It saddens me to see states adding hateful, discriminatory measures to their constitution [reuters.com]. With all of the positive civil rights progress the United States has made in the last fifty years, we as a nation really ought to know better.
What really boils my bottom, though, is that I see this as a cynical ploy by ultra-conservatives to galvanize the right. Every voter who is worried about "homahsekshuhls" destroying their marriage (how someone else's marriage is a threat to yours I'll never know) isn't worried about how mismanaged the war on terror or the (apparent) war on our country's fiscal health has become. The "institution of marriage" is under a far greater threat by Britney Spears getting married as a lark or this country's cultural pressure to get married because it's the right thing to do.
The divorce rate in this country isn't pushing 50% because a few same sex couples got married in Massachusetts.

you said it all and with perfect use of words lol so all I can say is that is great to see that others think the same and are trying to ruffle the feathers of those very old and dusty bird-brains :-)
