and a woman,
and in our society we say, here are the rules: man and a woman, you can't
marry anyone under this particular age, you can't marry a family member.
So, the rules are the same for all of us, Dr. History. But, for some reason,
the gays want to change those rules. I just don't understand it. Talk to me about that."

From the June 16 edition of KSFO's The Lee Rodgers Show: 

SUSSMAN:
It is 14 minutes past 6 on KSFO. Sherry, do we have the theme music for Dr.
History? Let's do a little Village People for Dr. History as we're
about to enter into a discussion on gay marriage. Ladies and gentlemen, would
you welcome a man who is far too brilliant to have to appear with this music
behind him, Dr. Charlie Self, the man with more degrees than a thermometer, on
KSFO. Hello, Dr. Self.

SELF:
Hey, I am glad to be with you, Brian. Happy Monday. And brilliant, not
brilliant, or whatever I may be, that's a lot of fun and put a smile on
my face here. 

SUSSMAN: All right. Dr. History, gay marriage --
it's going to begin in the state of California. It's official now, our
state Supreme Court has chosen to override the will of the voters from the 2000
election, where 61.4 percent of us said, yeah, marriage should be between a man
and a woman. Tell us how this stacks up from an historical perspective. 

SELF:
Well, a couple levels, Brian. First of all, just recent history alone should
have cause for concern. In the 1970s, Governor [Jerry] Brown passed the
Consenting Adults Act that allowed consenting adults to do whatever they wanted
in private, kind of removed all the old anti-sodomy statutes, and most people
didn't really worry about that; it was the 1970s, we're all at the
disco floor. And they said, we don't care about marriage or anything
else, we just want to be able to be left alone. 

By the 1980s
and early '90s, it was domestic partnerships and benefits from private
corporations. And of course, corporations made their decisions that way. Once
again, we were told, you know, don't worry, it won't matter,
it's just -- it's a private issue, we're not trying to
redefine things for other people. And by the late '90s and early part of
this decade, it's completely changed, to now, whether there's any
substance behind it at all, they want the symbolism of marriage, they want to
completely normalize and equalize a same-sex relationship as a relationship
that every culture and society for recorded history has made the most important
one for the continuance of that society. 

SUSSMAN:
OK, let's -- let's talk about that. Because, again, you're Dr. History, you study this stuff,
you enjoy looking back on history. What you're telling us is that never
in recorded history has a society decided, OK, we're just going to
redefine marriage, we think that that's going to be fine, there will be
no consequences. Talk to us from a historical perspective -- I mean, obviously,
this isn't a religious issue.

SELF: No, this is not a religious issue. There are people of deep faith who have concerns about it, but in
terms of just basic anthropology and history, you will not find any culture
that makes a homosexual relationship on the same level as a covenantal,
socially bound heterosexual relationship. Now, all through history, from the
time people began to record these things, people have had all kinds of --
variety of sexual experiences, both above ground and underground, but when it
comes to marriage and family, the continuance of society, marriage, traditional
marriage as we know it, has always been the preference of every culture in
every location. And I've -- I've tried to find exceptions to that,
and I have not. Now, some societies have been more or less tolerant of other
behavior, kind of going wink-wink at various behaviors. But when it comes to defining family -- and you know,
there's kind of a basic point, even if you're a complete
naturalist, if everything is biology, you aren't going to continue the
species if you try to encourage relationships that don't allow
reproduction.

SUSSMAN:
You know, that's kind of an interesting point. We were just talking about
Stanford's graduation yesterday, and Oprah speaking, and again, I was at
this post-graduation party in Stanford for a dear friend's daughter, and
so many at this event were talking about one of the speakers -- I think that it
may have been a baccalaureate address. One of the speakers during the course of the
weekend gave what I'm told was a very moving and compelling speech
regarding Darwinism. And I'm thinking, Darwinism, OK, everyone's
buying into Darwinism. Darwinism's the new thing, and it's becoming
very, very popular. Darwinism just doesn't jibe with gay marriage, Dr.
History. I mean, that's what you were sort of saying a moment ago.

