Voting?
Everybody's going to vote tomorrow, right?
Louisiana has SEVEN constitutional amendments on the ballot. Every time somebody wants to get a law passed, they put it in the constitution. It's lame. Two years ago, we passed a constitutional amendment that hunting and fishing are part of our cultural heritage and that we have the right to hunt and fish. Oi.
The Public Affairs Research Council of Louisiana has published this handy voter guide to the November 6 constitutional amendments. I used their guide two years ago, and found it balanced and thorough then. The only editorializing I could find in this year's guide was:
The Republican representative to the House for our district is a shoe in. We have no Senate races this mid-term.
I have some strong opinions about what's been happening in our country for the last five years. I think we've been lied to and lied to and lied to, and the Powers That Be are preying on our fears to surrender more and more of our constitutional freedoms - the freedom we are supposedly fighting for. Billions of dollars are pouring into the coffers of the crony-profiteers.
I am not optimistic about the outcome of the elections. Never underestimate the ability of the Democrats to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory! But it would be very, very good if I am wrong.

PAR has recommended for more than 30 years that the seven separate Orleans Parish assessors should be consolidated into a single, parish-wide office.

Going through all the ballot measures was like a big home work assignment here, I should see what grade I got later today or tomorrow ;-)
If only third party candidates had a chance in hell getting in.
Confession: This chronic voter didn't even bother to vote this year. Jindal was on the ballot, but he won something like 90%, and I didn't care about the amendments.
