WARNING: very opinionated blog post ahead......
i generally don't talk politics or religion, when i can help it, for reasons i don't feel like explaining right now.. but...
--so glad we voted in Obama.. but what's with Orange county voting for Mccain?? Guess i shouldn't be surprised??? but hellllloooooo Ohio voted Obama... OC is way behind in their thinking...
--High speed rail eh?? don't we already have a system to go from LA to San Fran? do we need to spend a sh*tload more for another one, when there are other things we could be spending our money on and our economy is sh*t right now??
--No on prop 4.. THANK YOU!! Glad we agree on 2 things...
--.. OK the big one.. Prop 8... WHAT UP HOMOPHOBES IN CALIFORNIA????? I dont understand this at all.. ugh, why do people think they're better than others (or deserve anything more) just because of their sexual orientation... WTF seriously.. WHAT THE FUCK?? ... UGH... maybe you're all the ones who voted for Bush 4 years ago??? THANKS a big one! *sigh*
(More stats: there are filters on the link below, showing who voted for bush in 2004.. turns out IT *IS* ALL YOU GUYS who are opposed to gay marriage who are BUSH fans..)... see a pattern here?? very LAME.... Sorry, but i think you're all *ssh*les...
More stats: looks like more counties with less than 10% with bachelors degrees voted YES on prop 8
more counties with more than 15% with bachelors degrees voted NO on prop 8

Yeah, Obama being elected with a strong Democratic House and Senate to enact his agenda was awesome. Prop 8 was hugely disappointing: this is the civil rights issue of our time. The good thing is that it didn't pass by much, people under the age of 30 voted overwhelmingly against it and there are valid legal challenges (you need a state legislative vote or constitutional convention to drastically revise the state constitution) so by one means or another hopefully this won't be the law for long.
