RE:"I think we're witnessing the last great days of the US of A.........the painful decline of what was once a great country!" Ted, the fat lady started singing 40 years ago! I guess I didn't hear her but maybe you're right. Let me tell you how I stand on the Davis recall... Basically I'm against it. The more I see of it, the more I agree. That will be a y/n question on the same ballot as the list of would-bes come the election in California. I think that's the way they are setting it up. Even if you say no, I think you can still vote for Arnold or whomever, just in case. I think if you vote 'no' on the recall, you can't vote for somebody else. What's to prevent this from happening everytime someone gets elected? You're absolutely right. Over the weekend, my German friends called and asked if it was legal legal. I said "yes"......they think its crazy and I agree. Anyway, after looking at Arnolds finances it's hard for anyone to say he's a lousy businessman. The guy is worth between $200M and $800M...everything from munis, to stocks to 40 pieces or Real Estate. No question Arnold is a smart businessman although those numbers make him look smarter than he is......remember he gets $20 million up front for each movie and then some profit is back ended. That's not being a smart businessman....that's Hollywood. I also think he's a nice guy.......saw him skiing with his kids once......looked to be a good father. I just don't think he's got the experience to run a state as complicated and as f*kked up as CA.
