On prop-8: good night, and good luck
This is the most touching thing I've listened to in most of my life. And god, I love human hope and decency.
You are asked to stand not on a question of politics, on a question of religion, on a question of gay or straight; you are asked now to ask on a question of love. All you need is stand, and let the tiny ember of love meet its own fate. You don't have to help it. You don't have to applaud it. You don't have to fight for it. Just don't put it out. Just don't extinguish it. Because while it may look like that love is between two people you don't know, you don't understand, maybe you don't want to know, that ember is the love you have for your fellow person. Because this is the only other world we have, the the other guy counts too.
... I wish it were in the hearts of all. So I be written in the book of love, I do not care about that book above. Erase my name or write it as you will. So I be written in the book of love.
Good night, and good luck.
I SWEAR I WILL STOP TALKING ABOUT POLITICS SOON.

I.
I am crying. In a good way.
Thank you, Keith Olbermann. Thank you.

I sure hope one day we'll all look back on this whole issue and frown upon it. Just like with the law that forbid marriage between "white" and "black" people.
