On a separate issue, the reason the majority of voters went against prop 23 was NOT because of a well reasoned, thought out process. It was due to an emotional response to a series of calculated mis-truths (oh what the h**l, lies) such as this:

Babies on inhalers! You've got to be ****ing me. That has NOTHING to do with AB32 and carbon dioxide! A baby on an inhaler is doing this due to sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide, NOT CARBON DIOXIDE, give me a f'ing break.

Oh man, images of smoke stacks spewing water vapor! Evil texas oil companies! Babies on inhalers! Prop 23 must be bad because of this, right?

And the voters fell for it.
