Election Day

I've never been on such pins and needles, and I actually worked at the Registrar of Voters for 4 years!  I'm a nervous wreck, fearing another 4 years of economic, human rights, and international relations nightmares. Depending on who and what wins, we may be going backwards...sigh.  So please, Vote for Change, Vote for the Future, let's get as far away from the past 8 years as possible.  (I'm assuming we want Peace and Prosperity.)

VOTE NO on PROP. 8!

Some of the most wonderful and upstanding citizens you will ever meet are gay.  They have the right to marry who they choose, as any person.  Damn the Mormons and Knights of Columbus, and the lot of you who unthinkingly follow decades (or centuries) of backward religious dogma and hypocrisy, who feel so superior and yet so threatened that you must destroy equality for other humans.  May a gay or lesbian son or daughter be born into each of your families, so you can feel the responsibility of sticking it to your own children, denying them the right to be the people they choose.  You can proudly tell them you fought against their equality and freedom.  (Of course, you probably have no qualms disowning your own children, because it's more important to follow dogma than support your child.)  May these children rise up against you and show you the error of your beliefs.

I hope 7 o'clock rolls around and it'll be good news, because the prospect of an upset is bringing me down.

Oh, but here's a frightening but entertaining game !
