I have had a number of listeners write in to ask my opinion on the various propositions that are being voted upon in the next election.  These seemingly innocuous second-level issues can actually have a major impact on the culture, especially when one considers that legislation passed in California, the seventh largest economy in the world and the largest exporter of entertainment media, will echo across the continent.

So I want to point you to a set of very handy guides created by our hard-working friends at Young Progressive Majority that offer a breakdown of the issues and a guide to what the propositions actually mean:
