Daily Nexus, 18 Oct 2010 – ATTENTION: If you have changed houses since your last time voting, you must re-register today, or else it might be your fault if weed doesn’t become legal in two weeks. It’s a piece of cake: Google "California election" and use the top Web site to fill out your name, then print it and mail it. If you bring it to the Daily Nexus office before 4:20 p.m., I’ll even give you a stamp and mail it for you. I won’t presume to tell you who to choose for governor or congressman, and I won’t claim to have enough information to make a public stand for any of the ballot propositions, except for one. Proposition 19 is a wise financial decision for the state of California, and it is every American’s right to challenge the federal authority on drug policy when its science is clearly flawed. As a corollary, Measure T – a total ban on marijuana dispensaries within the city of Santa Barbara – is a silly piece of legislation that represents no rational economic viewpoint, but only the hopeless will of mean old people to control the supreme glory of the free market.
