returns of the day

Happy anniversary, Brown v. Board of Education!

And congratulations, a bunch of people I don't know in Massachusetts!

Funny how people are still trying to take rights away today.

Yeah. A depressing tie-in: Protesters drove to Cambridge from Topeka, home of Brown and the Board of Education, to complain.
"If they're going to allow this, then why not incest?" asked Ben Phelps (http://www.guardian.co.uk/gayrights/story/0,12592,1219164,00.html) of Topeka, Kansas. "Why not have people marry animals? Why not polygamy?"
Pro-incest, pro-bestiality, pro-polygamy activist Ben Phelps appears to be the grandson of bigot extraordinaire Fred Phelps (http://www.adl.org/special_reports/wbc/default.asp).
