I don't have the time to get into this in any detail, as I am about to catch a plane. And to quickly throw something up would be unfair. But I wanted to leave a space where people can discuss it if they like. And here it is...

A beautiful night for America... but here in California, we showed that bias and fear are still well within our grasp. The "gay marriage ban" passed by about 5 percent. I do think that under Obama we will see legislation to make civil unions a national right. But still... the smarmy lies used...
