I was wrong and I should have known better

Before the weekend, I argued that the Connecticut gay marriage decision was a good one in principal, its timing was bad because of its proximity to the national elections. However, the same thing happened two years ago when New Jersey's decision came out, and the only people who cared were the chatterers on cable tv. Today's economic crisis is too big to be overshadow by this type of issue. So congratulations Connecticut - you have joined the modern world.
