Rejected by town, Kansan returns the favor

More fall-out from the recent anti-gay marriage vote in Kansas. Read this impassioned open letter, more regretful than bitter, that also includes some of the best "protection of marriage" suggestions I've seen:

Marriage in the Kansas shall consist of a union between one man and one or more women.

• Marriage shall not impede a man's right to take concubines in addition to his wife or wives.
• A marriage shall be considered valid only if the wife is a virgin. If the wife is not a virgin, she shall be executed by public stoning.
• Marriage of a believer and a non-believer shall be forbidden.
• Since marriage is for life, neither this Constitution nor the constitution of any State, nor state or federal law, shall be construed to permit divorce.
• If a married man dies without children, his brother shall marry the widow. If he refuses to marry his brother's widow or deliberately does not give her children, he shall pay a fine of one shoe and be otherwise punished in a manner to be determined by law.
  

This man has cut his home town out of his will and shut down the world-class website he built for it. Makes me feel better about our decision to take the route through Nebraska, rather than Kansas, on our way back to Boston next week.
