prop 8

I'll predict right now that in 50 to 100 years, when history looks back at the momentous events of the last week and the way that civil rights were affected, they will also view last tuesday as a black mark that will make us all look like a bunch of savage animals.  And I can only hope that we can spend the time between now and then making sure that that is the way it turns out.

LOATHING

Hey Obama people: stop being such a bunch of dicks.  I say this as one of you.  But when you act like stupid jerks and treat people that don't agree with you like lower class citizens or something, YOU ARE WORSE THEN THEM.  You are just as bad as the loony tunes that pull people out of line at the polling place, or the lady who wouldn't give candy to Obama allied trick-or-treaters.  YOU REALLY ARE.  You don't get to call someone else crazy or write them off just because they don't agree with you.  That's not healing the country, that's rubbing horse manure in the existing injury.

Part of the trick here is this:  Obama will eventually do something you hate.  You'll just hate the hell out of it.  He will let you down, he will break your heart.  AND MCCAIN PEOPLE:  The same applies to you.  We're not voting for a new God.  We're just charged with deciding who we think has the better plan.  Because to lose track of the fact that this is all bullshit is crazy.  It's all bullshit, just pick the bullshit that strike you as best.  But don't get in anyone's face because they like the other bullshit.  

Distrust, rage, and spite are what made this country interesting in the first place.  So it's a little strange that people are so pumped about this guy.  And hey, I'm pumped about this guy.  But he's just a guy.  Just a dude.
