The shallowness of "change"

Obama is the change agent. People want change. California, overwhelmingly democrat, as expected went to Obama.

So how in the world did California's Proposition 8 pass? What kind of democrats are they? Where is the change? If it's "As goes California, so goes the nation" as so many people claim, then there really isn't going to be change.

Denying same-sex couples the right to marry is a ridiculous. It's unconstitutional on so many levels (equal rights, equal protection, etc, etc). And plain stupid from a tax revenue standpoint -- married couples pay higher taxes (although I'm not sure how much California itself would see of this).

It just goes to show how shallow this change is. People will realize it soon.
