So much for Kinky

My wife and I are both childfree, meaning we don't have children, nor do we want them. Kinky Friedman's suggested health care reforms had me worried. People without children, quite frankly, got screwed. We were supposed to bear the brunt of the cost and get the least benefits. This bothered me, some, but I was willing to overlook it considering I agreed with him on most other things.

As of today, it is a flaw I can no longer overlook. A friend of mine sent an e-mail to him over this health policy. Now, it was from out of state, and, how shall we say, not very politely worded.

An appropriate response would've been explaining how his policy was fair, or how it is Constitutional, or how it doesn't violate any of the Federal laws banning discrimination based on family status. Or, considering the tone and the fact that it was from out of state, no response at all.

But no, the response didn't fall into any of those. It was a very short, very succinct e-mail, consisting of two words. "fuck off". Sorry, that is not a responsible answer, and shows an even greater disrespect for my demographic than I imagined. Kinky just waved goodbye to my vote.
