Dereliction of duty
I am a devotee of Jim Morin’s political cartoons, but he shouldn’t cast all of Kentucky as anti-gay. His Sept. 2 cartoon implies the state is of one mind on gay marriage. Not so. Ask folks in Lexington, Louisville and (my favorite) Mousie. Not everyone should be cast as a bigot for the beliefs of a county clerk in Rowan County, the home of a University and surrounded by beautiful foothills of the Appalachian Mountains.
She is entitled to her belief, but not to her dereliction of duty.
