My older daughter feels strongly against prop 1. She said it is a solution in search of a problem and that passage would just slow down an already overloaded judicial system. I think I'm going to switch to a no on that one. Knowledge is Good -- Emil Faber |

The fairest tax isn't a sales tax it's an income tax. Having been pretty broke several times, that's not the time for the state to be collecting their vig. It's different when I have money coming in then when I don't. Tax capital gains at the same rate as regular income. 3. Texas had their Enron, and now Nevada wants theirs ? Here in Az., same thing, everybody not in the power business thinks they can do it better. 4. Who spends the majority of the money on medical devices? I think it's medicare/medicade. It's a constant feedback loop. Charge uncle Harry for his dialysis and the fed pays the state, but the fed has to raise income taxes to pay for the increase. It's easy to say the guy on oxygen should pay tax on his oxygen, but he doesn't really have a choice. Again, the necessary tax should have been collected already at the place where the money was created, instead of at the bottom of the chain where people don't have a choice. 5."Automatic voter registration through the DMV." Sure, and then privatize the DMV. Also, voters should be able to sell their votes, same as politicians. 6. "Require energy providers to be 50% renewable" Depends on what is claimed to be renewable. Calif. has already replaced windfarms that never paid for themselves the first time. Solar panels start breaking down the day they are installed. I hope you include nuclear energy on the list of renewables, and geothermal. But wind or solar, pfft. They are raptor killers. If you want to build your own renewable energy, nothing is stopping you. But don't vote an increased expense on everyone else, including those that can't afford the increase like folks on fixed incomes. That's what pollster's do to, select the answers available to skew results. lol The last official act of any government is to loot the treasury. GW |

Your older daughter sounds mature. Most younger people are instinctively for more rights. |

Not from what I have seen. I more see them begging for rights to be taken away. Mostly free speech and gun rights. The President is a fink. |

Good point. However, I think that the Wizard's daughter is under age 21. I have not seen too many people that age that were worried about an overloaded judicial system. |

She's exactly 21. She initially intended to study law, which may explain why she seems to know a fair bit about it. Knowledge is Good -- Emil Faber |

To make an intelligent decision you would have to know if and how the current victim right's are insufficient. You have the right: To know the status of the case in which you are involved To be free from intimidation or dissuasion To know when your impounded property may be released. To receive a witness fee for lawful obedience to a subpoena. To understand the existing victim compensation laws and receive compensation if applicable. To a secure waiting area, which is not available to the defendant or his family, when you are at court. To know when the defendant is released from custody before or during trial (upon written request). To know when the offender is released from prison (upon written request). |

While I see the appeal of your rewrite, the point of the justice system should be neither. After all, if you are falsely accused of a crime you'll want the justice system to be robust, treat you fairly and hopefully render you proper justice and not convict you with uneven balance weighted towards victims. One would think, right? (no scoffing allowed at our imperfect justice system, but we should still keep hammering for ideals) You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |
