The Other Side

Do you, active-collectivite, often feel alienated during discussions? Are you a free market capitalist, with a Sarah Palin pin, who begged their parents to vote for Roger Douglas? Think the U.S. should be drilling for oil, anywhere and everywhere? Well, do I have some day-brighteners for you!

The passage of Proposition 8 has been blamed on:
  • Black People
  • Old People
  • Barack Obama
and
  • Gay People
So when someone says 'Those damn Mormons' you can retaliate, in a really, really statistically* correct fashion.

Can we blame it on minorities? Yes we can!


(Oh, and , here, have some links.)


(Okay, just so everyone knows, about 10% of Voters in California are black. 7 in 10 voted for prop 8, bringing the total black contribution to 7%of the vote. Of the other 9o% of votes, Latino votes (roughly 3x that of African Americans) were about 53% for, and both Asian Americans and uhh...white people? at 49%)

Excellent links, Romana, yet I can't help thinking that this may just be a tactical use of your time to replace studying?

Lily: Can't find your email address, but I was going to put some small-sized versions of media articles in the mag, including yours. But the version you have saved on student common has missing pictures and the paint-splashes are just a normal font now. If you have it at home in the proper form and could 'Export' (instead of save) it as a jpg and email it to me I could use it.
