Agreed, Howly. I try to avoid getting political on forums, social media, etc. but 1) I don't think this is the time for silence and 2) I think - despite the best efforts of some vested interests to make it so - that this fundamental issue transcends politics. We all - regardless of ethnicity, gender, religion, orientation, etc. - deserve equal protection and due process under the law and we all - regardless of ethnicity, gender, religion, orientation, etc. - have an equal right to pursue life, liberty, happiness, and tasty waves as enshrined in our venerable constitution. This isn't a guns/butter political argument. This is about respecting and valuing the lives of all of our fellow human beings. We should all take time to reflect and question how we can be better to one another and start doing our part. If someone disagrees with that then they're the real kook, IMO.
