Bringing Sexy Back

Do you want to touch me there?



Joan Jett explains in the "Song Do you want to touch" that,
"Every girl an' boy
Needs a little joy
All you do is sit an' stare
Beggin' on my knees
Baby, won't you please
Run your fingers through my hair?"

Bobs. Explosions. Moving Chest Muscles. An attractive androgynous lady.

When voters in California were asked on Nov 4 if they supported the state's decision to allow boys to touch other boys and allow girls to touch other girls and receive the same tax breaks that men who touch other women and women who touch other men receive, voters said NO.

California voters' decision to ban gay marriage was a poor one. Hundreds homosexual couples got married before November 4, 2008. Now, is the state supposed to revoke the benefits that it gave to newly wed homosexual couples?

Really, California voters are foolish. The world will not end once the gays get married. Lightning bolts from God will not strike human beings on earth if two ladies go down to the city hall together to get married.

Opponents of prop 8 ran a bad campaign against the ballot initiative. Ads for No on Prop 8 were confusing and wordy. The issue is simple:

as a lady and an American citizen, do i have the right to touch a girl and receive tax breaks? doesn't my boo (who is lady) deserve my health insurance? You and your boo have health insurance.

Voters in California believe that a lady has the right to touch a man and receive tax breaks but doesn't believe that a lady has the right to touch another lady and receive tax break. Hmmm. Back to the dick/vag problem. Apparently, gender as an issue is more complicated of an issue than the American people would like to admit.

Its unclear what people in California are afraid of. Perhaps voters in Calfornia just want to deny individuals the joy of touching whoever they want, regardless of his or her gender.
