All ballot initiative brought us when we lived in Florida is higher educational expenditures and a "super train" that no one will ride once completed. Thankfully, the conservative legislature down there has stalled the latter.

Ballot initiatives=Rule by the Sheeple

Worst of all was using the Florida constitution , and it's amendment mechanism, as a way to regulate the size of pig pens. While one expects the animal rights whacko to be crazy, and for the majority of the newspapers in the state to support whatever is the socialist cause je jour, when the citizens vote for such degradation of their constitution - one must fear for the future.

If all that the Florida socialists had fast talked the voters into was the high speed rail, and the classroom limitation amendments, I would be far less worried about the future of my home state.

The old "No mans life, liberty, or property is safe while the legislature is in secession" didn't include "Or while the Sheeple are in the voting booth."

Jefferson was right. An informed electorate is the only safe repository of power. And in the Sheeples Republic of FloriDUH the electorate is woefully underinformed, misinformed, or well propagandized.
