limo liberals take over mendo world; already trying to overturn G

[click image]

And so many hipnecks have been forced out by skyrocketing real estate prices and job losses that the shits just may succeed. I have friends combing Mendocino County with petitions... but.... Too many get too rich on high prices, and too many feel too clean while taking out the little guy at the knees.

I have an ongoing disagreement with Old Uncle Dave about the legalization of pot. Having lived near or in the middle of the Emerald Triangle my whole life, I happen to know that growing dope is the only way a lot of people get their kids through college, or, indeed, hold on to their property in Mendocino and Humboldt Counties at all. If it's legalized, that ability is gone. Period. Measure G protected these people, except where it could be shown their pot was not for their own use, but the authorities always have bigger fish to fry. So, essentially, Measure G was saying we didn't want those people sliding down into the ranks of the poor, but we still wanted the huge growers who kill people who stumble across their crops to get busted for it. Sensible compromise.

Decent, even.

But the cleaner-than-thou-because-richer-than-thou are trying to put an end to it. They are outnumbering the rest of us in Mendocino now.... This is NOT progress. This is NOT "progressive", as some of these people like to CALL themselves. It's regressive and elitist... Republican.