SELF:
First of all, what we're dealing with statistically is a 1 to 2 percent
exclusive identification of the population anyway. The 10 percent figure
you've heard bandied about is a politically correct figure based on
flawed science half a century ago, but the actual numbers are very small, and,
you know, in nature, there are exceptions, but those exceptions don't
become the rule for the propagation and the forward momentum of any species.
Now, that sounds all very scientific. I find it interesting that you were talking about
Darwinism. It's one thing to talk about evolution on a variety of levels
and to talk about the evidence of how nature has conducted herself. It's
quite another to create an ideology, and that's really what you're
watching. And what you're in danger of, Brian, with
homosexual marriage, with gay marriage, is the creation of human life in a test
tube. What's interesting is
you're going to see more and more pushing for adoption, more and more
pushing for a variety of in-vitro fertilizations and other forms of
reproduction, because gay marriages by definition can't produce their own
child. So, we're not only
redefining marriage. We're
redefining parenting, we're redefining how human life comes to be.
Instead of a face-to-face covenantal
relationship of love producing new life, we're now going to look to a
laboratory, we're going to look to impersonal means, and there's
something dehumanizing, there's something destabilizing, about the entire
affair.

SUSSMAN:
What happens when you devalue marriage, when
a society devalues that covenant relationship, as you described it, between a
husband and a wife? What does
history tell us?

SELF: Well, we don't have to -- well, first of all,
history tells us very clearly that when marriage begins to break down, and
family and clan ties break down, you become -- it becomes a state of anarchy,
and anarchy can only
last so long until totalitarianism comes in, and some form of state, either
under a dictator or under a cabal, some form of totalitarian state will move in
and then begin to re-establish some kind of social order, based on whatever
their ideology may be. Now, by the way, if you'd just like an example of
what the breakdown of marriage does, go to our urban war zones here in this
country in the last 40 to 50 years. And with the rise of the welfare state, with
the rise of no consequences for divorce, with the rise of people having sex
without responsibility or consequences or at least the perception thereof, you
can begin to discover what the consequences are, Brian.

SUSSMAN: OK, so you have, you have gay -- let's go with a
lesbian couple who have adopted a young boy. That boy may have two parents, but
that boy's still missing a vital ingredient, and that's a father.

SELF: The secular research of the last 60 years --
again, we're not -- you've noticed we haven't quoted a single
scripture from any tradition. We have not tried to make an appeal to religious
authority. The secular research of the last 60 years tells us that Johnny and
Jane need a mom and a dad. They need mentors, they need adult role models of
both genders in order to become the person they want to be. You see, the real
-- the real agenda here, Brian, is to make gender something that people choose,
as opposed to something that they are born with and develop. And it's
amazing, they want to claim a civil right for what they call natural, but at
the same time, they're spending enormous amounts of energy recruiting,
causing adolescents and young adults to question whether or not they may be of
a particular gender. And the most disingenuous thing that I have been
observing is that, again, if you have married and had a family but decide that
you're gay and come out of the closet, you're celebrated and put on
the cover of a magazine. If,
however, that you -- that you have
lived a gay lifestyle and decided that you want to change that lifestyle, your
therapist gets their license pulled for even considering the thought.
And so what we have is a real agenda to
increase the nanny state's influence on our lives and to have people who
really do know better help guide us through this process of discovering who we
are.

SUSSMAN:
Dr. History on KSFO, here on Hot Talk 560, KSFO. We're talking,
obviously, gay marriage. It becomes the law of our land, here in the state of California, at 5:01.
That's when many counties are going to start marrying people. Dr.
History, it's interesting. There's something that I don't
think a lot of people have discussed. There are going to be folks racing to
this state from all corners to get married. Then they're going to go back
to their home state with their marriage license. This is obviously going to put
pressure on those states to come forward and adopt the same practices,
isn't it?

SELF:
Oh, it's going to put pressure there, plus our Constitution creates the
opportunity for states to honor the contracts and the legal arrangements in
other states. Now, states' rights still exist, in very small measure, but
they still do exist in America, but this will be another wave of momentum
against the states being able to determine whether or not they'll
validate the marriage licenses of California. Right now, somebody can go get
married in Georgia or Nevada or wherever, and
it would be honored in other states. It's being called into question now,
but the pressure will be enormous to acknowledge another state's legal
sanction of a relationship, and this also tears at the fabric of our
Constitution, tears at the fabric of what -- of what federalism really meant as
our founders tried to put it together. And, Brian, it's going to be a
very serious thing, because what you're going to have is, you're
not only going to have the pressure to recognize marriages, but you're
going to immediately have divorces, you're going to have a huge amount of
legal, social, and psychological disruption because we've opened the door
to alternatives.

