A New Constitution for California

since i have some time on my hands these days, i think i will set out to solve a HUGE problem: to rewrite the constitution for the state of california.

california is a messed up state, and like goldman sachs, is too big to fail. it is the 5th largest economy in the world, and while it might seem odd that i would take such a keen interest in the laws of a state that i have never lived in, there are some benefits to me for solving all of the state's problems. for starters, because california's economy is so large, the better off the state is, the easier it will become for me to find a job there (cough...zipcar...cough...call me!). actually, thats about it. i am motivated completely by self-interest.

just to give one example about how fucked up california's government is: i did a search to find the text of the state constitution. how is it that there is no place on the web that lists the constitution and all of its articles and amendments in one place? the best place is the state government link, but you have to click through each article independently.

que lastima!
