Step Back, Step Forward

If passed, Proposition 2 would be the 434th Amendment to the Texas Constitution. If passed, Texas would become the 19th state to amend it's constitution to ban gay marriages.
That, says The Economist, is a step backward, to the time when the constitution banned idiots and lunatics.
Banning idiots and lunatics...might make the Texas Legislature a lonely place.

I wish I could claim this line as my own --
If you took all the lunatics and idiots out of the Texas Legislature, it wouldn't be a representative body any more.
I'm not sure who said it, but it's pretty apropos in this case.
