... it is good to see that there are still average, everyday people who WILL take a stand against injustice:

Awww, that's so sweet. <3

I am not surprised that more people were willing to speak up in Texas, though I am guessing it has less to do with politics and region than community size: in smaller communities, people are more likely to intervene and less likely to feel it's none of their business. I am not saying this makes small communities better -- the "none of my business" attitude arises out of a respect for people's privacy, because in larger communities it's harder to get privacy naturally.

In any case, it was still very cool. Although the gay-bashing waitress was awfully hard to watch. :(

Yeah, I rather agree with the big city/small town dichotomy in involvement. In major metropolitan areas, you have to get rather used to minding your own business.

As for the waitress, I have to give that actress props: that couldn't have been an easy role for her to play, especially in the face of all that adversity. Kudos to her!
