Do what the Dictator dictates!
Guido van Rossum, Python’s benevolent dictator for life, Googler and the smartest guy I’ve ever worked with, can’t vote in this election, but that doesn’t mean he can’t have an opinion:
I’m not a US citizen, so I can’t vote in US elections (though I pay taxes like the best of them!), but my wife is. We have two signs in our front yard this week. One simply says “Obama”, the other “No on Prop 8”. I’d like to put up the equivalent of those signs in my blog.
If you’re eligible to vote in the US, do me and the rest of the world a favor and vote for Obama. If you’re voting in California, please help to reject Proposition 8, which is a blatant curtailing of freedom, equality and happiness for gay Californians. Defeating Prop 8 in California will pave the way for equal rights in other states and eventually all of the US. Don’t make me ashamed of living here!
PS. If you think you have no time to vote, think again.
Weird how the post title disagrees with the content, but I’m sure he’ll straighten that out.
