OT: The Propositions on the ballot in CA

[XBoxBoy]

I have a simple suggestion. Vote no on all of them. There might be one or two that you like, but the problem that I see is that the ballot proposition idea sounds good but in practice is terrible.

All too often there is little unbiased information about these ballot and no information about possible unintended consequences. Many times in recent years voters have been fooled or tricked into voting for things that are not what they think they are.

Many of the propositions are also for large bond issues. Notice that we only get to vote on spending money on the issues that voters are likely to support. (education, environmental protection, police and firefighting) What the state assembly does when they want more money, is spend the general fund on their pet projects and then let these ballot propositions fund the things they should have funded instead of their special interest projects.

So, the sooner we stop trying to run our government through this process the better. Thus, I recommend voting no on all of these issues.

I agree with XBoxBoy on the fact that many of these issues appear in face value to support worthy causes, but the question should be asked as to why we can’t fund this with our existing budget which is bloated to begin with.

Obviously yes on 2 and 7 (because that’s The Right Thing to do)

No on 8 (civil rights issue)

No on 4 (teenagers have rights, too)

No on 10 (a big taxpayer handout to T. Boone Pickens)

No opinion on others.

While I don’t know if the High Speed rail prop is a good one as written, we as a country, not just a state, need to invest in this eventually. It will give people an option to air travel at some point, and it has to be less costly to push a vehicle along rails than to lift it up to 30,000 feet in the air.

If high speed rail is successful, it will put a big dent in domestic air travel revenue, but I think that’s inevitable.

By the way, I’ve always hated flying…..
