A Prop 8 challenge for swankers - Page 3

"It is always disheartening to see a Yes on 8 commercial. But remember, no matter how loud they are or how many signs they have, they are not on the side of what is right. Their children and their children's children will realize how wrong they were on this issue and their legacy will become one of intolerance and hypocrisy. On that, I can be certain."

So true, Gemini Cricket. You sound like a very wise person.

Frankly I think the new No on 8 ad isn't all that convincing.

The yes on 8 ads are all into alarming people and they need to address the fallacies that the ads portray in order to "fight back".

I think the people that are bent on voting Yes don't care about people being treated equally under the law and those ads won't have any impact. They want to vote yet because the Yes on 8 ads have tricked them into thinking all sorts of terrible things will happen.

Where can I get No on 8 yard signs? I just need a couple, but I want them to be highly visible.

Thank you. But I don't think I would get them in time to make a difference. I was hoping I could find some place in the OC that I could swing by and pick them up.

Perhaps one of the democratic party offices have 'em. The one I know of is on Chapman by our place, but there are others scattered around.

Good idea. I will check there.

My friend is working the phone banks Thursday. I will ask and see if he can pick some stuff up if you'll be in the area before the election.

Ugh, I'm finding myself having such an angry reaction to the Yes On 8 folks. Today I was in a store and the fvcking KoC ad came played on the radio station that was tuned in. I had an urge to find and smash the radio.

Yesterday I drove past a bunch of people waving Yes On 8 signs, some with pictures of a mom and dad hugging and kissing their sweet innocent child. I sat at a red light across from them for a while, and by the time it turned green and I could pass them, I had to stop myself from rolling down the window and shouting horrible things at them.

Frustratingly, once I got past them and calmed down, all I wanted to do is go back and talk to them reasonably, but I know that I'd just get angry again if I tried and it would not turn out well.

Sigh. I don't respond well to fear and hate.

I'm finding myself doing the same thing.

I saw some No on 8 people out with handmade signs. I'm really tempted to do that one day, after work before the election.

I also think that I'm going to end up ending a few friendships over this, I don't think I can be friends with people who think it's ok to take away rights.
