When I'm in doubt about an issue, my tendency is not to want to change the status quo. But it seems that other people generally prefer to vote "Yes" than "No" on just about anything. All 7 SC constitutional amendments passed by pretty large margins.

Well, 22% of the people here voted against the anti-gay marriage amendment. That's about one in 4 or 5. That means only about 3 out of every 4 people would hate me if I fell in love with a female and wanted to spend the rest of my life with her in a loving caring relationship.

Same-sex marraige

Voters in Massachusetts voted NO to three out of three questions on the ballot here. Meanwhile, state lawmakers yesterday again refused to vote on a proposed ban on same-sex marriages, a move that effectively killed any chance that the measure would appear on the 2008 statewide ballot. The vote dealt a crushing blow to opponents of same-sex marriage looking to overturn a 2003 Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court decision that ruled that gays and lesbians can legally marry under the state constitution.
Yes, it’s cold in New England, but we have demonstrated that our hearts are warm. Perhaps all that heat down south has turned most South Carolinians brains to mush.

Well maybe a lot of the voters here could only remember that they were supposed to vote Yes on something, and when they saw all the many complicated-sounding questions, decided they'd better vote Yes for everything.
