Politics is making me sad.

I'm worried that the Obama vs. Palin contest is going to go the wrong way because someone showed basic human decency to a family member. I'm worried that my state is going to make a huge civil rights mistake. And I can only shake my head at the latest round of ads.

You see, "gay marriage might be taught in schools!" As near as I can suss this out, some folks are of the opinion children should not be told some one or more of the following, ever (not sure which):

1. Gay people exist.
2. They often pair off into stable couples.
3. This is called "marriage."

Because voting no on a ballot proposition will totally keep second graders from finding this stuff out.

While we're at it, let's outlaw falling rocks and pass an initiative making the sun visible at night.

I realize I'm being kind of monomaniacal lately. I'll try to do better.
