I went to vote Tuesday and there were three controversial ballots to vote for: One, was the PERSONHOOD INITIATIVE, in which, had it passed, would deem an egg fertilized at conception be considered a person with all legal rights and protection. I voted against it, and so did a lot of Mississipians, and it failed. Even Bill Maher said on his show last night:
"I've never had anything positive to say about Mississippi, but hey, they got it right this time."

No surprise, men are the creatures who have hawked this idea and fervently backed it. Know what I wanna see? A ballot backed by fervent women that says any man who has fathered two children, max, must have a mandatory vasectomy. Men would cringe and hold their crotch. It's okay for men to want to dictate procreation in women, but they'd scream "leave my stuff alone."

Then was VOTER I.D. It's hard to believe anyone would be against people having to show I.D. to vote, but it had to go on the ballot before it passed, so now you'll have to show (probably a picture I. D.) to vote. About time.

Then there was IMMINENT DOMAIN. Certain businessmen liked the idea that private land could be confiscated for private purposes. But that was voted down, too, and now your land can't be grabbed. Good.

More later
