That's pretty mean, rick.
The article you linked is
very interesting, though. Among the findings reported:
Blacks, widely reported to have voted 70 percent in favor in rescinding marriage rights for gay and lesbian families, were shown in the poll, conducted by the Public Policy Institute of California, to be markedly less supportive of the amendment than originally believed.
And apropos to your comment:
Baldassare was uncertain as to why education and income differences would have factored into the picture as decisively as they did, but he did offer an opinion.
"It has to do with exposure to different ideas.
"It’s perceptions about lifestyle differences, tolerance for differences, broader view of social trends and issues--all those things tend to come with more education."
Not everyone who lacks a college education is a "poor dumbf#ck". The study also showed a much larger percentage of Latinos favored Prop 8 than originally reported - another population with less
access to higher education, for a variety of reasons.
Bottom line: the sooner we elect a President like Dennis Kucinich, who alone among candidates campaigned on a promise to make college education accessible to all young people, the sooner discrimination like that perpetuated by Prop 8 will end.
