OK...a little premature...

You can't blame me for getting a little worked up over this whole Prop. 8 thing. It's enormously frustrating.

We live in a representative democracy, and far be it from me to suggest that the majority is not always right. But you'll have to excuse me, because I have roots in the German culture, and something tells me that there's a lesson to learn there...that maybe just because a majority of the population thinks something is right, doesn't mean it is.

I'm pretty sure that's why we have courts in this country...to keep things in check. That way, even if the majority DOES decide to take away the rights of a minority, there are level-headed folks who can say "Whoah! Let's think about this. Let's think about our founding principles and not be quick to trample on the rights of the 'few' just because there are 'many' who think it's a good idea."

But that is precisely what is happening in California...and all over the world, for that matter.

Couch it in whatever religious terms you like (we've separated religion from the state for a reason!), it simply IS what it IS. The State of California offers privileges to some people and not to others based on sexual orientation.
