(For once, the man actually makes sense)
BILL NUMBER: SB 105
VETOED DATE: 09/07/2011
To the Members of the California State Senate:
I am returning Senate Bill 105 without my signature.
This measure would impose criminal penalties on a child under the age
of 18 and his or her parents if the child skis or snowboards without
a helmet.
While I appreciate the value of wearing a ski helmet, I am concerned
about the continuing and seemingly inexorable transfer of authority
from parents to the state. Not every human problem deserves a law.
I believe parents have the ability and responsibility to make good
choices for their children.
Sincerely,
Edmund G. Brown Jr.

Won't somebody please think of the children!?

Oh no, someone in California with common sense. Maybe there is hope yet.

"Not every human problem deserves a law."
I'm stunned by that concept.
Everything should be either illegal or mandatory.
Hopefully, we will move more progressively toward that goal.

I think this tagline should be carved in marble and mounted above the entrance to every state and Federal legislative building.

It was "Butterflies and Unicorns" Jerry Brown. Don't get your hopes up too much.

A better idea would be to have it tattooed mirror-reversed on the forehead of every legislator in the nation, so that they see it every morning in the mirror :laugh:.

Several anti-2A bills have reached Governor Brown's desk in the past few days, so we'll soon see if he's serious about vetoing unnecessary legislation.

Read the letter again. (I missed this too the first time.) That was written by Governor Moonbeam himself. I am *shocked* -- but in a good way, for once.

Best thing 'Moon Eyes' did was dump Linda Ronstadt....

Oddly enough, Moonbeam has made sense on rare occasions.
This is one of them.

It is only temporary insanity.

"Not every human problem deserves a law" if we could use the same logic in NY! unfortunatly, the first kid who gets hurt will result in him being sued. that'll teach 'im to use logic.
wasn't jerry a proponent of a flat tax when he ran for president?
