Pharyngula: I hear wedding bells…:

Now to celebrate, I don't expect you all to run out and marry a same-sex partner — I think my wife would object, and I'm really not in the market — but wouldn't you know it? The media is responding to this news with…stupid internet polls! How else can they possibly trivialize an important court decision, after all?

It would be nice if the media actually got around to spending more time researching and informing people about the facts than constantly asking and reporting their opinions about something that the people don't actually know any real facts about...

your obviously an intelectual illitist who hates democracy. democracy isn't about ideas, it's about the things that people think.

it's easier to care what people think if you already know that they know what they're talking about.

it's much harder when you KNOW they have no idea what they're talking about.

it always makes me a little depressed when i remember that the popular election, in the end, is going to come down to a numbers game. all of us freaks and know-it-alls really need to stop reading so much and beef up our population. we're in dangerous range of an Idiocracy Scenario.