SUSSMAN:
Dr. Charlie Self is our guest on KSFO. We call him Dr. History. Now,
here's the doctor of traffic checking in. This would be Dr. Officer Vic.

[...]

SUSSMAN:
Gay marriage officially comes to California
at the close of business today, 5:01, so a lot of counties will stay open past
close of business in order to accommodate those who want to get married the gay
way. Now, Dr. History, that's Dr. Charlie Self -- by the way, his website
is drcharlieself.com, that's d-r "Charlie" with an i-e and
Self s-e-l-f dot com. On your
website -- it's interesting you're addressing this very topic, Dr.
Self, and you talk about how gay and lesbian radicals
actively recruit through our schools and the media in order to swell their
ranks. Talk to us about that for a moment. 

SELF:
Well, Brian, we can come at it from about three different angles. It is amazing how little the traditional family
is pictured in either drama or comedy on TV anymore. In fact, I just gave an
address for Father's Day yesterday and I just wanted to remind all the
dads that fathers are not all the sitcom boobs that they're made out to
be on TV, so you have the negative. Positively, of course, you have just a rash in the
last 10 years of programs of all types normalizing this particular chosen
lifestyle. Along with that, you find all kinds of organizations, especially
ones like GLAAD and others -- G-L-A-A-D -- and other organizations advertising
opportunities for young people and for especially junior high, high school, and
college students to want to discover, to search, to understand this gay,
lesbian, bisexual, transgender -- these options and lifestyles that are
available. The only way that you are going to grow the ranks of this kind of
movement is this kind of onslaught because it is simply not part of the nature
of things as designed or as evolved or as historically recorded for thousands
of years.

SUSSMAN: OK, now, let's talk about something else that
has been recorded for thousands of years, and that is the whole idea of
equality. We're born equal, but we're all different. I mean,
there's no question about that. And in terms of marriage, societies have
said that, yeah, it's between a man and a woman, and in our society we
say, here are the rules: man and a woman, you can't marry anyone under
this particular age, you can't marry a family member. So, the rules are
the same for all of us, Dr. History. But, for some reason, the gays want to
change those rules. I just don't understand it. Talk to me about that. 

SELF: Well,
let's just do a little genetic history, Brian. The royal houses of Europe
in the 19th and 20th centuries suffered immeasurably, physically and perhaps
even affected some the decisions of the state that led to some of the 20th
century disasters, because of marrying far too close. It's interesting
that throughout history, in a variety of traditions, people did not want you to
marry any closer than a second or third cousin. And there have been reasons for
that, some of them religious, some of them practical, but the more we study
this, the more we realize that variety, rather than over similarity, is far
better in the continuance of a healthy human generation. And so what
you're watching, as history will tell you, that some of the basic rules
-- again, whether they are religious or secular -- stand up pretty well in
producing healthy people. 

SUSSMAN:
Dr. Charlie Self has been our guest on KSFO. His website,
www.drcharlieself.com. We call him Dr. History, and it's always a
pleasure, my friend, to have you on the program. Enlightening stuff. 

SELF:
Well, it's a delight, Brian. And we have a light here coming in November
with an opportunity to overturn the Supremes. 





SUSSMAN:
Yes, with our opportunity to vote on this issue. Dr. Charlie Self, thanks for
being with us on KSFO. </description>

<td width="100%" style="font:9pt Verdana,Arial,Sans-serif;vertical-align:top;"><span style="color:#808080;font-variant:small-caps;">Mediamatters.Org</span> - On the June 16 broadcast of San Francisco
radio station KSFO's The Lee Rodgers
Show, guest host Brian Sussman hosted theologian Charlie
Self, whom Sussman called "Dr. History,"
to discuss the California Supreme Court's May 15 ruling overturning the state's ban
on same-sex marriages. In the course of the discussion, Sussman referenced a post on Self's blog and said to Self: "On your website
-- it's interesting you're addressing this very topic, Dr. Self,
and you talk about how gay and lesbian radicals actively recruit through our
schools and the media in order to swell their ranks. Talk to us about that for
a moment." After asserting,
"It is amazing how little the traditional family is pictured in either
drama or comedy on TV anymore," Self added:

SELF: It is
amazing how little the traditional family is pictured in either drama or comedy
on TV anymore. In fact, I just gave an address for Father's Day yesterday
and I just wanted to remind all the dads that fathers are not all the sitcom
boobs that they're made out to be on TV, so you have the negative.
Positively, of course, you have just a rash in

available. The only way that you are going to grow the ranks of this kind of
movement is this kind of onslaught because it is simply not part of the nature
of things as designed or as evolved or as historically recorded for thousands
of years.

