A colossal waste of time, money, and the public's attention span is underway in the golden state.

Casey Tolan of the Mercury-News reports:


--- Quote ---For the first time since before the Civil War, voters across California will decide in November on a proposal to split up the Golden State – potentially remaking it into three new states.

An initiative dividing California, pushed by Silicon Valley venture capital investor Tim Draper, received enough signatures to qualify it for the November ballot, the Secretary of State's office confirmed Tuesday afternoon.

Supporters of the radical plan submitted more than 600,000 signatures, and a random sample projected that enough are valid that the measure can go before voters, setting up a campaign that is sure to attract a carnivalesque atmosphere and only-in-California chuckles from across the country.

I don't consider this a colossal waste of time.  Rather, I think it's a step in the right direction.  California is a fractured state with large parts of it conservative people suffering under a clueless liberal government. 

It probably won't pass the first time out but if it makes a decent showing that might cause the liberal section to think ... if they are capable of doing so.

Sanguine:
It's going to be very interesting.
