=o= Well, for starters, Prop 187 does absolutely nothing to stop
"uncontrolled immigration into California."  Even if it did, to
support it for ecological reasons would be to avoid dealing with
the root causes of the problem.

=o= The Sierra Club's opposition to Prop 187 joins their
opposition to NAFTA as a refusal to avoid tackling the real
problems.  They got this one right.

=o= Incidentally, I'm not afraid to state my opinion on this
matter openly, without cowering behind an anonymous server:
If you voted for Prop 187, you are an idiot or a hypocrite.
Support for Prop 187 is hypocritical brain-dead NIMBYism at
its contemptible worst.
