>>>Well - you might have a point there...however I suspect that there will be more cops voting that drug dealers.
>>>Anyway it will be interesting to see how the vote goes. I'd really like to see it pass - and based on all the polls I'd seen the people of California seem to be for it. Once they police organizations, bible-tumpers, and pharmaceutical companies start hiring lobbyists and blow a few zillion dollars on a scare-campaign hopefully it will still pass.
