My endorsements (so far) on the California propositions:

1A - No.  Great idea, lousy implementation, totally absurd CBA analysis by proponents.
2 - Yes.  I love chickens.
3 - Yes.  I love sick children.
4 - No.
5 - Not sure yet.  Initial yes, then leaned towards no, leaning back to yes.  Most research put into this one so far.
6 - No.  Good idea, but no need to mandate it.
7 - No.  Silly, semantically based initiative that is unnecessary and expensive.
8 - No.  Let's let government protect our borders and food supply, etc., and stay out of our homes.
9 - Not sure yet.  Same thoughts as 5.
10 - No.  Unnecessary and expensive.  Private sector issue.
11 - No.  Why would you want unqualified, unelected people making decisions about future elections?
12 - Yes.  No brainer.


More electoral college rationales:

- 3000 political appointees who will be generally speaking younger, more centrist and less theological in policymaking

- Foreign audiences will be greatly inspired and allow for possibility of renewal of respect of country from afar

- Qualified VP

- Ability to hear differing points of view and then make best decision in the moment

- Supreme court nominations of at least one and possibly three


Great not good song and video of the day:

31 Today by Aimee Mann

If you think this video is hilarious, as you well should, then check out a prior recommendation, Life and Times of Tim.  If not, then definitely not, but the song is great regardless.
