Politics

My dad told me that he voted for Kerry and yes on Prop 66. I didn't have time to ask him why since I only had a couple of minutes on the phone ith him. I didn't know that my parents keep up with politics. They don't speak English, but they know Chinese well. I'm glad that they exercised their right to vote.

I asked the prison guard to vote yes on Prop 66. He said, "Yeah, right, and mess up my job security?" Job security. That's why the California Correctional Peace Officers' Association (CCPOA) put out half a million dollars to campaign against the passage of Prop 66.

Someone attacked a white prisoner. He was bleeding profusely. The prison guards searched everyone on the yard. The victim was taken to the infirmary for treatment. THere was no ID of the attacker, so the administration put all the white prisoners on lockdown.

At a different part of the prison, a group of northern Mexicans attacked a group of white men. The two groups have been at war for a few months. They will be on lockdown for awhile. Some people just can't get along with each other.
