I got the pamphlet on ballot initiatives that the state sends out last week. The thing's as big as a college textbook! So how many people are actually going to study this thing? And how many are simply going to follow the favorite Christian coalition voting guide, the last commercial they saw, or what Arnold says? As a means of governance -- what a fucking joke! Any economist will tell you, you're a fool to take it seriously.
There's a million dollars and ten thousand people out there to wipe out every informed vote.
Two decisions I have made -- both are fairly knee-jerk:
Prop 63 : Yes (I just want to drive all the millionaires out of San Diego -- ha!)
Prop 71 : Yes
Some help :
