Jaded Times

but the answer is NO!

Tip: I’m offering up my personal experience here so as to avoid this happening to you in the future. On future Voting Days I wouldn’t advise listening to the results of 2.87% of the precincts reporting, and then leaving right away to go see a show. Sure, it was a show you wouldn’t have gone to if it were not in celebration of a friend’s birthday, but you still want to be in a “fun up sort of mood”. You may not dance as much as you would have ( it was a dance if you feel like it type show), and your friend, he’ll dance a lot more than you and he won’t know what’s occasionally flashing through your head, that your spending energy chasing away those should I just leave this country thoughts. Then again you my not be someone inclined to have your emotions shift into concern gear at the slightest of retuns, that would be wise; I mean the radio host did warn you after all.

We shall see how conciliaratory things actually get, for now here are some comments from Tuesday night:

California Teachers Assn. President Barbara Kerr told several hundred activists in the ballroom: “This governor wasted $50 million, and he does not have the courage to apologize to all of you for the trash he talked about you. He doesn’t have the courage to say he was wrong, that we’re the real heroes of California.”

Exciting to see that Proposition 73 went down as well, as that one seemed to be a possible pass. Actress Mimi Rogers offered her perspective on this measure in a radio interview yesterday (11/8) when she said this would be a step in a direction that would lead to “Compulsory Reproduction”. It’s hard to believe she’s Tom Cruise’s ex-wife (not that I think she wishes to be identified that way) . 73 was the so-called Parental Notification Act, but it also had another agenda beyond that:

The measure also contained a provision that would have defined abortion as an act that causes “the death of the unborn child, a child conceived but not yet born,” deviating from more neutral language used in similar statutes elsewhere.

(I’m a little late in getting this completed.) On the radio Thursday, I heard a Nurse’s response, which was to the effect that now that the sham election was over we need to get down to real business, which includes Universal Healthcare, clean money election so never again will both sides money have to spend such a ridiculous amount of money. I wish I had her exact words because it was awesome, clearly expressed and included specific plans. I’m with the nurses.
