Proposition 8 forever

Throughout the history of the United States, we have commended ourselves that we have held elections, after which the losers have accepted their fate respectfully, without the rioting in the streets characteristically found in some less orderly societies. That is, until November 2008, when that observance of propriety was demolished by gays and lesbians, an avowed sub-species of Homo sapiens, who protested the majority vote of the people of the State of California. The moment a police presence was needed, our proud tradition was shattered, and shame was brought to our election.

To add to the humiliation, Don Barnett, in his 12/1 letter to the Sacramento Bee, threatened that we should "be prepared to be appalled [by such behavior] for a long, long time," and referred to the vote of the people of California as "injustice." Barnett ended his rant by promising a "celebration" when and if the will of the people is subverted. Will there be police needed to control that event, as well?
