Crazy guy goes on hunger strike to stop gay marriage

[url=http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/01/03/utah-hunger-strike-gay-marriage_n_4537434.html?utm_hp_ref=mostpopular]Well, goodbye then.[/url] [quote]It seems like things may have reached a whole new level of crazy in Utah. Trestin Meacham, a 35-year-old Utah man, is allegedly refusing to eat anything until the state nullifies its recent decision to allow same-sex couples to get married. At the time the above video was released, Meacham had reportedly gone 12 days without food -- surviving only on water and an occasional vitamin -- and has lost 25 pounds. “I cannot stand by and do nothing while this evil takes root in my home," the 35-year-old reportedly wrote on his blog. "Some things in life are worth sacrificing one’s health and even life if necessary. I am but a man, and do not have the money and power to make any noticeable influence in our corrupt system. Nevertheless, I can do something that people in power cannot ignore."[/quote] Isn't going on a strike the definition of "stand by and do nothing"?

    It amazes me that ignorance and religious fanaticism alone can bring people to do such things. Plus, y'know, separation of church and state has been in the constitution for like forever so good thing same-sex marriage is good to go now.
