So Giancarlo if someone disagrees with you, they just don't know enough? That's how your posts come across to me. Perhaps not your intent, but my perception and my perception is my reality. Anyway, I didn't attack Arnold, however he has attacked me as a state employee. If you don't understand that, then perhaps you aren't that well informed regarding his moves to take away pay, benefits and pensions of hard working state employees. I now enough about the props to know that we are about to go BILLIONS in debt and I have no confidence that anything real will get done. If past practices continue, it will be barren at best. However, the majority of Californians agreed with you so they have spoken. Only provided my opinions which is no less valid than yours is to you.

Giancarlo, You should be proud of the work you put into this, I'm sure you put a lot into it. Hopefully you haven't taken my opinion as a personal attack on your elected gov or on you, it's just my thoughts, opinion and experience. I agree that Arnold has changed a bit this year on a lot of stances. But I don't think he's altogether TOO friendly to LGBTs; however, like I said in my earlier post it could be a LOT worse in this state. I think we have it better than most, not perfect, but better. Baby steps I guess. The tax thing was great, but he has vetoed several bills that would have benefited us much. Let's see what he does in the next 4 years. Hopefully he won't change back to where he was last year. Time will tell.
