        The one with cops and gambling is spookie.

        Then the one with the DNA testing.

        Tough stuff.

        I crossed off every single fucking republican, not one of them bitches I am voting for.

          I am voting No on 72. I think that forcing companies over a certain size to provide benefits by law only does two things:

          1. Legalized plunder. Stealing from the rich to give to the poor never works.

          2. Will cause some businesses from expanding just to avoid going over the number of employees that would require them to start providing health care.

          While writing this, it also occurs to me that it could have the effect of driving more business out of CA where they don't have regulations like the proposed one in this measure.

          It should also be mentioned that it would result in significant net state revenue loses. Overall unknown net state and local savings or costs.

            Cops? Are you talking about LA County measure A? That raises our sales tax by one-half cent. I am voting No because I do not feel they need to raise taxes, but rather learn to operate under a budget.

            Gambling: that would be Props 68 and 70. The people that started 68 decided it was a lost cause and stopped promoting it. It was too late in the process, so it still made the ballot. I was voting Yes, but I guess I could be the only one.

            The other was Prop 70. I am voting NO because I am not letting anyone enter into a 99 year contract, especially since right now we have no way of knowing how much the Indian tribes take in under the current system. I am not going to allow them to set up a 99 year contract when sometime down the road we might pass a law that makes them divulge more accurate info, but have them slide by with this 99 year loophole.

                  Sorry, I forgot Prop 69, the DNA issue.

                  I am voting YES. I think that it is to my advantage if they have my DNA on file from some prior conviction to keep me from being wrongfully charged on some other matter.

                  It only applies to felons, so I think that they have lost the right to privacy when convicted of a felony, just like they lose their right to vote or own a handgun.

                    When in doubt, vote NO. It isn't like we need additional laws or taxes.

                              Yes, spending money to try to save countless lives is just stupid.


                              Anyway - what you think about the 3 strikes one?

                                Actually it's $3 billion we get, but we have to pay back $6 billion.

                                Stem cell research isn't going anywhere, which is great, but California CAN'T afford a fucking huge loan for this when we're already so in debt.

                                This research will continue all over the world either way

                                  Why should the State of California fund the research? That is what capitalism is all about. Let private enterprise fund it, and reap the rewards. Trust me, they will do it without my cash donations, and they will be more economic about it.

                                  Prop 66- I say vote YES. When the 3 strikes law was presented to us they said it was only supposed to be for perps that were convicted of violent crimes. They turned it around and made it something it was not meant to be.

                                  It is time to bring it back to what it was originally intended. YES on 66

                                    I look at the big picture, so yeah, it is a $3 billion bond, that will cost $6 billion to pay back. Hell, make it a low interest loan and I might say yes, but no way can we afford that kind of additional debt.

                                            There is nothing to be gained by the State of California funding this research. Let some socialist country do it if private industry doesn't want to take it on.
