“Your kind and the trash should both burn in hell”

By Karl-Thomas Musselman

No, it's not an angry letter or the KKK, it was a note attached to a bag of trash left on the doorstep of Associated Student Government Senator Jeff Moody down at Texas State. Their Student Government has recently passed a resolution against Proposition 2 and Moody was one of 16 who voted in favor of passage (10 opposed the resolution).

Quoted in the article was also a comment that turnout in San Marcos among students had been outstanding (as it has here at UT, we should pass 5000 total early votes today).

San Marcos Daily Record: "It is the perfect platform. We as ASG senators are there as student leaders to represent and protect every student, not just the minority. If we only allow ourselves to debate items that are not controversial and that every single person agrees with whatever the outcome may be, then we might as well disband and not even have a meeting."

Moody said he joined 16 other student senators voting to approve the resolution opposing the amendment. Ten student senators voted against the resolution and one abstained.

As for the bag of trash on his doorstep, Moody didn't report it, and brushes the incident off as childish behavior.

"I have had an extraordinary amount of positive feedback from students, faculty and even community members," he said. "People who play such childish games are not worth my time."

We are now less than 20 hours away from the Ku Klux Klan here in Austin. I will be joining the No Nonsense campaign at 1 pm on the 1st Street Bridge, which will be blocked off for the purpose of their counter demonstration.

Has UT student government passed such a resolution? I'd be pleasantly surprised if they showed that much of a backbone.

That's San MARCOS. And I while I'm at it, it's Gua-da-lu-pe, Man-cha-ca and San Fe-li-pe.
