On chickens and such

[urbpan]

I think since politics are dominating my thoughts these days I have to give up on apologizing about it.  Drop me from your friends list if you must, but I have stuff on my mind and it comes out here.

The victory for chickens in California should not be taken to mean that Californians care more about chickens' rights than human rights.  I'm pretty pissed off about question 8 passing, but I'm happy about animal welfare being taken seriously.  The chickens are still going to be killed and eaten, after all.  The gay married couples have some unneeded stress and irritation coming, but hey, they still live in California.



But seriously, how could you vote to take the happy out of this picture??

I was sad about prop 8 too, but then someone else commented saying that someday people will look back on it and shake their heads at its barbarism. In my good moods I believe that.

That's my feeling too: someday we're going to look back at this struggle and wonder how the majority could be so prejudiced (kind of like we do now when we contemplate separate drinking fountains for blacks and such). I just wish we could start looking back NOW.
