Child Abuse
The Wall Street Journal on Tuesday, April 4, 2023 published a letter from a Samuel Metz, MD of Portland Oregon. This supposed doctor apparently aided his adolescent child's sexual mutilation. I would love for a district attorney to prosecute him, and his wife and any supposed doctor that participated in the abjectly horrible transgression against children. It is high time we treated these perverts for what they are. Children should be protected and counseled until they reach the age of majority. Once they are past the age of 21, if they want to mutilate themselves so be it, but the average adolescent cannot be trusted to make this kind of decision, and any adult that would allow it, is sick. Any adult that would participate in it should be thrown under the nearest jail and forgotten about.
2022 Arizona Ballot Initiatives
Pretty interesting some of the advertising around the state propositions. In particular proposition 132 ads in Arizona are disingenuous at best. Here is My take:
Proposition 128
Diverting funds from things found to be illegal or unconstitutional. Basically makes it easier for the legislature to use the funds elsewhere if they can't use them for their intended purpose.
Soft Yes
Proposition 129
An attempt to keep ballot initiatives to a more narrow focus. I think this is a good idea overall
Yes
Proposition 130
Clerical cleanup of property tax exemptions.
Yes
Proposition 131
Create a Lt Governor position. Just what we need, another bureaucrat!
No
Proposition 132
“This amendment would mean that moving forward any initiative or referendum to approve a tax would need a super-majority, 60% YES vote to become law. Currently, a new tax on the ballot only needs a simple majority to be approved.”
This has been sold by ads as blocking pay for police and firefighters. What a crock of malarky.
Yes – Hell yes, if it's a good idea to raise some tax, 6 of 10 in the legislature ought to think so before we do it.
Proposition 209
Ahh, - nother emotional tugger. All the poor people going broke over medical debt. I'm just not sure this is the correct response for the problem.
No
Proposition 211
Campaign contribution disclosures. Personally I think you should disclose where every penny came from. This law is not the right way to do that.
No
Proposition 308
College financial aid for illegal aliens. No way. If you want to be in the US do it legally. I have too many friends that have done it the right way. If you do it the right way, it just isn't a problem. Follow the damn law.
No
Proposition 309
Strengthening voter id requirements. As a general rule I think if you are too stupid to figure out how to vote, you probably shouldn't be voting. It's just not that difficult.
Yes, but let's not over do it. See: Suppressing The Vote
Proposition 310
Funding for more “Fire District Safety”. Vote no on new sales taxes.
No
