I'm sure you didn't, but I'm not talking about you with my post, but the California voters as a whole. The last election produced a guy who promised to hold special elections if necessary to achieve the reforms he proposed.
Then when presented with that actually happening, the same collective group of people said "no, never mind" and "isn't this a waste of money?"
I'm sure it is just because most people didn't actually pay any attention the first time around but either way it doesn't make the governor look like an idiot, it makes the voters look like idiots.
Though I am sad to see that the teachers union didn't get the neutering they so richly deserve (even if I didn't vote yes on that proposition). At least it was fun watching them whine while it lasted. Now they can go back to destroying our children feeling all empowered and impervious. (I think teachers individually are wonderful things but that the unions have done more to damage education in this country than anything else save one thing.)
