Are you voting today?

[Mixability]

Also, Danyo, it's NIMBY-ish.

Not In My Back Yard.

Everybody wants things to be better, but nobody wants to pay for it. Also, when something will make something else better, but it involves something nearby, people don't want it.

EXAMPLE: Some people would say they want better cell-phone reception, but they don't want big towers near them.

[shelshor]

Yes, otherwise I don't feel justified in getting to b1tch and whine about the outcome of the election

[MannyIsGod]

It's all a matter of perspective and where you are in life. Doesn't everyone vote from their perspective? You are young and a professional student. Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't you live in an apartment? Maybe if you were a property owner, you wouldn't be so quick to raise property taxes. Just a thought!

If I owned property I'd still vote FOR the bond. But I value education a great deal, as you pointed out.

I understand the peoples reasons for voting as they do, but I think it is foolish. The ACCD needs the money and San Antonio as a whole seems much benefit from improving the overall education of the city. It pays off huge dividends. I hope the bond passes today, but I'm not too optimistic.

Why aren't you people voting for the brand new sports complex? What is with you?

[MannyIsGod]

As far as Prop 2 goes, I assume that the closest it comes is 65-35, but I think it will be more like 70% for. These acts are rarely close when they are on ballots across the country.

However, the thing to look forward to is the legal action that is sure to follow. I don't expect Prop 2 to be diferent from any other measures that have been tried across the country and struck down by the courts because of thei inherint inequal nature.

[Marcus Bryant]

I agree. People should be allowed to form marriages based on how they .

Thanks!

[Horry For 3!]

Nope.

[Trainwreck2100]

That spells bad news for the bond. People don't want to fund school, they just want the s in check.

That's easily solved make a bond to keep s out of college and attach a rider to increase funding.

[midgetonadonkey]

To quote Danny Devito in Screwed..."Why should my money go to build schools and pave roads?"

[Hook Dem]

yeppers

and i don't we should have to pay school taxes unless we have kids in school

I'm assuming you're young and don't have children yet. I understand your thinking on that but how bout the ones who have grown children and not in school? Thats why I said everyone votes from their perspective.

[AlamoSpursFan]

I voted AGAINST Prop 2.

If there's only one vote against it in Wilson County, that was ME!

[McKenzie]

True, but I think that the ACCD pleased many a person with the revised bond issue and that will stick in the minds of voters.

I've got little doubt that the bond passes today.

GO ACCD! That needs to pass.

Hey to the Texas State Bobcat above. I'm taking some classes there through July.

wrong assumption - i'm 44 years old and don't ever want children - my perspective is if you decide to make babies then you are responsible for their welfare, education etc. - not me

[TheWriter]

Looks like the ACCD Bond is going to pass with by a large margin.

yeah!

[TheWriter]

If the ACCD bond does pass, and I don't think it is nearly as likely as many of you, it will be by a narrow margin.

Looks like its gonna win by a huge margin.

[MannyIsGod]

Yeah, the bond looks good to go. A pleasant suprise for me. Prop 2 passsing with about what I predicted, but the real fight is yet to come on that.

I was expecting it to pass (once ACCD decided to expand nursing in St Phillips and SAC) so I'm happy.

Yawn.....

[pseudofan]

Look man, God made us like puzzle pieces.... to fit together. But we've all done puzzles right? Sometimes you try to force a piece and it actually does fit, but the picture doesn't look right because that piece does not belong there.

Men don't marry men, women don't marry women, people don't marry animals, and animals don't marry birds for a reason. The pictures wouldn't look right.

What's there to vote on?

[MannyIsGod]

Well, not everyone subscribes to your religous beliefs, and not everyone believes that. Marriage by the government and marriage by a church are 2 entirely different things that Americans are unable to differantiate. They lambast gays getting married as a great threat to an ins ution that allows for such reality TV shows as The Bachelor and I Want To Marry A Millionare. An ins ution that is rife with adultery and has an incredible high divorce rate.

A legal contract between 2 people has nothing to do with religion, and that is what governmental marriage is.

But you're right, there is nothing to vote on. As much as people of this country love to believe they can vote the rights of others away, it just isn't so. That is a fact the courts have upheld again and again.

This is going to court, and in court is where it will be reversed.

[pseudofan]

Maybe I'm ignorant then. Marriage should not be a legal contract between two people, that's what I did to get my Direct TV. Marriage should be a leap of "faith" between two people (with faith being the operative word).

[TheWriter]

Marriage is a fantasy.

Does marriage give people powers? Does it make their lives easier? Does it make people happier?

No.
