Yesterday I drove past a bunch of people waving Yes On 8 signs, some with pictures of a mom and dad hugging and kissing their sweet innocent child. I sat at a red light across from them for a while, and by the time it turned green and I could pass them, I had to stop myself from rolling down the window and shouting horrible things at them.

Frustratingly, once I got past them and calmed down, all I wanted to do is go back and talk to them reasonably, but I know that I'd just get angry again if I tried and it would not turn out well.

Sigh. I don't respond well to fear and hate.

I'm finding myself doing the same thing.

I saw some No on 8 people out with handmade signs. I'm really tempted to do that one day, after work before the election.

I also think that I'm going to end up ending a few friendships over this, I don't think I can be friends with people who think it's ok to take away rights.
