Missing the snow...
Everybody dreams of retiring to Southern California and now I know why. There is absolutely NO change in weather aside from nice and extremely hot. It is gorgeous all year round and you don't have to deal with all of the idiot drivers in the snow. Well I MISS THE SNOW dang it!!! The weather out here is gorgeous, two days ago it was 95 outside, but it's the beginning of winter people! Don't you know there is supposed to be snow on the ground?!? Two weeks and I will be back in Utah for a couple days...hopefully there will be snow out there. If not, at least I get to see the snow covered mountains!!! :)

8 means Hate?
That is what most of the "No on Prop 8" signs read. I have a problem with this claim. They say that people for 8 are the ones that "HATE" others and are taking away their rights, and yet the only thing that I have seen from them is destruction, vandalism, theft, and violence.
During the entire election period I never once saw a No on 8 sign that was taken or destroyed. The most that I saw it move was from one street corner to the next. Yes on 8 signs, however, we spray painted with No across it, stolen, or in my sister in laws case kicked so it was ripped in two (while on her personal property).
As for peaceful protesting and expressing your first amendment rights, it's all fine and dandy when they do it. Nobody complains, the most that happens from the Yes on 8 side is protesting on opposite corners of the street. They don't think we should have the right to go out and support 8 without repercussion.
As my sister in law was out with a whole bunch of Yes on 8 supporters she was approached by a 19 or 20 year old girl who asked if she was voting for Obama. When she said she wasn't there to talk about that the girl became irate asking everyone in her group the same question. Eventually Jeanette again in a stronger tone said nobody was going to talk about that. They were here to talk about 8, so the chick decided to take a swing at her. When she missed, she kicked her in the upper front thigh.
Of course everyone stepped in and made it impossible for her to get to Jeanette so she ran to the middle of the median, spoke with a car that had been trying to hit Yes on 8 supporters all day, then seeing Jeanette wide open ran at her and kicked her again in the other upper front thigh! They finally called the cops and it took them 40 minutes to drag her out of her hotel room kicking and screaming, spitting on the cops! What happened to our freedom of speech without being assaulted for it?
They have a problem against the church because we are willing to donate time and money to help support the family, but it's not just the LDS church that donated. Every Christian based religion in California did the same thing, including the Catholics! Yet we are the ones who are ostracized because of it. They vandalize our bishops home with spray paint. They make commercials directly against the church.
8 means hate? Yes, it does! It means all of those that do not support 8 HATE people that support 8, while those that support 8 still love and respect them for their decisions. It means supporters are now hated and will feel the wrath of those that don't agree and their first amendment rights will be taken away by force. Now please, tell me what is ok with this???
