Worse than terrorists

I hadn't wanted to bother writing about Sally Kern, an Oklahoma legislator who thought she was off-mike and among friends when she spouted off about "homosexuals are worse than terrorists." Same old story from yet another mouth. But I changed my mind when a high school senior named Tucker wrote a letter to Kern describing how he lost his mother in the bombing of the Oklahoma City Federal Building at the age of 5. The bomber was not gay or Muslim, but Christian. Kern has no clue what she is talking about and her blathering will lead to more deaths. Alas, he was barred from delivering the letter to Kern by hand. Tucker is remarkably articulate and passionate for a high school senior. Well worth the read.
