Reading through most of the ballot propositions this year, I really wish there
was a choice other than Yes or No, something that meant "I like the idea, but
this proposal just doesn't solve the problem in the right way". I'm worried
that politicians will interpret "No" votes on 186 as meaning we don't care
about health care (I don't; I just don't think 186 is the answer); immegration
(has to be a federal solution; 187 isn't the answer); transit (185 doesn't
solve the problem correctly), and so on.
