ezs note:  I am SO tired of this "parents know best" bullshit.  Now, as a rule parents do know best  - but only if they have given guidance during school.  I can give you two examples.  One was a dipshit named Wayne.  What terrible thing did his son do -  who was five years old?  He wet the bed.  Another moron beat his son mercilessly for winning at pool against the father.

Oh, but parents know best.

BULLSHIT.

Connecticut's 32nd state Senate district

ezs note: Next Tuesday, voters in Connecticut's 32nd state Senate district will hold a special election to replace Rob Kane. Although I am somewhat reticent to endorse anyone in this race, unless Eric Berthel (R) shows forth ironclad endorsement for transgender people, I would likely encourage you to vote for Greg Cava (D).  (Petitioning candidate Dan Lynch is also running.)

Above all, I urge you to vote.  It's your one chance to directly affect who your state Senator will be.  So, uh, vote!
