Striding boldly out of the 18th century

I lived in Kansas long enough to consider myself a native. I also lived in the only liberal oasis in the state.

My brother (who says that there's not nearly enough of him in this blog) just sent me this link.

I can't say that I'm surprised that Kansas voted to amend their constitution to ban same-sex marriages. I mean, what can you really expect from the same folks that at one time voted to ban the teaching of evolution in school (in all fairness I found one link that says that later Kansas put evolution back into the curriculum, along with cosmology, plate tectonics and the notion that the Earth revolves around the Sun).

It saddens me greatly that same-sex marriage is an issue at all. I think there are better things our government could spend time on. What two consenting adults do on their own shouldn't matter.

But hey, I'm only an alien-human hybrid. What do I know?
