The California legislature is out of control. We need sane people to run for office, but who wants to work with the people in place? I mean, really, do you want to spend your time arguing with Scott Wiener about gender affirmation? Whether 12 year olds should be able to consent to medical treatment without their parents’ knowledge or consent? You might as well spend your days talking to the crazy people pushing around carts in San Francisco.

The sane people in CA are making oodles of money in software or biotech, or are hanging out on the beaches smoking weed. The crazies go into politics.

I think you would have a more intelligent conversation with the street people.

I think he was talking about street people in that "people pushing around carts" . I'm thinking "people pushing around carts" are more interesting (and smarter) then most in the California legislature , LOL ?

William F. Buckley observed: "I would rather be governed by the first 1,000 people listed in the phone book than by the faculty members from an Ivy League University." The people of California would be better off being governed by a random selection of people than by the idiots they have elected.

They're idiots themselves. You have the government you allow and deserve.

Maybe the street people should run for office, too.
