11/8 Oh great... all the measures and all the propositions passed.
Urge to kill... rising.
\_ Oh, you were in favor of letting convicted child molesters live
near elementary schools?
\_ Thank you to all the urban areas that exported their child
molesters to rural areas! We really appreciate it. Now where
did I put that shotgun?
\_ I'm opposed to making these people wear a GPS for life.
That's ridiculous. Are we not even pretending to rehab
people anymore? If you're a teacher and boff a 17 year old
student then you wear a tracking device for life?
\_ For me, this depends on what genders you and your student
are. I'll scream either "Rape!" or "Hot!" accordingly.
\_ I guess my point is that if these people are still so
dangerous that they need 24/7 monitoring then maybe
we should not let them out. However, I think this law
is mostly based on hysteria. I am fine with most of
the bill, but not the monitoring. It seems like a
violation of civil rights, very Orwellian, and EXPENSIVE.
\_ Regarding that prop, I believe it adds a lot of expense for
no actual safety benefit. Plus I agree with the above poster
that it's an appeal to emotion and hysteria. Every semi-urban
area is reasonably close to a school and/or children. Why are
you in favor of letting convicted child molesters live?
\_ Exactly. Shouldn't we also be tracking anyone with
a felony conviction then? I'm more concerned about
violent criminals with long rap sheets. I'm concerned
about molesters, too, but why single them out?
\_ except all those that you know, didn't
\_ sorry I saw stuff yesterday projecting them all winning, but
the bonds are still bad.
\_ Who cares. Only the bond measures passed. The tax measures like
the stupid added parcel tax failed. Good.
the stupid added parcel tax and the ridiculous cigarette tax all
failed. Good.
\_ Do you know how much the passed bonds will add to our annual debt
service?
