This is the tale of the 1% standing up for the rights of
the, and I’m guessing here, the 10%
Jeff Bezos, the billionaire founder of Amazon.com, and his
wife, MacKenzie, are donating $2.5 million to help pass that same-sex marriage
referendum in Washington. This makes the couple among the largest financial
backers of marriage equality rights in the entire country.
And I say Bravo
and Brava!
The donation has doubled the
money available to Referendum 74 proponents, who are calling it a “game-changing
gift that gives them a fighting chance” in November.
Zach Silk, the campaign
manager for Washington United For Marriage, says, “To
get this from a straight, married couple sends a powerful message that marriage
is seen as a fundamental question of fairness.”
Thursday in an
interview.
Bezos joins a growing list of
heterosexual business executives—like Bill Gates and Steven Ballmer--who are
replacing wealthy gay people as the some of the biggest donors to the movement
behind marriage equality. Those two men each gave $100,000, but with his
seven-figure gift, Bezos has now set the bar even higher.
Jennifer Cast, one of Amazon’s earliest employees and a
lesbian mother of four, and a now a fundraiser for the pro-referendum effort,
emailed Bezos recently about marriage equality.
In her e-mail, Cast asked Bezos to understand the importance
of the issue to her and her longtime partner: “I want to have the right to
marry the love of my life and to let my children and grandchildren know their
family is honored like a ‘real’ family. We need help from straight people. To
be very frank, we need help from wealthy straight people who care about us and
who want to help us win.”
Cast says she gad no idea how
Bezos would respond until she received an email back from him:
“Jen,” the e-mail
said, “this is right for so many reasons. We’re in for $2.5 million. Jeff &
MacKenzie.”
Jeff and MacKenzie Bezos are an extremely private couple,
and declined, through a public relations representative, to be interviewed
about their donation, but their gift speaks volumes. Loudly.

BOYCOTT AMERICAN WOMEN
Why American men should boycott American women
http://boycottamericanwomen.blogspot.com/
I am an American man, and I have decided to boycott American women. In a nutshell, American women are the most likely to cheat on you, to divorce you, to get fat, to steal half of your money in the divorce courts, don't know how to cook or clean, don't want to have children, etc. Therefore, what intelligent man would want to get involved with American women?
American women are generally immature, selfish, extremely arrogant and self-centered, mentally unstable, irresponsible, and highly unchaste. The behavior of most American women is utterly disgusting, to say the least.
This blog is my attempt to explain why I feel American women are inferior to foreign women (non-American women), and why American men should boycott American women, and date/marry only foreign (non-American) women.
Tens of millions of American men have had their lives completely destroyed by American women through the following crimes:
1. False rape accusations (it has been proven that up to 80 percent of rape accusations are FALSE)
2. False domestic violence (DV) charges (same as above)
3. Financial destruction of men in divorce courts through alimony and support payments (women get up to 95 percent of their ex-husband's income and savings, as well as the house, car, etc)
4. Emotional destruction of men by ex-wives who have stolen their children from them and forbidden the fathers from having custody or contact with their own children
5. Divorced dads who commit suicide as a result
Not one single American woman has EVER condemned their fellow American women for committing these crimes against men. Silence means consent. Therefore, American women support and enjoy destroying men's lives and causing men to commit suicide. Apparently, American women think it is okay to be a criminal, just as long as you are a woman. Therefore, is it any surprise that a huge percent of American men no longer want anything to do with American women, other than using them for easy sex and then throwing them away?
A few more reasons to stay away from American women?
-25 percent of American women take psychiatric drugs for mental illnesses.
-25 percent of women under the age of 30 have at least one STD.
-85 percent of divorces in America are INITIATED by women, thus women are responsible for the vast majority of divorces.
-70 percent of criminals in America were raised by single mothers, thus feminism is responsible for most crime in America.
-The majority of child molestation, child abuse, and child murder in America is done by WOMEN.
Over 50 percent of American women are single, without a boyfriend or husband; so the fact is most American men no longer want to marry American women. Let these worthless American women grow old living alone with their 10 cats.
BOYCOTT AMERICAN WOMEN!
Hey Bob, I don't think our spammer here likes American women that much....
Anyway, this generous donation hopefully causes the people of Washington to really think & re-think their position on the matter.
Good for Bezos and his wife!!
Weird spammer.
