26. Well good luck with that.
But anytime you turn over any movement to anger the results are always disappointing.
History will bear this out if you look at any of the anti war or civil rights movements of the 60s like the SDS or black panthers to name a few.
When the anger takes over it runs off the ones that are not in it to satisfy their anger but to achieve a goal...they just feel like this is getting too weird and walk away from it.
But that was what Prop 8 was all about was it not? Too stir up anger on both sides. And the republicans are masters at doing that.
If we fail to learn the lessons of history we are doomed to repeat them.
