What makes it even worse is that I used to work for the Virginia General Assembly. There are many good men and women down there, but it would seem that the crackpots now outnumber them. Why do we keep electing these people?
Oh, and the wonderful state government that I now work for is pushing for legislation that medical professionals should be able to refuse to care for someone on moral grounds. Prohibited in the bill is discrimination of a patient by age, gender, race or religion. But not sexual orientation. So a doctor could refuse to treat a gay or lesbian person on moral grounds. Nice.
