]]> Comment on RANT: Prop 8 – How Often Will We Have To Defend Marriage? by Patrick Meighan http://blog.mudbarn.com/2008/10/18/rant-prop-8/comment-page-1#comment-559 Patrick Meighan Sun, 19 Oct 2008 04:21:09 +0000 http://blog.mudbarn.com/?p=92#comment-559 <i>"Assuming we defeat prop 8, what’s to keep it from showing up on every ballot from here to the end of time? I can’t stand the idea of creating laws to define basic human rights, and I think it’s deplorable that people would use the legal system to impose their values system on other people who don’t share their viewpoint. But what sort of legal protection can we obtain from these impositions that cost us millions of dollars to defend?"</i> Assuming we do defeat Prop 8 (which is a big assumption... let's get're done, first, before going too deep into the discussion of what comes next) I don't believe there's anything to be done to keep it from coming up again and again. The good news, though, is that the longer same-sex marriage is legal in California, the more people realize that the other side's horror stories haven't come to pass (i.e., no churches have been forced to conduct same-sex marriages in violation of their religious beliefs), rendering the populace increasingly less likely to vote to eliminate same-sex marriage. This is the other side's last, best chance to rid California of same-sex marriage, before people get too used to it and realize that it hasn't destroyed the fabric of society. And the other side knows that, too, which is why they're working so hard to pass Prop 8.

We heated up water in the stock pot, then submerged as many of the bottles as would fit. We let the labels soften for a minute or so, then we pulled the bottles out and immediately peeled an end of each label with a table knife, and peeled the rest of the label off by hand. I seem to recall that the front label was more difficult to remove than the back and the neck labels. They seemed to use stickier glue. There was usually a good bit of glue left behind, so I used a scrubber sponge to get the remaining adhesive off. The sponge gummed up fairly quickly and frequently needed some maintenance to clear it up for the next few bottles. I don't think I want to use Heineken bottles anymore. The green glass is a little less sturdy than brown and doesn't block light from spoiling the hops. Also, a 12oz bottle just isn't a proper serving size for beer. Next time I want 16 or 22oz brown bottles. I noticed someone found this entry by searching on removing labels from Heineken bottles, so I figured I’d elaborate on the procedure.
