Election results: Obama will be the new president.
I, for one, am very pleased. I am also very happy that Amendement 48 was solidly rejected (I think the numbers were something like 75 percent no…). That was the only Colorado Amendment that I really knew a lot about. 3 A and B were rejected, and I don’t know if that’s good. I urged my Mom to vote yes on them, simply because I want to be a teacher and I think it would be nice if teachers made a little more money. But they didn’t pass, so oh well. I will need to learn more about them.
I’m disappointed with California for passing Proposition 8. I think a couple is suing; I hope it makes it to the Supreme Court. I really would like the Supreme Court to hear the case and decide that gay marriage should be legal. I’m crossing my fingers. If I lived in San Francisco I would have liked to go to the riot that was supposed to be held today. Actually, I highly doubt my mom would let me, but it’s a nice thought…
On the other hand, California DID pass Proposition 2, which will require larger cages for veal, chickens, and pregnant pigs that are raised for food. These animals will actually be able to stand up, turn around fully, and lie down comfortably by 2015. Oh man, that is radical.
Overall I’m happy, although I do really wish that 8 hadn’t passed in California…
