I was annoyed enough that they were making the intersection such a cluster that if No on 8 were standing in the road blocking traffic, I would have most likely reported it like I did - people, including kids are impeeding the flow of traffic.

That intersection is bad enough at 5pm, it doesn't need idiots in the street blocking traffic to make it worse.

Standing on streetcorners is fine, blocking traffic not so much.

Then they circled and started writing again.

(Disneyphile is there today and called to share this info)

Here's an example of what caused massive disruption and upset for most guests and CMs around me:



I already can't stand the "Yes on 8" bigots. But, today, they crossed the line to damn near pure hatred by me for bringing their ****ing hatred to the skies over Disneyland. I don't think any political **** belongs in Disneyland, let alone political **** that spouts such horrible messages such as this lowly crap. It's a good thing I didn't see any sign-carriers on my drive home, because it would have taken everything to hold me back from driving over to them and ripping their ****ing heads off. (Yeah, it takes a lot to get me this pissed, and I'm pissed.)

However, from what I could see, most guests and CMs were very upset over it, so hopefully that will be a sign that this proposition won't pass.

My sister even brought up a good point - she works with severely handicapped children who are results of extreme abuse in "traditional" marriages who were conceived and not wanted or not planned. She deals with kids with smashed-in heads, etc., because the "traditional spouse" chose to repeatedly slam them against a wall or floor. She said that with gay marriages, there is no chance for an unwanted or unplanned child, and that she trusts gays more than "traditional" marriages because of that.

So, I had an idea and I'm giving it a whirl over at Facebook.
I'm sending people messages to see if they will (for just tonight and tomorrow) change their Profile Pictures to this:



I figured it's worth a shot. Everyone sees the Profile Pic. It goes everywhere.

Visibility! United front! No on 8!

:)

DP- I'm sorry. That's awful. I agree that politics is not well suited to Disney.

One more day.

Disneyphile 11-03-2008 08:22 PM

I hope they at least lost some "yes" votes because of it. It's just so beyond tacky.

BarTopDancer 11-03-2008 08:34 PM

Done.

I would, but I am not in Facebook, LiveJournal, or any other on line presence.

Sorry :(

Gemini Cricket 11-03-2008 10:24 PM

16 people so far did it.
I am all teary-eyed.
:) :blush:

I haven't seen that kind of skywriting before. Is it essentially a dot matrix printer out the back of the plane?
