People in Maine had the ability to walk into a voting booth and cast a vote on someone else's marriage.
When you put it that way it seems kind of strange. Of all people, Jesse Ventura former wrestler former Governor of Minnesota said it best. You can't put peoples rights up for a vote, if you did we would still have slavery in certain parts of the country.
People went into the voting booth yesterday and passed judgement on people they don't know and they won't meet. They voted to tell their neighbor what they could and couldn't do and with whom they could and couldn't do it with.
Over the last nine months there has been so much hyperventilating over Obama being a fascist socialist tyrant taking away our freedoms and our future. What was yesterday's vote about if not about the freedom to tell the person you love that you want to be together forever and you want the world to know.
There is much to discuss about what all the other races mean, but no other question will have as direct of an impact as yesterday's vote in Maine.
