[quote=Anonymous]This is a ballot initiative, and you should always be very suspicious of ballot initiatives. Usually things become ballot initiatives because the people behind it tried to go through the normal legislative channels and were turned down. They went to the mayor and our uber liberal city council and they both said "hell no." They probably didn't initially take no for an answer, and they tried and tried and tried. When all the elected people turn you down for the ninth time, your last resort to go to the ballot initiative where you'll just have some dumb bumper sticker slogans about why your idea isn't stupid and pray that voters don't think more than two seconds about whether it's a good idea. But remember: the only reason why this is a ballot initiative is because our elected leaders thought this was a stupid idea. [/quote]
