Grace In Small Things - Part 5

I am posting just this one thing today, because this takes up all 5 spots on the things that graced me today.

I know that Prop 8 passed over two months ago, but this is still an issue and it's one on which I have very strong convictions. I have found it difficult to put into words precisely how disgusted I am that Proposition 8 actually passed, but Keith Olbermann puts it brilliantly.

Quite frankly, I thought America was better than this. I thought we had moved passed this kind of discrimination. We just elected an African-American president for goodness sake! With all the hate and horribleness taking place in the world right now, shouldn't we be striving for peace and tolerance? America is supposed to be the greatest country in the world. What kind of example are we setting?

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

Indeed.

If you're going to take the time to watch this, I ask only that you watch it all the way through and really LISTEN to what he is saying. I am open to all comments, but any containing hate or offensiveness will be deleted.
