Just wait a few years for this new law to become fully functional. You will see Indians coming out of the woodwork, claiming that every piece of land has some Indian significance to it. I can hear it now, "Well, let's see here Mr. Whiteman. You can't put your factory here and you can't build your homes over there because that land was once walked on by our ancestors. However, if you care to provide us with a $10 million dollar contribution for our pain and suffering, well, us Native Americans might just consider looking the other way."

As a long time California resident, each day makes it clearer to me that we will have to forsake the Golden State in our retirement years which are just around the corner. This state is destined to become a third world habitat. The question is when all the producing people get the hell out, who will pay the taxes to support all of the freeloaders?

I'm in the same position as you. But this is the camel's nose under the tent. If this is allowed in CA, it'll only be a brief time before it's the law of the land. America is being deconstructed and it's starting in the CA legislature.

You are right on with this assessment and the cynicism is appropriate. No group has ever played the sacred site card like the American tribes. Hell, they even invoked it when it was proposed to place Hubbell's ashes on the moon.
