I apologize for the State of California

I am embarrassed by, and ashamed of, many of the decisions, laws, jury/judicial decisions, and trends of the State of California. I apologize on behalf of all the other Californians (usually the minority) who feel the same way:

Instead of assessing a surcharge to items which can potentially pollute (like was done for bottles and cans) and then let the people choose for themselves, instead California government usually decides that it knows what is best for its "subjects" and completely outlaws items such as plastic bags in supermarkets, while mandating the use of seat belt and motorcycle/bicycle helmet laws,
(which I ALWAYS use, but don't believe should be mandated by law),

(I'm all for LEGAL immigration (even increasing it) for those who wish to wait their turn to enter the country though legal channels, assimilate into American culture, learn English, and be law abiding citizens.)

This list could go on forever. Check the Internet for more.
