women should no longer be able to vote? It's not just Hispanics... it's all minorities (including women, who probably outnumber men in the general population). They definitely want to strip us of our right to vote, and as hard as it is to keep all the documents of marriage, divorce, remarriage, and any other name change so you have an unbroken timeline from one name to the next, I'd advise any young woman thinking about her future life to NOT change her name when she gets married. Forget that Christian tradition. It's only there to convey ownership, anyway. These guys keep going, and we really WILL sweep away all their traditions as useless, outdated, and harmful to the majority of people. I know they're making me mad enough at them, and my family has always been grounded in the evangelical religion. I'm not... but then, I'm the blacksheep in the family for any number of reasons!
