Man and Woman

Sometimes I can't even believe our society. Humans are supposed to be so advanced, but our society is so fucking stupid. Bush is proposing a constitutional amendment that restricts same sex marriages. Now we ALL know our president is a fucking idiot son of an asshole, but it's worse than that. Our local news station said "and how do New Mexicans feel?" and they showed that in their poll, "65% support the ban on gay-marriages". They interviewed different locals, and one said "for years marriage has been between a man and a woman and I don't think that should change". What a fucking great reason to be in support of something, because "it's been that way for years". I wanna slap that guy in the face every week for the next dozen years and he'll HAVE to be ok with it by that time, because after all "it's been that way for years, and I don't think it should change"... or what would be even better is if his daughter came out of the closet and all of a sudden he realized that it's not cool to be against gays (a certain Dick Cheny comes to mind). What is almost as amazing as the fact that many people somehow feel it is their duty to stop gays from marrying, is the fact that it is 'controversial' in the first place! I can hardly understand how this is even considered a major 'issue'. I won't be surprised next week when I see the commercial for our news, "should blacks be able to marry? your votes at 10:00".