Earlier, Sussman said about graduation at Stanford University: "One of the speakers
during the course of the weekend gave what I'm told was a very moving and
compelling speech regarding Darwinism. And I'm thinking, Darwinism, OK,
everyone's buying into Darwinism.
Darwinism's the new thing, and it's becoming very, very popular.
Darwinism just doesn't jibe with gay marriage, Dr. History." 

Moments later, Self said:

SELF: I find
it interesting that you were talking about Darwinism. It's one thing to talk
about evolution on a variety of levels and to talk about the evidence of how
nature has conducted herself. It's quite another to create an ideology,
and that's really what you're watching. And what you're in
danger of, Brian, with homosexual marriage, with gay marriage, is the creation
of human life in a test tube. What's interesting is you're going to
see more and more pushing for adoption, more and more pushing for a variety of
in-vitro fertilizations and other forms of reproduction, because gay marriages
by definition can't produce their own child. So, we're not only
redefining marriage. We're redefining parenting, we're redefining
how human life comes to be. Instead of a face-to-face covenantal relationship
of love producing new life, we're now going to look to a laboratory,
we're going to look to impersonal means, and there's something
dehumanizing, there's something destabilizing, about the entire
affair.

Sussman then asked: "What
happens when you devalue marriage, when a society devalues that covenant
relationship as you described it, between a husband and a wife? What does
history tell us?" Self responded:

SELF: Well,
we don't have to -- well, first of all, history tells us very clearly
that when marriage begins to break down, and family and clan ties break down,
you become -- it becomes a state of anarchy, and anarchy can only last so long
until totalitarianism comes in, and some form of state, either under a dictator

to 50 years. And with the rise of the welfare state, with the rise of no

begin to discover what the consequences are, Brian.



Sussman interjected: "OK, so you

young boy. That boy may have two parents, but that boy's still missing a

Toward the end of the

From the June 16 edition of KSFO's The Lee Rodgers Show: 

SUSSMAN:
It is 14 minutes past 6 on KSFO. Sherry, do we have the theme music for Dr.
History? Let's do a little Village People for Dr. History as we're
about to enter into a discussion on gay marriage. Ladies and gentlemen, would
you welcome a man who is far too brilliant to have to appear with this music
behind him, Dr. Charlie Self, the man with more degrees than a thermometer, on
KSFO. Hello, Dr. Self.

SELF:
Hey, I am glad to be with you, Brian. Happy Monday. And brilliant, not
brilliant, or whatever I may be, that's a lot of fun and put a smile on
my face here. 

SUSSMAN: All right. Dr. History, gay marriage --
it's going to begin in the state of California. It's official now, our
state Supreme Court has chosen to override the will of the voters from the 2000
election, where 61.4 percent of us said, yeah, marriage should be between a man
and a woman. Tell us how this stacks up from an historical perspective. 

SELF:
Well, a couple levels, Brian. First of all, just recent history alone should
have cause for concern. In the 1970s, Governor [Jerry] Brown passed the
Consenting Adults Act that allowed consenting adults to do whatever they wanted
in private, kind of removed all the old anti-sodomy statutes, and most people
didn't really worry about that; it was the 1970s, we're all at the
disco floor. And they said, we don't care about marriage or anything
else, we just want to be able to be left alone. 

By the 1980s
and early '90s, it was domestic partnerships and benefits from private
corporations. And of course, corporations made their decisions that way. Once
again, we were told, you know, don't worry, it won't matter,
it's just -- it's a private issue, we're not trying to
redefine things for other people. And by the late '90s and early part of
this decade, it's completely changed, to now, whether there's any
substance behind it at all, they want the symbolism of marriage, they want to
completely normalize and equalize a same-sex relationship as a relationship
that every culture and society for recorded history has made the most important
one for the continuance of that society. 

SUSSMAN:
OK, let's -- let's talk about that. Because, again, you're Dr. History, you study this stuff,
you enjoy looking back on history. What you're telling us is that never
in recorded history has a society decided, OK, we're just going to
redefine marriage, we think that that's going to be fine, there will be
no consequences. Talk to us from a historical perspective -- I mean, obviously,
this isn't a religious issue.

