Elections and Polls.
I was reading the newspaper today and a letter to the editor was criticizing the governor for saying he would veto a bill allowing same sex marriage because the people had voted against it in an election. Then they said that he should also be against the special election this November because the majority of Californians were against it.
Ok. First; The Governor was referring to an election in which the citizens of the state voted and the majority voted no. Second; The writer of this letter is referring to a poll conducted by an unmentioned organization. These are two different things. I can't believe this person does not know the difference between an election and a poll. It angers me to no end that someone who lives in a democracy could be this stupid. Here's an Idea, When November 8th (That's election day by the way. It is even marked on most calendars as a reminder.) rolls around, instead of voting, GO TAKE A POLL!
