-Gun ban/...Propositions on our Cali ballot include:<br />-Gun ban/restriction: Bans magazines of 11 rounds or more, require background checks for ammunition and require the state to share data in the FBI’s background check system, among other things<br />-Marijuana legalization (they sooo want the tax revenue but Potheads Beware: State will also mandate purity rules. Bummer!)<br />-Pro Death Penalty and Anti Death Penalty <br />-Law requiring actors to wear condoms in porn. Basically, the rest of the porn industry will move to Nevada if this passes<br />-Proposition to go back to multilingual education (overturning 1998 proposition requiring English immersion)<br />-Sentencing overhaul so certain "nonviolent" felons can be released early<br />-The usual sundry and tawdry efforts to increase revenue to the stateAmartelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11636450794507517534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717986195212622043.post-14167753297487146712016-11-04T13:54:53.621-04:002016-11-04T13:54:53.621-04:00Hey, at least you've got a Republican running ...Hey, at least you've got a Republican running for the Senate. Here in California our choice for Boxer's senate throne is between 2 dumb dems. The establishment candidate is a Willie Brown protege Kamala Harris (currently our AG and backed by both Feinstein and Boxer). The Latino establishment candidate is half-wit left-wing nut job Loretta Sanchez who uses racially disparaging terms (towards Vietnamese and Indians) and probably is involved in shady financial dealings but is never accountable because they're small time and this is a full-on blue state. Not a Republican in sight due to passage of law that the top two vote-getters in the primary go on to the general election.

All you got with weed is more criminality, more homeless and their problems, more crime as it's still an all cash business, and the black market pot dealers trying to undersell the legal retail market. People would say, well why would you go to a dealer instead of a dispensary? There are all sorts of reasons why.Methadrashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07828014989470539375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717986195212622043.post-45728941806675877132016-11-04T09:54:24.967-04:002016-11-04T09:54:24.967-04:00It's not about the cigarette.

The economic illiterates scheme for any tax rape so they can keep the gravy train going without ever actually providing the services they promise. It's always to fill underfunded government pensions. In CO - it's pera. Pera is broke.<br /><br /><br />Guess what! Hillary wants an army of government workers to swarm the bureaucratic administrative state and create a permanent voting block that will continue to vote to kill the golden goose.

This is the second or third time. No matter what the pitch, in reality all tax increases go to public employee pay, benefits and pensions. These have been so irresponsibly increased that they can't be funded, and must suck up every dollar available, leaving us with little else from the government beyond well-paid current and former government employees. Bad roads, terrible schools, nothing new or impressive out of the huge bureaucracy. All tax increases in most states are now just theft, plain and simple.bagoh20https://www.blogger.com/profile/10915174575358413637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717986195212622043.post-67415429944418857262016-11-03T20:39:10.490-04:002016-11-03T20:39:10.490-04:00I believe the appropriate cliche is, "B-b-b-b...I believe the appropriate cliche is, "B-b-b-b-but it's for the chil'run".edutcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15033144261502435196noreply@blogger.com
