Mapping social value space

[mattbell]

California Proposition 2, which provides for adequate space for farm animals to stretch their limbs and turn around, is widely expected to pass.
California Proposition 8, which prevents new gay marriages and dissolves all the existing ones,  is likely to pass, albeit by a slim margin.

This means that there's a sizable contingent of people who are voting yes on both 2 and 8.  Who are these people?  I want to know what goes on in their brains to allow for such uneven compassion.  "Oh, we must do something about those poor farm animals, but I don't want those gay people to marry the ones they love, that's just sick."

LOL. Thanks for making me smile.

There's a certain point with politics this close to elections where all I can do is try to make myself laugh at how absurd some things are. And this year, that point started like 3 MONTHS ago.
