Steve Jobs Dies
Steve Jobs passed away yesterday. He had been fighting pancreatic cancer for quite some time and was emaciated from the disease. Jobs was a very productive human being, creating technology that has greatly benefited mankind. His contributions to society are on a par with those of Edison. Thank you, Steve, for all you did and all you gave us.
Hail and farewell.
Hail and farewell.

Steve Jobs Nearing the End of Life?
I think we will lose Steve soon. He has been a great capitalist, a great producer of technological innovation and creator of wealth for many people.

Pro-Gay Advocacy Defense of Manhattan Declaration: An Open Letter to Steve Jobs: Supporters of Gay Marriage still can be appalled at Apple's treatment of Manhattan Declaration
Steve Jobs
CEO, Apple
No hate speech is used in any manner by those who are involved with the document or its intentions, and it would appear that free speech and the right to think and advocate openly in America are seriously compromised.
I believe strongly that the gay rights movement is best served by adhering to the robust democratic ideal of John Stuart Mill: The noble concept of the free flow of ideas which is paramount in the democratic dialectical process. Surely GLBTQ Advocacy's most mature and balanced members agree in principle.
As our founding father James Madison declared, "Ambition shall counteract ambition"; there is no need of supression of one side.
Please reconsider your actions, or you may alienate many of your own supporters.
With best regards,
Confidently and respectfully yours;

Traditional Values Group Garners 7,000 signatures; Servers Swamped over Apple app
The Culture Wars are Back:
Manhattan Declaration - a movement associated with Brian Brown's Washington DC based National Organization for Marriage - has said that it has gathered over 7,000 signatures protesting Apple's deletion of their app. Traffic has been so heavy to their website that the servers have nearly shut down.
Apple had originally granted the app a rating of 4, indicating that no objectionable content was found.
After LGBTQ advocacy groups protested, the app was deleted. What Apple CEO Steve Jobs' response will be remains to be seen. Apple has thus far ignored the group's request to reinstate their application for iTunes.
Clearly, the GLBTQ advocacy groups and the Traditional Marriage movement are butting heads. The Culture Wars are back...
Despite the uphill battle, the Manhattan Declaration has no plans to go quietly into the night.
“We really think that once Apple sits back and takes a breath and really looks at this from a reasonable perspective that they’re going to reinstate it,” said Farmer. “We still have hopes that they’ll do that.”
So while gay rights groups may be saying, “not a chance in hell,” the Manhattan Declaration thinks it has a prayer.

Manhattan Declaration leaders write CEO Steve Jobs after Apple pulls iPhone app
Image by Getty Images via @daylifeGroup for Traditional Values cries foul after Apple pulls their app.
The Manhattan Declaration app was accepted by Apple and rated as a 4+, which indicated that the app contained "no objectionable content".
However, after a "small but very vocal" protest coming from gay advocacy, Apple pulled the app during the Thanksgiving holiday.
Now, Manhattan Declaration leaders are writing Apple CEO Steve Jobs and urging him to restore the application.
