so it's an incredible opportunity and it's a incredible race. >> derek, why the opposition? are people saying fine everyone should have the right to marry and to that loving relationship legally bound if they choose why the opposition? >> well you have to look at it. we don't look at it as opposition to anybody we are supporting maryland that's been around since 1973 and before that marriage was between a man and a woman. and it didn't change before that so our deal is we think that marriage is just fundamental core to society and benefited very well and it's more than about what in two adults want but the future and next generation and the kids and i think when you look at it and say, well, we change the law and nothing happens that's a disinginous perspective and we have to look at it and say what are the things that will change how are we going to continue to move forward in society and i think we will of course because we are great americans, but i think at the same time, this is one of the bills that's worth considered. >> you talk about the future and lessons to teach

i would say one of them is lying, which one, derek? well, i don't want to accuse either side of lying as such, but i will point out that the washington post has editorialized in favor of allowing the expanded gambling in maryland as they argue that while gambling is not without their problems, why should states like west virginia and delaware keep getting millions of dollars from the maryland gamblers? and i frankly think that's a pretty good question. and then this from our good friend john from chantilly that says they seem wise beyond their years. rg3 says the right thing and never gives the other side to put anything up on the bulletin board. of course, he's worried about the carolina defense, not about cam newton. on the other side of the ball, cam newton is not having a good year, but i bet that he is wanting to face one of the worst defenses in the nfl. i'm thinking that he will probably light up the redskins on sunday. you know what, john, it would not be the first time that the team got well against the skins. on the other han
