Open Letters Re: Ballot Measures
Posted in Politics on 11/05/2008 11:49 pm by enjanerdSo, I thought Election Day 2008 ending would leave me with more free time. It probably will… but until everything gets tallied, it looks like I’m just going to keep obsessing. Still watching as results continue to come in for Washington, Oregon, North Carolina, Missouri, and Georgia. Keeping a closer eye on the Senate races that still haven’t been called yet (Alaska — you continue to surprise me. And not so much in the good way.). Finding all kind of exit poll stats to pore over. And, of course, keeping up with the ballot measures for each state.

Dear California,
What’s up with you? I thought you were supposed to be the future of this country. I thought you set the example that the rest of us eventually caught up to.
But, really? You’re going to join Arizona and Florida and write discrimination into your constitution? I can understand them doing that. I wasn’t even surprised when they passed overwhelmingly.
I really thought you’d make it ok. And, in a way, you have. Well, you will.
Good job to all my friends out in California and the many, many volunteers who tried to reject Prop. 8. Thanks to the 61% of the youth vote who voted No on picking a new scapegoat.
CNN’s holographic technology brought us ever closer to the future. And as I’ve been saying more and more often recently: The future is awesome. So, just wait. It’ll be the future soon.
Still Disappointed,
Enjanerd

Thank you.

Dear Michigan,
You are such a goofball. I hope marijuana gets legalized soon so we can tax the bejeezus out of it. But until then, just be responsible. The medical profession has enough issues without more people trying to scam drugs out of it.
Best of luck,
Enjanerd
