More Deception...

I had a water polo coach who told me, "you know you are winning when the other team starts scratching and biting".

Well, the scratching and biting is in full force.

Today, I was notified that the web domain "yesonprop8.com" was purchased and is being run by the opposition to proposition 8 and that they are using it to drive traffic away from the yesonproposition8.com site and give out misinformation.

I really don't care about any argument for gamesmanship or strategy. This is pure deceit. Just like the commercial about marriage that was broadcast during the Olympics.

Deceit keeps people from exercising their right to choose. People need the right to choose. But if you keep material information away from people, the right to choose is taken away from them. A choice is made, yes, but it is based upon misinformation and is therefore not the person's choice.

Knowledge is power, and limiting the people's knowledge is the most powerful weapon in a tyrant's arsenal. Look at every dictator, fascist, or tyrant. They all limited the knowledge of the people, so that the people were easier to control.

Yes, I am drawing a line in the sand and the no on proposition 8 people are on the side of Hitler, Stalin, and Peron. The irony is that those same "no" vote supporters accuse me of burning books and being a fanatic, yet they don't want anyone to read, hear, or see anything contrary to their opinion.

This country is on the brink of collapse. We need to act now!
