I myself am not gay. But I do deeply empathize with the frustration gay Americans must feel when they’re told they they can’t have the same rights as “straight” Americans.
I also don’t have cable, or watch MSNBC. But came across Keith Olbermann’s commentary on Proposition 8. And his words, so well spoken, captivated me, and I needed to explore more.
So I found myself surfing the Web, jumping from site to site, tracking down ranom bits of information. And I realized, I was channel surfing. Here’s the trail of my web surfing:
- Friend posted YouTube video on Facebook (I watched embedded in F-book)
- I commented on her post
- I Googled for “Omar Khayyám” referenced at the end of the video
- Read Wikipedia entry on Khayyam
- Googled for “book of love and Khayyam”
- Read a WikiSource page with the full Rubaiyat
- Also found a transcript of MSNBC’s site of Olbermann’s commentary
- And 6936 Diggs for Olbermann’s video on the MSNBC site
- Googled for “Clarence Darrow”
- Visited a University of MKC site about Darrow”
How wonderfully has the day gone by!
If only when the stars come we could die,
And morning find us gathered to our dreams,–
Two happy solemn faces, and the sky.
