Atwood, Kansas: On the map

What's The Matter With Kansas? | MetaFilter

This past week, the residents of the small town of Atwood, Kansas voted 984 to 113 to deny gay couples any rights for their relationships (including hospital visitation). Now, the man who set up the town's newspaper website has not only left Atwood, but taken down the website and posted a (mostly) measured response (mirrored) to the town in place of it. Will putting a human face on those being discriminated against ever change the minds of some people, or is one passage in the bible enough for some people to keep justifying their bigoted ways?

It's down now. Only a new "Pride of the Prairie" and New Site Coming Soon logo.

Added a mirror. Looks like someone (the other guy?) in Atwood with a computer finally noticed.

Oh, man, do I feel this guy -- Atwood's 20 minutes from my hometown, and only about 500 people or so smaller.

... And he took down the site himself.

And while I'm piling on replies, I ought to mention that I'm caught up with "House" (bad Chase! very bad Chase!), and that's good, but I watched last night's without recording it, which in retrospect was a poor decision. 'Cause I liked the barking. And the t-shirt.

Brilliant ep. It never stops surprising me. But next week -- Vogler vs. House, to the bitter end. Oh, this is gonna be sweet.
