What's worse than legislated "morality?"

Alabama voters passed a ban on gay marriage by a 4-to-1 ratio Tuesday, joining voters in Arkansas, Georgia, Kentucky, Michigan, Mississippi, Montana, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon and Utah. The measure passed in those states in 2004.

It's times like this that I get scared of the power that democracy vests in the citizenry. Some times a vote just shows that the majority is a bunch of discriminatory oppressors.

More tomorrow, I hope.
