So, the recall.

I know Greg's going to respond with his thoughts on it, but I'm going to pretend like I don't know that's coming and just write my personal thoughts on the matter.

Here's the thing: A recall's a bad idea, no matter how bad the things Gray Davis has done. Have we caught him doing anything illegal yet? Nope. Sure, he's done some things people don't agree with, but what politician hasn't? Do people not like him? Apparently. So you don't reelect him. That's what you do.

If we can recall a governor, can we recall a congressman? Can we recall the President? (Actually, that bit doesn't sound that bad, but still...) How fast do politicians have to answer to us? In a place where we were complaining about term limits not even a decade ago, now we want to be able to pull our politicians out when they make one decision we don't agree with.

It scares me a little, a world where snap judgment becomes policy and people can change the world overnight because they don't agree with one thing...

And besides... do we really want the Terminator as governor? It certainly makes us look even sillier than Minnesota did...
