[Back in Black]

You folks in California need to realize that Flores and other STATISTS like him don't care what you think.. all the salient and wise arguments you can muster will end up in the waste bin. In fact they laugh at you behind their office doors. I have been there and done that and learned first hand in the pro 2nd amendment movement.

They believe in big government and the power of the state as absolute. They want you to be a peasant. They want themselves and their buddies to be the "nobility". Examples such as onerous and unconstitutional and indeed fascist gun control, Nazi or Stalinist-like restrictions on your freedom of movement such as "roadblocks" supposedly to check for drunk drivers, but used for every other intrusive purpose as well... and a hundred other similar issues I could bring up. The place is now intolerable to me, actually, as previously stated. I was born there but watched the place implode. CIAO, Cali...

Part, but only part of your "mechanical" problem is a full time legislature in California. This creates mutants like Flores (yes, alien mutants) that actually believe they and their constant changes to your life are ESSENTIAL. The worst of them are, after a few months of the intoxicating power given them, possessed in my opinion. Here in Washington they keep trying to become full time statists, but so far the people here have opposed it thank God. This means the legislators have to go home most of the year and live under the same laws they create. And work or run their personal business amongst the very people they pass the laws over.

As far as the increasing Orwellian state of existance spreading everywhere,.. I would say, Same as it ever was. History repeats itself they do say. I do doubt that 1776 will repeat itself at this time, however much I wish it were otherwise.
