Again, not a political blog.  This site is for me to post my daily musings on videogames, movies, updates on my book, pulp fiction, retards, etc.  This site is a tribute to me, what I like, why I think I am awesome and why I think jokes about the elderly are funny.

Again, not a political blog.  And I don’t want to go there.  Much.

But my post yesterday did seem to stir up some conversation with a few of my readers.  Every comment attributed to my rant was insightful and motivating.  Good job, readers.

Brandon and I stood outside last night, chain-smoking and discussing Prop 8 and what it really means, not just to the gay community, but to our country as a whole.  This shameless CA constitutional mandate is, in my opinion, the spark to ignite a new civil rights movement.

So, I will have a few more posts in me about this.  I was pretty heated when I wrote the Prop 8 post yesterday, and believe me, I generally stay away from politics or social issues, because most of the time I just don’t care.  Not on this issue, though.  I have something I plan to post about this, but I will have to actually sit down outside of work and post it.  Stay tuned, I think this may be one of the first and only times you will see me outwardly socially conscious.

Anyways, stay tuned.  I want to know if there is anyone who would be willing to help actively address this issue, not just in Cali, not just here in VA but in the U.S.

EDIT: Brandon has written a well-worded, insightful bit on his site: Milestones, Political Apathy, Prop 8

EDIT 2: There is an awesome discussion going on at Brandon’s blog on this issue.  Go check it.
