Monday, November 01, 2004 What with the election and all, I thought it'd be worth permalinking to an essay I submitted to 1000words in September -- because of iFrames, you can't see it as part of the site as a whole. But I assure you that it's very impressive. After going through all the propositions tonight, I feel very educated. But I have to admit that a big help in my decision-making? The voter information guide's pro/con info. Not because political spiel helps me make up my mind. But because I could look at any given proposition and figure out instantly where the Governor stood. The Governor, you see, LOVES TO SPEAK IN ALL CAPS. Every proposition he supports uses ALL-CAPS TO MAKE ITS MAIN POINTS. And NOT JUST A LITTLE BIT. Every OTHER word IS capitalized, IT seems. I agree with Schwartzenegger on some issues, to be fair. Stem cell research, at the very least. But we disagree more than we agree, so all I had to do is open the pro/con page and WHAT SCHWARTZENEGGER SUPPORTED WOULD BE PRETTY CLEAR. It still took me close to an hour, though. And now, Daily Show and bed. Hopefully with minimal teeth-grinding. | permalink blog • archives • photos • about • contact This work is licensed under a Creative Commons License. All content © 2004.
