THERE'S HOPE!

Issue 2 (SB5) in Ohio went down to the joy and cheering of the working class.  This decision means different things to different people.  However, regardless of the problems which exist in some unions, stripping .them of any of the power given to them to do good for working people is no answer.  It is as effective as doctors bleeding patients of the 'poison' in their bodies in the 19th C leaving them anemic and unable to fight illnesses. After hearing of the loss, Governor Kasich said:  "Though I would have preferred a different outcome tonight, the people of Ohio have spoken and I respect their decision."  Read more.  This is Kasich, in essence, pleading for his job.  The message the crowd kept repeating, hoping that Boehner would hear it, "We need jobs, jobs, jobs."

Mississippi's Initiative26, calling a fertilized egg as human being has been voted down..    It is obvious that the people of Mississippi are much more rational than the elected officials in the state.  Those citizens who bravely voted such an absurd measure down raise the possibility for hope as did the citizens of Ohio.  It frightens me to think of the misogynists running that state.  The notion that a fertilized egg is a human being is as ridiculous as saying a seed is a plant.  Someone lost the concept of potential in that equation.

While we are hearing about what is happening in states.  We cannot be fooled that it is contained locally.  These are National issues.