SELF: No, this is not a religious issue. There are people of deep faith who have concerns about it, but in
terms of just basic anthropology and history, you will not find any culture
that makes a homosexual relationship on the same level as a covenantal,
socially bound heterosexual relationship. Now, all through history, from the
time people began to record these things, people have had all kinds of --
variety of sexual experiences, both above ground and underground, but when it
comes to marriage and family, the continuance of society, marriage, traditional
marriage as we know it, has always been the preference of every culture in
every location. And I've -- I've tried to find exceptions to that,
and I have not. Now, some societies have been more or less tolerant of other
behavior, kind of going wink-wink at various behaviors. But when it comes to defining family -- and you know,
there's kind of a basic point, even if you're a complete
naturalist, if everything is biology, you aren't going to continue the
species if you try to encourage relationships that don't allow
reproduction.

SUSSMAN:
You know, that's kind of an interesting point. We were just talking about
Stanford's graduation yesterday, and Oprah speaking, and again, I was at
this post-graduation party in Stanford for a dear friend's daughter, and
so many at this event were talking about one of the speakers -- I think that it

you've heard bandied about is a politically correct figure based on
flawed science half a century ago, but the actual numbers are very small, and,

opportunities for young people and for especially junior high, high school, and

said that, yeah, it's between a man and a woman, and in our society we
say, here are the rules: man and a woman, you can't marry anyone under
this particular age, you can't marry a family member. So, the rules are
the same for all of us, Dr. History. But, for some reason, the gays want to
change those rules. I just don't understand it. Talk to me about that. 

SELF: Well,
let's just do a little genetic history, Brian. The royal houses of Europe
in the 19th and 20th centuries suffered immeasurably, physically and perhaps
even affected some the decisions of the state that led to some of the 20th
century disasters, because of marrying far too close. It's interesting
that throughout history, in a variety of traditions, people did not want you to
marry any closer than a second or third cousin. And there have been reasons for
that, some of them religious, some of them practical, but the more we study
this, the more we realize that variety, rather than over similarity, is far
better in the continuance of a healthy human generation. And so what
you're watching, as history will tell you, that some of the basic rules
-- again, whether they are religious or secular -- stand up pretty well in
producing healthy people. 

SUSSMAN:
Dr. Charlie Self has been our guest on KSFO. His website,
www.drcharlieself.com. We call him Dr. History, and it's always a
pleasure, my friend, to have you on the program. Enlightening stuff. 

SELF:
Well, it's a delight, Brian. And we have a light here coming in November
with an opportunity to overturn the Supremes. 





SUSSMAN:
Yes, with our opportunity to vote on this issue. Dr. Charlie Self, thanks for
being with us on KSFO. <blockquote style="background:#FAFAFA;border:1px dotted #E6E6E6;font:italic 10pt Times New Roman;padding:9px;">Media Matters - KSFO&#39;s Sussman invited guest to talk about his claim that "gay and lesbian radicals actively recruit through our schools and the media"   {...} Discussing gay marriage, San Francisco radio host Brian Sussman said to guest Charlie Self: "On your website -- it&#39;s interesting you&#39;re addressing this very topic, Dr. Self, and you talk about how gay and lesbian radicals actively recruit through our schools and the media in order to swell their ranks. Talk to us about that for a moment." Self asserted that there has been "a rash of [TV] programs in the last 10 years" that are "normalizing this particular chosen lifestyle." Self added, "The only way that you are going to grow the ranks of this kind of movement is this kind of onslaught because it is simply not part of the nature of things as designed or as evolved or as historically recorded for thousands of years."   {...}</blockquote><div style="font:8pt Verdana,Arial;vertical-align:top;"><span style="color:#808080;">Published:</span> June 19, 2008, 1:14 am - <span style="color:#808080;">Indexed:</span> June 19, 2008, 11:27 am - <span style="color:#808080;">Page Size:</span>&nbsp;38KB</div><div style="font:8pt Verdana,Arial;vertical-align:top;"><span style="color:#808080;">Category:</span> <a href="http://www.world-of-newave.info/society/">Society</a> &gt; <a href="http://www.world-of-newave.info/society/issues/">Issues</a> &gt; <a href="http://www.world-of-newave.info/society/issues/business/">Business</a> &gt; <a href="http://www.world-of-newave.info/society/issues/business/media/">Media</a> &gt;  <a href="http://www.world-of-newave.info/society/issues/business/media/bias-and-balance/"><b>Bias and Balance</b></a></div></td></tr></table>

		<description>We are looking for a roommate to share our 2BR, 2-bathroom apartment in San Leandro. You would get the master bedroom, with private full bathroom and large linen closet. Bedroom also has very large closet. Fully stocked kitchen, though we are happy to make room for your stuff too. Living room is furnished, but you are welcome to use/share it. Shared back porch. There is parking on the premises, and plenty on the street. Very conveniently located: 1 mile to BART (with bus that goes directly there less than 5 minutes walk). Right off 580 (less than 5 minutes), not far from 880. Coin-op laundry in building, dishwasher, gas stove, no microwave (but we do have a convection/toaster oven).

