No wonder California's in the mess it is with fiscal overruns to the turn over 

34 billion dollars. Californian's need to take a back seat and look at what is 

going on. You con not give every smoker who dies from lung cancer more than a 

billion dollars, if my memory recalls correctly one court did (I'am sure that 

was overturned). Likewise you can not regulate everything, one of those things 

that can not be regulated IS GOOD OLD COMON SENSE.
