Proposition 54

I've posted before my thoughts on Proposition 54 that is on Californias ticket to end color blindness. Negrophile has posted part of the last governatorial debate where the candidates give their view.

Camejo claims that Latino pays higher tax rates, and if Propositon 54 went into effect, we would never know that, so the government should keep tracking this. Why Camejo? So the government knows who to tax more? Please.

Huffington wants Proposition 54 not to pass so if any potential presidential candidates gets into Yale on Daddy's name, we know. Excuse me...that is nepotism. The same thing it would be if let's say the same happened for Colin Powell and a son. Would it be racism then? I think not.

The Terminator...I have no fucking clue what he said. Could someone interpret that ramble for me?

Bustamante was just about as bad...I get the feeling he wants the government to enforce tolerance and embracing. Oh yeah, that will work. Been working for decades right? Can I sign up for the tolerance and embracing committee please? Maybe we can check it on a government form...donate a $1.

McClintock sounds like he is the only one for the Proposition, and was the only one to actually give his own thoughts on the matter. Not hype, not back patting. No brainwashed pat answer. I have no clue who this man is...but he definitely comes out more sane then the others. But it didn't take much.

I wonder if America would be better off if we got rid of politicians.

What makes that hard is that most of these folks are NOT politicians, and we already want to get rid of THEM! And the politicians. The key, then, is to get rid of PEOPLE, especially OTHER people, except for ME, but my analyst gets on my case when I start going on like that.

At least you guys don't live in California (well, I know you don't, Dawn). The recall is like a nightmare that will hopefully end soon. It gives me a headache!

But Prop 54...I don't know where I stand on it. I wish we lived in a colorblind society, but we don't. I don't understand the bill enough, so I don't know what to vote on it. I usually assume that the people who write the bills have ulterior motives, so I never know what to think.

Sometimes I don't think there are any right answers. But I do believe to be a colorblind society we have to quit labeling and segregating. Something the government will never do. Proposition 54 was dead before it hit the printers.
