Won't somebody please think of the children!

With the California election less than a day away i am flabbergasted by the amount of media coverage and propaganda surrounding this important event. I cant open my mailbox, watch a t.v. show, or listen to my favorite radio station without being inundated with some debate about the controversial propositions on the ballot. ACTUALLY, not really. In fact, quite the opposite. I have in all truth only caught one commercial where a "teacher" is pleading for the children, begging us to vote yes on Prop 1A and 1B. As if either proposition had anything remotely to do with the other. I think at one point she actually exclaims, "wont someone think of the children!" Which is a serious pile of soft smelly beer shits! Prop 1A has absolutely nothing to do with the children! it has everything to do with a a mystical "rainy day fund" that in all actuality is a Slush Fund. This BITCH will have us believe that in order to help the children we need to vote YES on 1A and 1B. But if we really care about the children, we will only VOTE YES on 1B and NO on 1D, the only two propositions which actually have something to do with children.
I am completely disgusted and disappointed with our display of civic duty. From the corporate news level, the grassroots level, and personal neighbor to neighbor level. This apathy born from the same community that not 7 months ago was wall to wall ape shit about our electoral process. Look, listen, Its cool we voted for a president, I'm glad Barack is that president, and I'm glad that a sound active campaign brought that to fruition. But what the FUCK CALIFORNIA!?! This election tomorrow has EVERYTHING to do with our local government. This is shit we can tangibly control. I cant tell you how to vote: (NO ON 1A, 1C, 1D, YES ON 1B, 1E, and 1F.) But i can urge you to vote. AND i know you all are already registered because you voted for Barack, so i know you are still eligible. The future of the Golden State's budget lies in your hands dude. Don't fuck this up!
