    Ordinary Californians have been pushed around by unemployed medical marijuana advocates, surfers, nitwit actors, and Trotskyites for too long now, and it is high time for the nonsense to stop.

    This Proposition is a start in that direction, it will take a long time for California to return to industry and enterprise greatness, although Abe Lincoln and others had faith in the common sense of ordinary citizens, and so do I
