The adult...I am filled with rage, blogged about it. The adult in me feels I need to tamp things down in a seamly manner---but I just couldn't. I understand being blinded by rage is ugly and somehow reflects a scared little being. But right now, I feel like a scared little being...I want to lash. Oh man. Okay. I lashed at home. And I'm lashing here. And once I finish lashing around, I will do something very productive. But before I even get to that, I need to slap some Mormons with a dildo.Don Cummingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05906705792248172718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13726206.post-74285800184449963542008-11-05T14:44:00.000-08:002008-11-05T14:44:00.000-08:00PV: I think there's a place for seething, unproduc...PV: I think there's a place for seething, unproductive anger and then, when we've gotten it out of our system, for righteous, productive anger. I'm feeling a little better about things now, but that might just be the coffee talking.<BR/><BR/>MH: I was really happy about Prop. 2, but yeah, a lot of people are rightly making that comparison. My friend updated his Facebook status to say, "Matias is thinking of changing his sexual orientation to 'bovine.'" (Now, if I was really all about equality, I'd go learn what's coming up on Canadian ballots. I'm so clueless.)<BR/><BR/>TL: I'm happy to know so many great people, gay and straight, Californian and otherwise, who are sharing this joy and sorrow. Although there's also part of me that wishes I knew a few haters to yell at.Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07554329549665664616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13726206.post-9735590056784911612008-11-05T14:18:00.000-08:002008-11-05T14:18:00.000-08:00I can't tell you how sad this made me.I can't tell you how sad this made me.Tracy Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05310783668282179929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13726206.post-52273879738869288492008-11-05T13:04:00.000-08:002008-11-05T13:04:00.000-08:00So California voted to make its animals' lives bet...So California voted to make its animals' lives better (Prop 2) but not the lives of its own people (Prop 8)? Do I have that right?<BR/><BR/>I am honestly shocked. What a strange election.

Failing that, let's spend the next 2 years putting a bunch of young, healthy liberals on the Supreme Court.Clairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06168243108016358137noreply@blogger.com
