California Ballot Propositions, the Last 6

I’m going to do these out of order because Propositions 62 and 66 both deal with the death penalty in California. The two propositions are diametrically opposed in their approach with one repealing the death penalty and the other attempting to expedite the process for carrying it out.

Proposition 62 is a measure to repeal the death penalty in the State of California. We can lock them up and throw away the key, but we can’t kill them.

Proposition 66 is a measure to “mend not end” the death penalty. A prisoner sentenced to death would have 5 years for appeals with an appeals lawyer assigned on sentencing.

We’ve all heard all the arguments back and forth over the years and no one is going to change anyone’s mind. It feels like the freaking Presidential campaign. For me, I cannot elect to take someone’s life, and I know how hypocritical that really is because if someone hurt my babies I would likely kill them myself. I will vote my conscience and keep my fingers crossed that I never have to kill anyone. If I do I kind of hope it’s in a death penalty state because living in prison doesn’t sound that good to me.

Proposition 67 is a measure to ban those cheap plastic bags they give us at stores. Does anybody have a use for those besides killing wildlife? I have 6 plastic bags full of plastic bags and I’m afraid to throw them away even into the recycling bin for fear they’ll just get dumped in the ocean.

Cheap pumps from novelty stores will definitely get you pumped, but will break down eventually and may even cause impotency. * The corporate lifestyle has changed the click address now levitra online purchase entire scenario of treating impotence. It is important that you consult your doctor if you have had any heart problems (e.g., angina, chest pain, tablet sildenafil heart attack, angina or narrowing of the aortic valve, make sure you take it as and when directed to stay healthy. The GreenLight PVP Laser Procedure has been proven safe, effective and durable in clinical studies conducted over a five-year india cialis online period at many leading medical institutions across the world. Kamagra and its products like Kamagra jelly, Silagra sildenafil viagra and many more are available online. Proposition 65 is because of Prop. 67. If we ban those cheap plastic bags, the people who make those bags will have to make something else and that would be a bother so they’d like for us to punish the grocers not only by making them sell us paper bags for 10 cents each but then making them send the money to the state. They would have to store these bags, keep them dry, move them around, pass them out, and pay for selling them. No.

Yeah, there’s a Proposition 64, and it’s to legalize the sale of marijuana. There’s a lot of lipstick and a dress on that pig, but that’s the gist of it. It scares the heck out of me.

I may or may not have ever operated a motor vehicle under the influence of marijuana several years back, and, if I had, it might have scared me that, unlike having just one drink, a little of that was so disorienting. Having said that, it’s still hard to make a case for one thing being legal and the other not. Just be careful out there.

Heck no, we’re not done yet! There are still the down-ticket offices and the local measures. That’s where democracy lives is in the local issues.

One Response to California Ballot Propositions, the Last 6

    Oregon voted to legalize pot for recreational use and it does not look like it’s changed much here. People who wanted it always got it. We tried it after it became legal but between the cough and the fact we didn’t try much, it did not do anything. We were leery of using too much as unlike alcohol where we are experienced as to how much is too much, it’d take more experimenting with pot to know. I think it’s better legal with places to buy it who can regulate its potency and educate the user as to which type is best for their needs.

    On the death penalty, after serving on a jury, I’d never vote for it again even knowing how horrendous some murders are. Juries don’t get it all and the system is not set up to be sure truth comes out but that the rules are followed (even though they sometimes are not with the desire to win). I’d vote no if it comes up in Oregon again not because it bothers me that the state would take a life but because it might be the wrong one. But life has to mean life.
