Elections

OK, first off I would like to state my opinion on elections.  I DON'T CARE WHO OR HOW YOU VOTE, AS LONG AS YOU TAKE THE RESPONSIBILITY SERIOUSLY AND ACTUALLY VOTE.

Now that I have that out of the way...

I would encourage a Yes vote on Prop 30, for multiple reasons.  But I will simply state this, if you vote yes and it passes, I get my job back at one of my jobs.

The one proposition that I would really like to talk about here is Prop 35.  I would first state that I am totally against Human Trafficking.  However, this prop in my opinion is not written correctly.  According to this proposition 

"290.024. For purposes of this chapter, the following terms apply:(a) “Internet service provider” means a business, organization, or other entity providing a computer and communications facility directly to consumers through which a person may obtain access to the Internet. An Internet service provider does not include a business, organization, or other entity that provides only telecommunications services, cable services, or video services, or any system operated or services offered by a library or educational institution.(b) “Internet identifier” means an electronic mail address, user name, screen name, or similar identifier used for the purpose of Internet forum discussions, Internet chat room discussions, instant messaging, social networking, or similar Internet communication."Page 104 of California State voter information guide

Now that everyone knows where I'm going on this.  I am all for strengthening the law, but hold on here.  First, if a person is convicted of being a sexual predator their lives are over.  No smart business will hire that person for fear of it coming out in the press and the public backlash.  Second, is it really necessary to follow what the convicted person does on say a family website?  Yeah, chat rooms that they could possibly find a new victim, I have no problem with it.  But with the way this law is written, you could have people talking to family members that have no intent on doing anything wrong and still be investigated.

I was going to say that there is the other side of the issue of "Commercial sex acts" which I believe would cover prostitutes.  I don't know, but I'm sure that many of the "pros" that are out there are there on their own volition.  Thankfully, that portion of the act has been stricken from the California voter guide, so I would assume (and when dealing with government it truly is make an ass out of u and me) it is no longer part of the law.

I have now stated my peace, thanks for reading.  I would like to close by restating my overall theory, if you are registered and can vote, DO IT.  If you don't vote you can't complain about the country and where the elected officials are taking us, because you fucked up and didn't vote!
