    The language proposition is unnecessary. We are humans, we should communicate how we need to. We are not losing identity. Can anybody say LPGA?

    yeah i'm really worried about amendment 1. people are going to vote for that, and i think it's unconstitutional.

    I'm not really too worried because I think the fact that there will likely be a very high liberal turnout would strike it down. I just don't see the point in it. I could understand if this were Germany and we wanted to use German, but how can this possibly help Americans? I'll admit, and will probably be blacklisted here, but I tend to lean right on a lot of issues and I had no problem voting against it. Oh, and it is fucking awesome to vote in a town of 247 people, it took five minutes. Eat that line-sitters. Especially those of you having to deal with the book switch-ups.

    Oddly enough I was listening to a program on KKFI and this woman brought up an issue that this was started by a Latino gentleman. weird? this is rediculous, how many civic meetings do you attend in the African Part of the city, or in the Latino rich Westside community? Its racist vote no!
