I Approve of this Message

Election Day is this Tuesday - and BOY am I excited! Two more days until voting day! Two more days til I won't have to be subjected to those stupid ads for all the Propositions.

I don't blog about politics, but will someone explain to me whose brilliant idea it was to develop the Proposition system? Someone decided, "You know what? Instead of having laws written and voted on by lawmakers who'll lose their jobs if they're influenced by money? Let's have laws written by guys with clipboards who stand in front of Target - and then have them voted on by people who are influenced by millions of bucks in advertising!"

I know I know. I'm being cynical. Clearly the Proposition system puts the power of government back in the hands of the people. But I've been voting long enough to know how the Proposition system works. If the Alternative-Teen Tobacco Abortion Energy Notification-Tax Bond Measure Proposition passes on Tuesday night, Wednesday morning it's going to be sued to be blocked. Then it'll get tied up in the courts for years, wasting time and money, and then the law will be declared unconstitutional. And someone like me will snap and beat up that guy in front of Target with his own clipboard. "You can have my signature... written in YOUR BLOOD!"

See you in the voting booth on Tuesday. Or in front of Target. One or the other.
