Vote No on prop 69

Okay. I've finally figured out how something works, which is rare because I break everything and never get them fixed. In California, like a couple of other states we have wacky propositions which appear on the ballots every now and then that make you say: "What a stupid, racist homophobic piece of shit legislation, there's no way in hell, people are going to be that stupid and vote on that." A few months later– surprise! Motherfuckers! It's now illegal for Gays to breathe oxygen.

I can never figure out how these stupid laws get passed. I mean, no one I know voted for them and California seems to be a little more enlightened than Arizona or Texas. Yet, we still pass laws against affirmative action, Mexican citizenship and Gay marriage and there are all of these cities in Cal, waving their blue, hypocritical fingers at Arizona.

The people of Arizona seem to have two flawed thought patterns. 50% of the people that voted to kick Mexicans in the balls, said: "Thisouttashow-um!" And the other side, that would have voted against it because it really is just a law to kick Pedro in the huevos rancheros
said: "Well, I'm just tired of kicking people in the balls. I want the federal government to step in and do their job...of kicking Mexicans in the balls. Going on that flawed logic of trying to force the feds to do their jobs by voting for a crazy-ass law is akin to voting for child molesters to become school teachers: "That'll show the feds to not allow school prayer!"

But how, how I wondered, do these laws get passed? If every White person were a racist,
White, Christian , Republican, Conservative Male with a thing against Blacks, Gays and Mexicans. They still wouldn't out number the Non racist, White, Blacks Gays and Mexicans who should be voting against the racist/homophobic laws. Ahhhh, but theres the rub. If the Ultra right tea wingers put a law on the ballot that read:

Prop 69: Shall the State of California make it legal to kick Black, Gays and Mexicans in the Nads?" That proposition wouldn't even get on the ballot. BUT if you were to take proposition 69 and break it into tiny little evil pieces, then you can get it passed before anyone realized that they'd all been slapped, bent and butt fucked...Except perhaps the Gay guy. "Oooo! Oh No he didn't!"

Example: 1) Law 1 in California (prop 13 I think), that said basically: "Shall we take away the money used for homeless shelters and use it to lower our taxes? "Hell yeah!" everyone but the homeless people yelled. Law 1 passes. Years later, California and especially San Francisco are still dealing with the large number of hobo run-offs.
Years later:

Law 2 gets on the ballot that says: "Shall California beat up on illegal Mexicans?": "Hell yeah!" Yell the racist Whites, Blacks and Gays. "Hell no!" Yell the Mexicans. Law 2 passes. Years later:

Law 3: "Shall California give Martin Luther King Jr. the finger and take away affirmative action?". Hell yes!: yell the racist Whites, Gays and Mexicans (who are pissed about Law 2). "Are you insane?" Yell the Blacks. Law 3 passes. Then came:

Law 4 (prop 8): "Shall California create state sponsored discrimination against people who want to put a P in an A or tongue to V?" "Hell Yeah!" Yell Homophobic religious ,Whites, Blacks, Mexicans and Hobos who were promised a bottle of mad dog 2020 if they voted yes. "Wha-wha waaa?" Yell the queers who thought: "Surely everybody loves Will and Grace." Law 4 passes.

Do you see the pattern now? In California, Arizona's law would be just the same old bullshit law taken apart and voted on piece by piece. I'm sure in 5 years you'll see Prop 000: "Shall Blacks be forced to ride in the back of the bus?" "Make sense to me" says everyone else not affected by that law. Those are the key words": Not affected." Just like the story of Anne Frank, if you don't stand up when they come for your neighbor, who is going to save your sorry ass when the jack-booted Tea Party thugs vote to have your rights taken away?

10 other states are already talking about an Arizona type law. I'm curious how many of them are actually on the border to Mexico and how many are just part of the master plan to start whittling away the rights of anyone that isn't straight White, Christian , Republican, Conservative males. The only way to stop them is to vote against any law that takes away the rights of anyone. I mean why the hell were we given rights in the first place? Just to have some Hitler asshole take them away?
Did you know the United States didn't enter WW2 until the Japs (their words) bombed Pearl Harbor. And yet everyone including the congress knew what the Nazis were doing to the Jews, England, France, Poland even Africa was getting attacked and it wasn't cool like that show Rat patrol. But as soon as Pearl Harbor is bombed, then we're all like: "Let's get those Nazi bastards!"; The perfect example of waiting until it messes up your shit until you get all upset.
Oh Plllease! Give me a fucking break. We should have been up Hitlers ass the minute he grew that ugly mustache.

"Gang way! Big Melons Coming Through!"

One of the things that blows my freaking mind, and by freaking mind, I actually mean fucking mind, are the rich-bitch customers that come into Target. I mean, really, why are you shopping at Target? Are you broke as all hell like the rest of us or is this some kind of slumming thing?: "Look at me, Poopsie, I'm pretending to be poor, let's go to a monster-truck rally, next." But their presence doesn't really bother me, it's the way they say thank you. I know I shouldn't criticize anyone that even speaks to me at Target, I'll get to those knuckle dragger's later, but when these women say thanks You can't hear it unless you were a dog with a cone in his ear. The only sound you hear is the "s" on the end of the word. So instead of thanks, all you hear is : sssssss. "Holy shit!" I yell, "Look out lady! there's a snake in here or a leaky gas pipe!"
Speaking of annoying, How hard is it, when a cashier says"Hello. or thank you, to return the favor? I mean, I totally understand that before you came to Target, You had an abortion and then your car got a flat and then your boyfriend broke up with you by TXT MSG because he didn't think that the baby was his, even tough the baby wasn't even an issue anymore–But still, all you have to do is repeat what the cashier says: If they say: "Good morning", you can even say the more non-committed: "Morning." Or even "Hi" But Nooo, they just ignore me as if I've just said: "Hi, are you fat or pregnant?"

Speaking of pregnant (nice segue). One of the few perks of the job are the pregnant or formally pregnant women. It's not that they're extra nice. Sometimes they are and other times they look like they want to hurl, I should probably stop eating live baby chicks at my register. But for reason's I have to know, they always like to wear these skimpy low-cut tops. Now I'm not into pregnant women like those weird porn sites that cater to those fetish freaks, but if you know anything about human physiology, when women get pregnant and especially during breast feeding, THEIR BOOBS GET GIGANTOR! And so, when they come up to the register, wearing low-cut tank tops, it's like their boobs are leading the way like a pushy, bodyguard shoving adoring fans out of the way to make room for the movie star. But why the low-cut shirts? In winter ? My theory is: Either their boobs hurt and the low cut things are more comfortable; The low-cut tops are easy for baby access or my favorite, they're saying: "Finally! God has blessed me with the body of a Barbie doll without one dollar of surgery! Read-em and weep boys!" Can't touch this! Do do do do!
The only time I was thrown for a loop was when a 20-something year-old woman had a chest like two bald-headed men under a blanket. But then, I noticed that she wasn't pregnant! Nor had she any body fat which also produces women with 44 DDDs. My diagnoses: Stripper, desperate house wife or mafia moll.

Speaking of getting reamed (not a good segue), They gave us our reviews recently and even tough people worked their asses off, picked up their asses and screwed them back on, they of course rewarded us with raises that make working in a Chinese shit factory look like a up-grade.
I've seen this happen before, when I worked for an art supply store. We worked our asses off, picked them up, polished them clean and kept working, and made the store lots of dollar signs. Come raise time, what do they do? Chinese shit factory! This of course caused a mass exodus of all of the good employees and a year later the place went out of business. You heard it here first. If Target folds, don't say they weren't warned.

Speaking of projectile vomiting.
That's all, EM
