| so i've been doing some research, since i'm voting tomorrow. everyone has been in an uproar about proposal 2 and i really don't understand why. everything i've read said that it's simply banning preferential discrimination in affirmative action. which is what i've always been about. the best person for the job should get the job. if i were running a business, that's the only kind of decision that would make sense. but i've run into it a lot, especially with small-time politics, where somebody does somebody else a favor and gets a leg up. it's a fine line, and is extremely subjective, but it's still a line. so, i don't see what the problem is. equal rights should be equal. if the minority becomes the majority (look at goth kids...) nothing changes but the orientation of the situation. the situation is still there. the only concern i have is that it would weigh down the court system with all sorts of cases about what is preferential treatment and such. when really, the system could be left as is, and rely primarily on the faith that there are still good people in the world. in the long run, it's not really that big of a deal though. that's pretty much all i had. i'm far more interested in the proposal for hunting mourning doves. maybe that's because killing things excites me or something. |

phil-himself | 11-07-06 2:02am the people that are opposed to prop 2 like to twist things around and make it seem like it abolishes a lot of things that it doesn't
