BLADAM - Entry - The people spoke (and I cry)

The people spoke (and I cry)

Some charming samples of "democracy," according to Nevada in the election yesterday.

- Smoke a joint, (still) go to jail.
- Want to marry your same-sex partner? Go to hell.

Republicans are gloating that yesterday signaled a mandate for their 'causes.'

Somehow I just can't get myself to see <50% voter turnout as a mandate of anything except apathy and disenfranchisement.

I wonder if there's something to the whole compulsory voting thing, like they have in Australia. But I think that's material for another entry.
