Elections

I do really love the Bay Area. But I swear it is full of some wacko left-wing crazy people. And I say that as someone who is probably one of them. But seriously, where else would a ballot question such as this one (ballot Measure G, a stream-of-consciousness message about loving nature submitted by a woman who wears burlap and paints her face with chocolate) be allowed not only onto the ballot, but most likely passed, and for no other reason than 'why not'? Read the ballot initiative's language and try to make sense of it:

"Vote for Bolinas to be a socially acknowledged nature-loving town because to like to drink the water out of the lakes to like to eat the blueberries to like the bears is not hatred to hotels and motor boats. Dakar. Temporary and way to save life, skunks and foxes (airplanes to go over the ocean) and to make it beautiful."

Huh?
