While there is no excuse for what he did, I can't help but feel that it's a shame that things on both sides were so ugly. Leonard's exactly right that it's bitter and divisive, and I can't feel any joy when it grows. Maybe some day we'll be able to have a discussion about this without things getting so nasty and brutal. The way things are now sure isn't working.Zev Valancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10239062791827527067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36864475.post-19433142562327436452008-11-13T14:13:00.000-05:002008-11-13T14:13:00.000-05:00Nobody forced Eckern to resign; but he did anyway....Nobody forced Eckern to resign; but he did anyway. <BR/><BR/>Would these right wing nutjobs still be supporting him if the $1000 had gone toward banning inter-racial marriage? Or in support of lowering the consent age of marriage to 10? <BR/><BR/>Oh - never mind. Brigham Young had 28 wives; LGBTQ people just want the right to marry ONE. <BR/><BR/>This country is filled with closed-minded hypocrites. Eckern is one of many. He stabbed his workforce in the back by supporting this hateful cause financially (instead of in the privacy of a voting booth) and karma has now come back to get him.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
