But wait! She's Asian, and he's Caucasian, so....
Until Loving vs. Virginia overturned the ban on interracial marriage in 1967, they were just as evil in the eyes of conservatives as two men or two women ...well, they probably still are, but at least now they can get married.

April 18, 1906; 5:12 am ...because if you ever lived in San Francisco, Jeanette MacDonald sings 'San Francisco'
If you've ever lived in San Francisco, then at some time you gotta stand atop a hill (any one in the City), and sing it (don't be embarrassed; everyone else has done it, too).
It has a similar affect when coming up the peninsula or crossing the bay, and passing that tiny sign that reads,
San Francisco
CITY AND COUNTY
POP 793,700 ELEV 61

Japan - Earthquake & Mega-Tsunami 11-03-2011.mp4
Actually, at approximately 2:30 am Pacific Time, the DJ broke into the song I had playing softly on my clock radio to announce the earthquake, and that tsunami warnings had been issued for Hawaii and the entire West Coast of the US, along with all the Pacific Islands. It was those poor souls along the shoreline nearest the epicenter that had the least amount of time to escape to higher ground --by some accounts, less than five minutes after the quake struck.
For more than a half century, as California's population doubled and development spread unchecked through low-lying wetlands and shorelines, there have been geologists and urban planners warning against building on much of this scenic California coastline. I know of at least one report, detailing the risks inherent in building mile-by-mile for the entire California coast, that was pooh-poohed by developers that put profit over people.

Fred Korematsu Day
It was a high honor to have met Mr. Korematsu several years back at the Japanese American National Museum. Today around California --and the nation-- there are remembrances to observe the anniversary of Japanese Americans internment during WWII.
