You know who else used argumentum ad personam, Hitler.

and thus I reenact every argument on the internet. Personally I don't like the way the bill is worded. I don't like how much attention its getting and how people are paying more attention to this then to some of the important bills that need more attention.

On that, I will certainly agree.

I do think it's important that this Prop. gets attention, because at it's core it is unconstitutional (and let's face it; limiting the rights of one group of people is the first step towards limiting the rights of all people).

But at the same time, it doesn't stand to cost us $20 billion.

Also even should the people of California vote let this bill pass, it probably will be declared unconstitutional by a judge minutes after its signed. Kind of like when it was first passed back in 2000? or so.

btw i found the artist who did your icon, and there are more of them....
