A huge disappointment

the passage of measure 8 in california makes me very angry my absentee ballot didn't arrive in the mail in time for me to vote.  (i only used a federal write in ballot for president).  anyway, can we all just step back a minute and realize what a mistake we made.

prop 22 was passed (also banning gay marriage) awhile back and then the california supreme court overturned it saying it was unconstitutional because the California constitution requires that everyone is treated equal.

so brilliantly someone decided to amend the constitution so everyone ISN'T treated equally. so we let a majority vote decide that the minority can't be treated equally....isn't that what equal protection under the law is supposed to protect against?

we amended the constitution so we could treat people unequally.  really?  that struck us as a good idea?  unbelieveable.

can i also just point out that i can't give students a tylenol in class but we are passing laws that allow them to get abortions without informing their parents....that seems weird.  although, admittedly, someone mentioned to me "what if the girl is pregnant by incest or rape and they don't want to tell their parents for fear of further abuse?"  I hadn't thought of that, but i'm still not convinced.
