California Legislature Declares "Cuss-Free" Week

shewfig writes "The California legislature, which previously tried to ban incandescent light bulbs, just added to the list of banned things ... swear words! Fortunately, the measure only applies for the first week of March, and compliance is voluntary — although, apparently, there will be a 'swear jar' in the Assembly and the Governor's mansion. No word yet on whether the Governator intends to comply."

The reforms California needs are fundamental changes to the way the government is structured. Right now, the populace can vote huge spending projects with 50% + 1 vote via referendum, but the legislators cannot raise taxes to pay for those projects without a 2/3 vote, which are politically impossible to achieve.