We are 2 women (a couple) in our early to mid 30's. We are relatively quiet: one is a Celtic/folk musician and one watches tv, but we tend to keep volume levels lower than one would expect. We are a low drama couple, and are seeking low drama roommates. We are familiar with and enjoy community living, but would also be fine with someone who keeps to themself or is not home much. One omnivore and one vegetarian (but the omnivore does all the cooking, and has grown to enjoy the challenge of making meals diverse households can enjoy). Roommates might also need to know: we're Pagan, polyamorous, SciFi fans, gamer geeks; one Gaelic speaking, SCA lesbian harper/singer/songwriter, and one purple obsessed bisexual nightowl bookworm (named Cat). We also have 2 cats: a fluffy, grumpy, 15-year-old Calico, and a very pretty, friendly, gray seal-point short-hair.

The apartment complex does not allow dogs, and we already have 2 cats. We may consider other small pets, but we'd have to think about it. We don't smoke, drink, or do any drugs (our substances of choice include music, chocolate, and Buffy videos), and we don't allow any smoking or any drugs in the apartment. I can tolerate someone having a drink once in a while, but I can also easily get very uncomfortable (and somewhat unpleasant) around drinking if it impairs your thinking or reactions at all, ever.

We are looking for someone who would be respectful to us, low to no drama, who can communicate well and can handle stress in non-violent ways (including no verbal violence), who is responsible and pays their bills on time. If you are really a neat freak, you may find it difficult to live here: we are not slobs and things are clean, but do get a bit cluttered sometimes, and right now we just moved so it's pretty cluttered at the moment (we are working on clearing it, though).

We are pretty hard to shock, and are welcoming of all kinds of lifestyles: queer, non-conventionally gendered, polyamorous, almost all religions (as long as you are respectful of us), alternative/holistic healing, alternative politics (we are pretty progressive for the east coast, haven't really figured out the bay area yet), artsy, intellectual, academic, athletic, goth, and many other forms of "weird". We can't allow any kink-play in the apartment, however. Also, no incense in the apartment, though sage and naturally scented candles are fine (we have chemical sensitivities, but can tolerate essential oils).

$650/month plus 1/3 of utilities (PG&E and any part of phone/cable/internet you choose to share). We are also asking a $650 security deposit, payable in installments if necessary.

Feel free to forward this message to people who you think might be interested. You can call us at 510-363-8579 and ask for Caera (KEERa) or Christina, or reply to the email above.</description>

All current housemates are responsible, friendly, considerate, and non-intrusive (respectful of each other's privacy). None of us smokes, uses illegal drugs, or engages in illegal activities. These traits are required for a new housemate. 



Sometimes, we share coffee or a meal. We always speak to each other. We have common sense and clean up after ourselves. We seldom have guests. The house has a pleasant, conversational ambience when we are together downstairs.


One of the two men is a 32-year-old hard-working nurse.  He served in the navy, is straight, and will soon start a graduate program at Stanford.  The other man is a 26-year old bisexual law school student.  He is a mellow, laid-back guy from Virginia.  The woman is mature and straight, has some health problems, and often stays at home.  All three are helpful, courteous, and positive about life.

All current housemates are responsible, friendly, considerate, and non-intrusive (respectful of each other's privacy). None of us smokes, uses illegal drugs, or engages in illegal activities. These traits are required for a new housemate. 



Sometimes, we share coffee or a meal. We always speak to each other. We have common sense and clean up after ourselves. We seldom have guests. The house has a pleasant, conversational ambience when we are together downstairs.


One of the two men is a 32-year-old hard-working nurse.  He served in the navy, is straight, and will soon start a graduate program at Stanford.  The other man is a 26-year old bisexual law school student.  He is a mellow, laid-back guy from Virginia.  The woman is mature and straight, has some health problems, and often stays at home.  All three are helpful, courteous, and positive about life.
