I just want to make sure you know that I'm not actually angry that Prop 2 passed. If I was a California voter, I would have voted against it, and been out-voted by a considerable margin, and got on with my life. I would be concerned about what it would do to already-rising food costs, but enough people have clearly taken this into consideration and decided that they can afford it, so that's fine. I like animals a lot and want them to be happy. That's not why I'm angry at all.

I am glad, however, to see that it doesn't seem like you'll be defriending me over this. There've been times over the last couple days when I've seriously considered taking people off my flist for tickling my annoyance, but that seems like an immature reaction in the face of other people being able to deal and move on.
