A SMOKY SLIPPERY SLOPE

First, it was the argument that gay marriages would bring a bonanza
in tax money to California in marriage licenses and gay tourism; now,
it is the legalization of marijuana. I have a better idea: Legalize
robbery. The more money the robber gets in a holdup, the more money
the state gets in taxes. Also, taxing stealed cars, the robber keeps
the car after paying the taxes to the state. Imagine the amount of
money that'd be saved in police services. Since we're at it, let's
also legalize the "Interspecies Marriage Act" that would allow a
woman to marry her dog or a man to marry his goat. Another bonanza of
tax money for the state!

It is this bunch of cowardly and degenerate politicians from the Bay
Area, as well as the constituents who elect them to serve in
Sacramento, who are coming with this kind of nutty proposals, like
the ones in the May 19 election, because of their cowardliness to tax
the corporations that do business in California.
