All I Ask Is For Powerful People

To This Culture Warrior, Gay Marriage Is Not A Vital Issue. I Don't Believe The Republic Will Collapse If Larry Marries Brendan. However, It Is Clear That Most Americans Want Heterosexual Marriage To Maintain Its Special Place In American Society. And As Long As Gays Are Not Penalized In The Civil Arena, I Think The Folks Should Make The Call At The Ballot Box. Traditional Marriage Is Widely Seen As A Social Stabilizer, And I Believe That Is True.

That's My Advice To All Homosexuals, Whether They're In The Boy Scouts, Or In The Army Or In High School: Shut Up, Don't Tell Anybody What You Do, Your Life Will Be A Lot Easier.

I'm Not Writing A Ph.d. Dissertation.

The Gay Marriage Thing To Me, I Don't Understand Why It's So Important For The Secular Progressives In This Country, The People Who Want To Change America Fundamentally And Every Way, Why This Is The Lead Issue. The L.a. Times, New York Times, San Francisco Chronicle, Boston Globe. These People Are Going, 'oh, My God, What Are You Doing? How Can You Not See The Civil Rights Aspect Of This?'

I Think The Secret To Success Is A Short-term Outlook. So For Example, I'm Writing The Next Killing Book Now And I Have To Just Make Every Chapter Compelling, So I Can't Get Too Far Ahead Of It. I Just Stay In The Present And Then Go Over What I Have To Do.
