Maybe you haven't been watching TV lately. Like, at all. But if you've ever turned it on, you've seen ads telling you to vote yes, vote no, vote clinton.
But what are all those Indians talking about anyway? (See the new Yes on Props 94-97 here.
The casino props, or Propositions 94 through 97, are probably the most controversial. Should we let 4 tribes down here add ALOT of slots to their casinos? [Let's ignore the whole fact that if we're going to pretend that gambling should be outlawed, then we shouldn't pawn it off on Indian tribes, so they can deal with the side effects and consequences of our hypocrisy, in an attempt to make ourselves feel better for taking over their country a few hundred years ago. I'm not even sure this is something I should be voting on.]
There's alot of reasons no and some reasons yes.
And, all those TV ads? While they've increased awareness from 43% to 70%, have they changed anyone's mind? Not really at all.
Other propositions? 93, which lowers term limits to 12 years but allows legislatures to spend it all in either the house or senate. There have been plenty of ads against it. Which pretty much means it isn't going to pass. Because, right, why would we want our legislators to have experience?
Pretending that our legislators aren't professionals, is like pretending the Olympics is just for amateurs.
