Right to choose?

In a week when, among tragedies and wars, we have had such news items as these:

• Egypt jails 'gay wedding video' men; and
• Russian memorial to Steve Jobs dismantled after Apple CEO comes out as gay

...so the American "mid-term" elections have seen an influx of assorted right-wing homophobes and loonies win power across the "Land of the Free", including several (not all) of these delightful individuals:

• American anti-gay candidates

This song from the Fun Boy Three seems appropriate:

Fun Boy Three - The Lunatics Have Taken Over the Asylum

The lunatics have taken over the asylum, take away my right to choose
The lunatics have taken over the asylum, take away my point of view
The lunatics have taken over the asylum
The lunatics have taken over the asylum, take away my dignity,
Take these things away from me
The lunatics have taken over the asylum
The lunatics have taken over the asylum, take away my family,
Take away the right to speak
The lunatics have taken over the asylum take away my point of view,
Take away my right to choose

Indeed.

US Republicans win control of the Senate.
