If I lived in the Soviet of California
doubleplusundead — If I lived in the Soviet of California ...and that'll never fucking happen unless some wild demographic shift turns it into Wingnutifornia, but I'd also vote no on Prop 8 .

At least, my own: A the H and I nearly had to "step outside" over California's Proposition 8. Patterico, however, is on my side. I wonder if his wife agrees with him. And the proprietress of the now-dormant CalBlog is at odds with her own husband over the same issue. Of course, as attorneys they are used to discussing such matter in a dispassionate way. My own equivalent household debate was not, really, my finest hour. On the other hand, my husband didn't ...
