Two items on the November ballot + gov

Prop 19 and Prop 23 are two important measures that appear on the November 2 2010 election.

Prop 23 is probably much more important for the health of our children and their children but Prop 19 is important because it will allow people who like to smoke pot...to grow pot....without the threat of being arrested.

It relaxes the situation and possibly opens the door for taxation.

Prop 23 Suspends Air Pollution Control Laws Requiring Major Polluters to Report and Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions That Cause Global Warming Until Unemployment Drops Below Specified Level for Full Year. The specified level is 5.5 %.

THIS IS SIMILAR TO THE OIL EXTRACTION TAX THAT FAILED IN THE 2006 ELECTION.
By similar I'm referring to BIG OIL COMPANIES that spent millions to defeat the tax and somehow convinced the California voter that it was a bad idea.

That defeat is still one of the most baffling defeats I have ever witnessed in the arena of political processes.

NOW THE BIGGEST POLLUTERS IN THE STATE ARE ONCE AGAIN ATTEMPTING TO ALTER AIR POLLUTION LAWS BY STATING THAT CALIFORNIA IS LOSING TOO MANY BUSINESSES AND THEREFORE THAT'S ONE OF THE PROBLEMS WITH OUR FISCAL SITUATION.

I SAY......LET THE BUSINESSES GET THE F..K OUT OF DODGE IF THEY CAN COMPLY WITH LAWS THAT WILL ENSURE THAT OUR CHILDREN'S CHILDREN WILL BE ABLE TO BREATHE WITHOUT THE FEAR OF CONTRACTING LUNG PROBLEMS.

BY THE WAY....AIR POLLUTION CAUSES A MYRIAD OF PROBLEMS BESIDES JUST LUNG ISSUES.

And it's also important to note that if you favor Prop 19 than you also should be careful how much cannabis you ingest into your lungs. One hit is fine.....no need to smoke the whole joint.

THE ARGUMENT THAT FAVORS LEGALIZING POT IS THE ARGUMENT THAT ONE RAISES WHEN ONE DISCUSSES THE HEALTH PROBLEMS OF POT VS ALCOHOL.

The amount of money spend to treat alcohol problems vs pot problems is extremely unbalanced.

The amount of deaths caused by alcohol vs pot is extremely unbalanced.

Prop 19 should pass and Prop 23 should fail....but I've seen this tune before and it might not go the way I think....or the way I want.

Concerning the Governor's race......

HOW CAN A PERSON WHO DIDN'T VOTE FOR 28 YEARS OF HER ADULT LIFE THINK THAT IT'S OK TO NOW RUN FOR GOVERNOR????????????

THAT ISSUE ALONE SHOULD DECIDE THE ELECTION....but then again maybe all the people who don't bother to vote will now vote because one of there own is running.

This election should prove to be very interesting.

I hope everybody studies Prop 23 and reaches a conclusion that future generations can be proud of.......

??????????

i find it ironic that you are in support of legalizing smoking certain materials but are against the air pollution issue because it'll mess up people's lungs.

I guess burning plants is better than burning other stuff at least when you burn this particular plant you stop giving a shit
