Spring is here but there is danger in the air.

VT Governor Douglas’s speech yesterday: the medium is the message. Not only did he inform the public that he is going to veto the same-sex marriage bill, but he twisted the knife, telling people that one of the most important issues in their lives, is a mere distraction to the state. Oh, pesky little thing like equal rights.

Besides his egregiously backward and hate-filled beliefs, I was also disturbed by his admission that he is unable to handle balancing a lot of issues. That’s at the top of the list of what the governor and political leaders should be able to do during the session. Second to: listen to the people he represents and ensure liberty and justice for all.

P.S. Gov – “atheist and religious” are not polarities.
