As we were out for a walk in the gale-forced winds this afternoon, we did not, I'll have you know, steal, mar, or otherwise corrupt the YES ON 8 sign in the yard down the street.

It was a really tough call, though.
There are a couple of McCain signs around here, but not many. I have no problem with them. I totally support anyone's right to choose the candidate who best reflects their political views. (Yes, those political views may somehow be dangerous to me. I don't like it, but they're entitled. Democracy and all that.)
The Yes on 8 sign, though, it feels different. That sign is about denying me rights. It's hard to adopt the perspective that the sign is FOR some ideal, instead of AGAINST me. Very hard.
But we left it alone. Because we're better than that.
We also kept our hands off the John Edwards '08 sign that recently appeared down the block from the Yes On 8 sign. Because really, that's just funny.
