A Good Start

So last night we (the voting people in the family) were talking about the current Props that are up for a vote this Nov (or sooner if you mail in your ballot). Since this is the first discussion so far we really just looked at the basics of each one with out really digging down deep. Now in the household we have three very different generational ideas going on. It was very cool to hear what some things each one of us thought was important and how we viewed each and every issue. Some issues were very volatile while others we all seemed to be thinking the same way. Of course there was the whole well if you would like this to end up one way make sure you vote this way... very confusing.

One of the issues that I didn't think would really generate a lot of conversion was the speed train issue (Prop 1~ I think) the amount of money and how it would be paid back and does it ever really get paid back? Would it be a benefit, would people use it? Would people be able to afford to use it? The IDEA is great... but would it pay for its self like they are projecting? Personally I hope it does pass. And I hope they do build it.

The other one that Danni had real issues with was the abortion one where the Doctors must inform the parents of a un-emancipated minors 48 hours before they perform an abortion. She really went back and forth on this one, on one hand she wondered why the Doctor would have to inform the parents. And then she wondered what right did the Doctor have to inform the parents. Like I told her I would hope that any child of mine would be able to come to me and let me know what was going on and if not me then one of the trusted adults that are around. She just smiled and agreed with me.

All in all I think it was a good conversation.
