Well... I'll tell ya hedgetrimmer, It gets disheartening that when Leslie was a State Senator, he represented 13 Sierran Counties all by himself, with only one vote in the State Senate. Meanwhile, LA County has 13 State Senators to out-vote the one we share with 13 other Counties.

This, of course, is made possible by another "Rural Cleansing" decision about 45 years ago in the US Supreme Court, sneeringly called "Cows Don't Vote!" So this unbalanced representation of "One Person, One Vote" in both state houses makes one know that the minute the blue county city slickers decide to place a cloud over the entire collection of private Sierran landowners in a radical social engineering law... It's all over!

That's why I instantly knew when Carry Okie, or somebody pulled that link from Arnold's campaign website over here, that these activists were gonna git the gold mine and we were gonna git the shaft! Leslie knew it too, that's probably why he hoped his move to moderate the Laird Law would wake Arnold up to the fact that Dufus Davis had already vetoed this crap for being too expensive and stupid, EVEN FOR HIM TO SIGN!!!

Even though I'm angry at Leslie for not taking a more direct stand and explaining these things to Arnold and pursuading him, I really realize that probably wouldn't have worked, either! Politics ain't bean-bag, as you know, especially when the deck was stacked against rural America years ago!!! (Yes, they shoulda impeached Earl Warren and I ain't no Bircher!)

Now that it's gotten this far, it's gonna be like climbing Everest to overcome the musclebound Governor's passion, unfortunately for Sierra-Nevada property owner's who will certainly now be only "renters!" May CA's Constitution, Article 1, Section 1, RIP!!!
