“They don’t really touch. Women don’t shake hands with men. So the first time Darcy touches Elizabeth is when he helps her into the carriage. Which is a really beautiful moment. Because it’s the first skin-on-skin touch.
I think today, we don't think twice about that at all. I shake people's hands, I give them a kiss, whatever. It's interesting to think, if you don't have that tactile nature, how important one touch can be."

Last Night
Don’t think. Thinking is the enemy of creativity. It’s self-conscious, and anything self-conscious is lousy. You can’t try to do things. You simply must do things.

She can handle trouble and carry heavy burdens.
She holds happiness, love, and opinions.
She smiles when she feels like screaming.
She sings when she feels like crying, cries when
she's happy, and laughs when she is afraid.
Her love is unconditional.
There is only one thing...
She sometimes forgets what she is worth.

One Marriage, Under God, Indivisible, With Liberty and Justice for None
Now, those last few sentences were rather accusatory and angry. I do not want that inescapable rout of emotion for me, to cloud what I feel is a rather ambivalent opinion I have on the situation at hand. I respect religious beliefs. Even those that do not pertain to me. The same goes for societal standards. But just as I have never, and neither has my family, gone knocking on the doors of nuns, priests or evangelical crusaders, telling them how their beliefs are wrong, I will not accept those people doing the same to me, and those I care for. When this proposition went through, it blurred the lines of decency, opinion, religion and politics. Something as complex, emotionally driven, and life changing, as a relationship with a power that is deemed to be so much stronger than we little humans could ever be, should NEVER tangle with the likes of paper work, media, mass ruling, money and rudimentary condemnation. This brings me back to what I said about the world I was a part of, making this film in San Francisco. These, yes, even self proclaimed "freaks of nature" that surrounded me, have turned out to be, some of the most decent, kind, understanding, and loving human beings I have ever known. All of those words being the fundamental gifts of Jesus Christ.
It seems, at times, the Americans who hate homosexuals are just as quick to bastardize Hindus. Well, I'm sure they would find a lot more links and holes in beliefs in common than they would hope to find. Women, African Americans, the Handicapped and all of the so called, at one time or another, "second class citizens" have been punished and then years later, as human progression catches up, forgiven and respected. Even if it is only on paper.
I ask of you, my fellow age bracket, to hold on to your beliefs and opinions, whatever they are. But let them be your own. Don't place all of your thinking on a line in the book. Because at that rate, let's go stone the wives. They're of equal importance, those teachings, right? Pretty soon, if you're not listening to the radio or watching Transformers 3, you'll be condemned too. There will be some other line discovered that talks about music played backwards and movies that play at one screen theaters.
I'm sure the three people that might stumble upon this will find many typos, say I'm a raging liberal, ass hole, idiot, west coaster; so be it. I'm just a lady, who has seen so many people: religious, straight, atheist, gay, artist, political, believer, go through the pain and brutality we ourselves ever so deserve.
Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness is a gift for all. Let's not abuse it.
To my brothers and sisters, who are gay, straight, preachers, "different", you have my ovte for your happiness. For all we know, it may be short lived, but today was a small victory for all of you as propostitoin eight was overturned, and I celebrate with you on this. I march for you, and I pray for you; may the cruelty of man's judgment some day reach the divine grace.

Deadliest Poisons
Cyanide - Cyanide kills by preventing red blood cells from absorbing oxygen. This resulted in a process known as “internal shortness of breath”. Cyanide capsules were allegedly used by spies in World War II as an easy escape option to avoid persecution.
Arsenic - Anyone swallowing large amounts of arsenic will usually die within a few hours following seizures and shock. If death does not occur at this earlier stage your kidneys will pack in and you will be dead within days. Historically, it is a favourite tool of killers.
Brazilian Wandering Spider - This spider kills around five people a year. Symptoms include immediate pain, heavy perspiration and drooling. Often hides in bunches of bananas.
Capsaicin - This is the chemical that makes chillis hot, but in its purest form it is strong enough to kill you if you eat it. Will cause burns and blistering in contact with human skin.
Death Cap Mushroom - One of the most toxic fungi, 30g is enough to kill a human. Symptoms include jaundice, lethargy, sweats and dizziness, Usually the only treatment is a liver transplant.
Ricin - This toxin is made from the castor bean. Twice as deadly as cobra venom, two-tenths of a milligram is a lethal dose. At one point, the U.S. Army considered using ricin as a chemical weapon.
Golden Poison frog - It is probably the most poisonous animal on Earth. It is so toxic that even touching it can be dangerous. A single frog contains enough poison to kill 20,000 mice or 10 people. It is usually found in Central and South America.
Anthrax - Anthrax is an acute infectious disease caused by the spore-forming bacterium Bacillus anthracis. Inhalational anthrax is highly fatal. Respiratory infection initially presents with cold or flu-like symptoms for several days, followed by severe (and often fatal) respiratory collapse. If not treated soon after exposure, before symptoms appear, there is a near 100% mortality.
Deathstalker scorpion - Found in the hot climates of North Africa and the Middle East, the Deathstalker can kill a human with a single stab of its barbed tail.
Black Widow spider - The Black Widow is easily identifiable by the distinctive red markings on its stomach. It is a large widow spider found throughout the world and commonly associated with urban habitats or agricultural areas. The Black Widow’s venom is 15 times more potent than a rattlesnakes.
Dioxin - Reputed to be the most dangerous man-made poison, it is 60,000 times more toxic than cyanide. A dose of only 50 micrograms is lethal for a human - that’s a 1,000th of a small pill.
Death Lily - Leaves can be confused with wild onions. Found in America and Siberia. It’s fatal to humans and animals. Symptoms start with burning lips and grow to slow heart beat, low temperature, coma and finally death.
