After months of anticipation, this campaign season is finaling winding down. Tomorrow is the big day. I've had fun these last few months, particularly working so hard to help pass Proposition 8 here in California. It's been amazing to see how people have reacted on both sides of the issue. Here are some of my personal observations.
1) This is an explosive issue and too many people get personal and hateful about it. I think both sides should present their side as best they can, be respectful and then let the people decide. Instead, people start calling names, stretching the truth, getting destructive. We've had every Yes on 8 sign we put in our yard stolen or destroyed. We have not touched any of their stuff.
2) I know there have been some Yes on 8 supporters who have been rude and abusive in their approach. But I guarantee that nothing they've said or done approaches what the No group has said about the Mormons. Talk about intolerance and hatred! We are simply voting our conscience, just like they are. So let's be civil about this.
3) I love living in the United States of America. Where else in the world can there be discussion like we have here? Nowhere! That's why this is the greatest country on God's green earth.
