Yeah, trying to figure out who Mercury wanting it means people are going to get screwed is more of a side thing.
The fact that I don't think it is appropriate for the proposition process is the main reason I'd vote no (and would even if it could clearly be shown that this is in every way a good idea).
For me to vote yes on a proposition it has to either be:
A) Something that can only be done through proposition; or,
B) A correction of a great moral failing in this state (such as the various gay marriage and civil union votes over the years).
So far as I know, 17 is not A and it definitely isn't B. Me voting yes on a proposition is a high hurdle even if I support the goal.
