My favorite comment I read about WA State this year is “It’s a grand day in WA state for gay pot leaves!” Proud to live in this state. 🙂

Seriously though I am often times confused by folks who call for a government “ban on X” (pot, gay marriage, etc.), but in the same breath say the problem with our Country is too much government interference and laws. Which one is it? Oh that’s right, too many laws if I don’t like them; not enough laws if I personally (me, myself and I) see something I don’t like. 🙂

Legislation is not carved onto stone tablets (although often the time that is involved in the process does allow for it). I know it takes some people longer to evolve into understanding the fairness of marriage equality and I believe all states will eventually recognize it. In the mean time, the political discourse will provide future generations with the same sense of disbelief that my children have about segregation.

Reality is very complicated. Those who are “right” and adopt a simplified reality in their minds invariably end up being hypocritical not by choice but as a side effect of putting a square peg in a multi-dimensional hole.

The people who say, “The majority rule. That’s how democracy works, you know” don’t know! They miss one of the major points of our constitution – it protects the rights of minorities. That would be the Bill of Rights.
