2. Boy 50 went down hard

I don't know why some members of our party cannot get it through their heads that the people will not pass unfair taxes. It's that simple. Find a fair revenue source, define the details of your program, and the people will vote for it.

Good about 49, except my son-in-law just lost a million dollar construction contract. He's not going to be happy. I'm glad I'm not going to have the Hatfields and McCoys on my hands because I really didn't like the location of the development. I don't expect this to be over either though. Lots of money tied up in land, especially land that can't be logged anymore.

4. Money tied up in land that can't be logged anymore

Hi, sandnsea. I can understand the pressure to develop, but then I have a hard time feeling sorry for extractive industries that don't include that consequence as part of the price of doing business. To log and then develop is a double whammy on the land, and the surrounding communities too.

5. I don't feel sorry for them

I'm just saying they're there and they aren't going to let their land sit idle. This land use fight is not over.

8. I've NEVER experienced that, lol.

50/50 this time, since I voted "yes" on both.

I was not comfortable with measure 50. I wavered back and forth until it was too late to mail my ballot and I had to drop it off.

OHP saved my grandson's life. Literally. In the end, I had to fall on the side of health care, even if I didn't like the funding source.

While I struggled with that decision I kept thinking,

"If Congress passed HR 676, we wouldn't have to resort to this kind of thing."

9. My objection to 50 was that they completely ignore the fact that we are already

paying for this and our "representatives" are just stealing the money for their own ends.

676 is the only answer and we are just too stupid to see it. So, thousands more will die needlessly and we will continue to ignore the tidal wave as it races toward us.

I truly fear that that horrible film, "Idiocracy", will be hailed as a supernaturally prescient masterpiece in the not-too-distant future.
