		<description>Things I don&#039;t understand...

Why people have such a problem with gay rights.
Why Colbert doesn&#039;t make me laugh. I get his stuff - intellectually it adds up and yet for some reason, the most I usually get is a chuckle. 
Oh and how the heck a pointy needle moving over a piece of plastic can produce sound/music. I get CDs - audio data is digitally encoded and read back by a laser. But records? It&#039;s just magic to me.

Seriously though, why not just live &amp; let live? I really don&#039;t care to see two guys kissing or whatever - so on a sort of visceral level, I&#039;ll admit to understanding that part. But I just don&#039;t understand taking the leap from, &quot;I personally don&#039;t care for it&quot; to &quot;I should tell others how to live.&quot; I&#039;ll even cut religions &amp; churches some slack - within the practices of their faith I think they should have a right to determine what is &amp; isn&#039;t...kosher (misguided though they are). But beyond that, from a societal perspective - in terms of the rights of citizens they should have no say. It&#039;s a matter of rights and fundamental fairness and those things are infinitely more important than personal preference. Like I said, live &amp; let live.</description>
