Welcome to California Democracy

Welcome. This first posting is mainly to test the blog. The Beach Boys sang, "I wish they all could be California Girls," but I can't recommend California as a model for democracy, good government, or a model culture. We like to tell you about positive developments, but we also need to tell you what is wrong with California and the world so that we can all make decisions to make the world a better place.
We look at the law a lot. You don't have to be a lawyer to join in the discussion. Lawyers are mostly about what the law currently says. We discuss what the law should be; anyone can have an opinion about that. We certainly do.
We can't help but talk about the environment. We think the laws should do more to protect the environment. We think there should be an amendment to the Constitution that specifically gives Congress the right to pass laws that protect the environment.
We think that corporate power is one of the main reasons that the current laws are bad. We'll talk about that as long as you can stand to listen.
Again, welcome
