there's also 53% of us who think this will lead to violating civil rights. LadyLorraine Send a noteboard - 27/04/2010 05:19:29 PM
As I've said before, I'm not against the law itself, merely how I know it will be executed, as well as the increased costs that result from it. Depending on the wording of the phone survey (which they don't seem to include anywhere), I could have been lumped in with the idiots who think nothing but good will come of this.

My only point was that the "will of the people in Arizona" does not speak with one voice and there are plenty of us who are against this law in one way or another.
