DON'T CALL ME SIR!

Call me by the title I've worked so hard for - "Undisputed Superheavyweight Curling Champion of Fresno, California!"

Go Fresno!

In case anyone doesn't know, Fresno is a very conservative area. The Yes on 8 people have been out every day for the past two weeks on a random intersection holding up their stupid yellow signs.

I think Blankfist may be a little more leftist than he thinks, but then again, I think that's true about most of the country. He's just a fiscal conservative, which I don't consider a bad thing - on the contrary, fiscal conservatives keep liberal thought in check with a firm slap of the checkbook. There needs to be balance, don't get me wrong.

As far as cops supporting Prop 8, I'm not terribly surprised, as I find cops tend to vote as social conservatives. Most cops I know are registered Republicans. I'm a little saddened by their support of the prop.

I think Prop 1A is a good thing to vote yes on, because our public transportation infrastructure here in America is a goddamn joke. I've spent a little time in Europe, and I was amazed at the public transit options they have available. I got off the airplane in Schipol Airport, and went downstairs to catch the train to Haarlam - it was extremely easy to get to where we wanted. My girlfriend has spent some time in Japan and Australia, and learned how to navigate the bus and rail systems they offer quite easily. The bay area has one of the better public transit systems in the US, but even it is lacking compared to what I saw in towns a fraction SF's size in The Netherlands and Germany. The plan would be even better if Sacramento was included in list of major cities hit, but for Sharks fans living in SF and Fresno, this might help them catch a few Hockey games, which would be a neat, albeit somewhat indirect, economic stimulus.

Prop 2 I'm up in the air about. I'd like to think that here in California we have access to the best quality food in the world as it is.

Prop 3 would be nice, but the CA budget is strained pretty far as is. I'd love for the state to be able to afford it.

Prop 4 is something my girlfriend and I have disagreements about. She'd likely vote for it, but I'd of the mind that Doctor/Patient confidentiality needs to be implicitly extended to minors.

Prop 5 is a step in the right direction for drug law reform. Jail is no place for non-violent drug offenders.

Prop 6, the cops are lying outright about this being anything about "safe neighborhoods." A strong "No" from me.

Prop 7 I think I'm going to vote No on as well.

I think I've made my position on 8 pretty clear.

Prop 9 looks pretty bad and unnecessary. Prop 10 looks even worse. Both will be getting "No"s from me.

Prop 11, I'm not so sure about. I'm curious as to why the League of Women Voters are endorsing it (I know they're supposedly Non-partisan, but tend to be socially progressive), but nearly every other progressive organization opposes it. I'd have to review this one a little more, but I'm inclined to vote No.

Prop 12, I'd rather give veterans better educations than better loan rates. Our GI bill as it exists now is a joke, and is in dire need of updating. I think this is the whole "Teach a man to fish" issue, but the prop just wants to give out fish instead of fishing lessons. For every dollar we spent on the WWII-era GI bill, seven dollars came back in taxes from veterans who used their free-ride scholarships to become better educated, then used their educations to get better jobs (increased salaries meant increased incomes to tax, and the ones who started their own companies opened up more taxable revenue streams), which paid for bigger homes (more property tax). We desperately need something comparable for our veterans today. I can't say that giving better home loans to veterans isn't a good thing, I think it is, but I think providing them with a better education after they've served their country would be even better. I'll have to wait and weigh out what I'm gonna do with this one later.

Man, fuck Fresno....land of the IRS and nightly gang/crime blotters ....

Stupid f'ing knee jerk reaction law. It's illegal to talk, and yet it's perfectly legal to text message (except apparently in Fresno where they will take you in anyway). So instead of having half of your concentration on the road, now we have no concentration on the road as we key in our urgent messages about nothing. And still perfectly legal to do all of the things portrayed in the video.

Complete nonsense.

Love the jab at Fresno.

BlueGW, I'm curious, what do you think will happen to the price of food in this land if all illegal immigrants in this country are deported? Do you have any concept of just how dependent the produce industry is upon cheap, seasonal migrant labor? Salinas, Bakersfield, Oxnard, Fresno...these are all huge places in terms of production, and are all filled with illegal immigrants working jobs that few Americans will work for pay that few Americans will accept.

Prices are already higher due to the harsh, late-season freezes. If we were to suddenly gut the produce industry of its cheap labor, what do you think happens to the price of your food? Your juice? Your lawn. We haven't even mentioned the problems such a clear-out would have on the supply chain. All kinds of jobs are filled by people in this country illegally who are working for sub-par wages because the American public would rather have Every Day Low Prices and gripe about immigration than acknowledge they are dependent upon illegal labor and actually do something about it.

If you want to fix this, go after the corporations who make it attractive to come here by employing illegals. Remove the incentive. When you're done with that, reform the immigration policies that make legal immigration a tortuously long process. Your prices will rise, but without a reason to hop the fence, you'll have fewer illegals takin yer jorbs.

hehe...I laughed when I heard Fresno...one of my best friends lives there

...its those voilent games, my lord, these children should be out playing with their chums and practicing a language, or learning a new skill, not extorting their parents for electronics store,mob scenes!....Fresno!
