QotD: Make it Count
It's Election Day! How was your voting experience?
I'm a permanent absentee, so I filled out my ballot last night and hand-delivered it today while Yod was getting his vote on. I wish I had photocopied my ballot before I filled it out. I took way too much pleasure voting No on Prop 8 (the one that enforces hypocritical Puritan laws on homosexual couples by taking away their right to enter into a legal contract with one another called "marriage") and wish I could've just sat there tonight filling in the NO circle over and over.
There were no lines at the polling place, which, in Sacto, tends to be at some retirement home/"adult living complex". I'm nervous for the results to come out. Hopefully the rest of America isn't as crappy as Yod assumes they will be...

And keep in mind, Prop 8 doesn't just take away those rights - it make discrimination the LAW. Though, if it passes, it just means we start the fight all over again. I hope I don't have to take a 3rd trip down that road - but I will if Californians can't pull their heads out of their rears!
I looked it up a few days ago and found I've been fighting this since early 1991 - when AB101, ensuring equal rights, was vetoed by the Governor, after he said he'd sign it. 17 years. But I still stay it will become fully legal - in the entire US - in my lifetime!
