For 15 Years...

I have been calling for this...

Do you support or oppose having a New York State Constitutional Convention in which delegates propose changes to the State Constitution for voters to approve or reject?
Support: 63% | Oppose: 25% | Don't know: 11%

And now other people are getting on my bandwagon, at least according to the New York Times...

The problem with this is that now that someone, probably someone with a good government group, or someone seeing this as an 'academic' exercise, is going to demand direct democracy in the form of ballot initiatives and while I fail to trust the most elected officials, I trust the public even less. 

I spoke with a number of people about limiting the franchise of those who do not have a stake in the long term prosperity of society (told you I was embracing fascism, y'all) and I was able to get some agreement (though FAU thought I was off my proverbial rocker).

What we need is a strong governor, a unicameral legislature and real and complete tort reform.

Once that happens, my larger plan of eliminating most of the entitlements for Upstate NY (does every county need a SUNY?) that suck up my tax dollars will go into effect.

Join me, or be lost in the purges.
