I am sitting at a truckstop in Hayward, Idaho, halfway between P-town
and Twin Falls. I am thinking just what Idaho is, and what it is
really made of. Is it this? Is it made of glass flowers 50% off or
ceramic cowboy boots and Betty Boop figurines? Is it dirty trucks and
grey landscapes? Usually I would disagree. I had a great weekend
filled with good news about the world's improvements stories of warm
fuzzies and charitable people . Then using our great technology while
at the truck stop, I got an e-mai that put me back in fighting mode.

Its a sick sad world when the group that calls itself the Idaho Human
Right Comission doesn't do anything about human rights in this state.

The movie "Milk" last night showed how 30 years ago, before I was even
born, people believed that protecting human beings from being
discriminated against and being denied housing or stable employment
just for the perception of being gay, was an important issue.

Here we are in Idaho, 30 years later and the Human Right Comission
won't do a thing about the discrimination that has been going on for
30 years.

Sick, sick, sick. And the state wonders why there is a "brain drain"
in Idaho. The IHRC is an example of just where they need a little
brain these days.

*le sigh*
