| MarkDude | pleia2, ^^^ | 20:15 |
| MarkDude | :D | 20:15 |
| rww | pleia2: (re: twitter) I came to the conclusion a while back that everything in California causes cancer. | 23:38 |
| pleia2 | ignorance is bliss | 23:38 |
| pleia2 | I think every single building has one of those signs too | 23:38 |
| rww | WARNING: The thought processes used for ignorance may contain thoughts known to the State of California to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm. | 23:39 |
| pleia2 | I think it went like this: "you know this prop will mean we need to put labels on EVERYTHING because our threshold for danger is so low, right" "it will be good for the lolz" voter: "dangerous chemicals?! I want to know about those!" | 23:40 |
| rww | Someone should do a study on how much money California's proposition system has cost in total. | 23:40 |
| pleia2 | I think I read somewhere that props and other voter ammendments take up like 40% of the budget | 23:41 |
| pleia2 | I wonder why we're in so much debt :) | 23:42 |
| pleia2 | MJ made me read through all the voter stuff last time with him, it was the worst thing ever, it's very hard to be an informed voter here | 23:43 |
| pleia2 | but I get to go to the cool #1 fire station in SF to vote, so voting is cool | 23:43 |
| akk | It is hard to read through all that stuff. | 23:43 |
| akk | I bet not 1% of voters do. | 23:44 |
| akk | And the official summary often differs quite a bit from what's actually in the text of the proposition. | 23:44 |
| rww | pleia2: apart from my usual blaming of all the politicians, I blame the "spend money on this!" and "freeze taxes on this!" propositions for a lot of our problems, yes | 23:44 |
| pleia2 | not exaggerating, the booklets we got totalled about 200 pages | 23:44 |
| pleia2 | plus all the junk we get from prop people and candidates | 23:45 |
| akk | That goes straight to recycling. | 23:45 |
| pleia2 | yeah, here too | 23:45 |
| rww | None of my house is registered to vote (because we can't), so we don't get any of that :) | 23:45 |
| rww | i grab the booklets from the library and read them, though | 23:46 |
| pleia2 | for fun? | 23:46 |
| rww | being able to rant about things is fun :P | 23:46 |
| pleia2 | hehe | 23:46 |
