35. This is why I hate the initiative system.

Stupid crap like this. Sure, simple majority to just totally rewrite the entire damned constitution.

What do THEY use it for:
Overturn all social safeguards currently enjoyed
Underfund the state coffers and run it into the ground
Piss on everyones civil liberties

What do we use it for:
banning the sale of horse meat and other animal rights initiatives

We need a constitutional convention for the state.
