Congratulations to Ireland...

...as I'm just looking at the CBC report on your national marital rights referendum as I type this.

I suspect you will find this result and its consequences a very good thing for your nation in the decades ahead. That we have it in Canadian law - and have done for over a decade now - is all well and good, but I have to admit to some envy over the fact that we didn't get it done in the way you're going about it.

That's alright, though.

Again: congratulations, and take good care of each other.

As with newspapers...

For discussion. Something that a co-founding employee of USA Today had to say about newspapers. It might also apply to comic books/graphic novels/manga/BD/whatever else we call them.
