I hope you are registered to vote. Or will be as soon as you're old enough...
In school they made us study the Puritans because they started our country and shaped what it would be. I thought they were bastards. Looking around the people my parents associated with (I didn't realize what a poor cross section of society they were), I really couldn't see the connection. I've begun to see the connection though in a lot of places and I think there are a lot of bastards in this country.
This is not an issue I care much about, but it is related to many I do care about because the same group of people oppose it for the same reasons. They oppose it because of buzz words like God or family or values, which I would bet they don't even know the first thing about.
There was this children's book I read with this politician in it who was a real bastard, but kept getting re-elected because he ran on the peanut butter platform and nobody wanted to be against peanut butter.

Cynical? Me? Never.
