(45,319 posts)was a less than perfect candidate. Here is what I was offered at 18. Something to vote against. Here is what it said on my first general election ballot:
"Prohibit gays and supporters of gay rights from teaching in public schools - Yes or No".
Give us something to vote FOR you demand. So precious. Because of those before you, you will probably never have to see a ballot measure that holds your group up for specific discrimination. But I had to see that, and let me tell you this, when people say they did not vote because the offerings were not savory enough for them, I think of that Briggs Amendment. I wonder if your precious generation would like to see THAT sort of 'motivator' on their ballots or if they are in fact happy that their elders took care of so much business while they were in diapers? Would you be happier, Odin, if we were still voting 'Fire all the gays-Yes or No'? Is that the level of dramatics you need to feel 'compelled' to vote?
