The only tattoo I've ever been tempted to get is one across my chest that says Do Not Resuscitate.

I've been uncomfortable about our equal marriage vote since it first hit the ballots. I thought it was because I'm so not a fan of marriage or maybe just my lack of comfort voting on issues. (I was raised on the east coast - we elected people to decide issues - out here on the west coast we elect people and then also decide issues - it's a stupid stupid system.)
BUT I think my real objection is exactly what you articulated. It is wrong to put the fate of civil rights of any kind to a popular vote. Wow. I never thought of it that way and now can't figure out why not. Thank you for the insight.
