Doing Right Feels Good

There they were again full of hate and fear holding their signs encouraging passersby to vote in favor of taking away constitutional rights from at least 10% of the people in this state. This weekend things were a little different, though. Several people holding NO signs had joined the YES sign holders. The YES folk stood stony faced while the NO folk waved and smiled and seemed generally pleased to be standing outside holding signs encouraging passersby to support the constitution and equal rights for all.
Maybe the NO folk were happy. Maybe it just feels better to be championing for the common good instead of spreading hatred and fear and lies.
Those NO folks were, to me, the cavalry coming over the hill sounding bugle cries of hope.

Sounds to me that people don't quite understand Prop. 8. If they did, they would realize their civil liberties are threatened. What idiots.
