Because some of this is clearly the kind of grandstanding you can be prone to.
But I have to say, it looks like your argument againsst prop 1 reduces down to, "Vote against it because the rhetoric of its flyers is misleading and besides politicians will do what they want to do anyway," which really isn't a particularly responsible argument.
And although I support Initiative 1000, I don't think there's anything "duh" about it -- no more than any kind of policy around life and death. If you need evidence of that, go check out the current controversy around the death of Daniel James (I think I've got his name righht) in Britain, and the take on it from somebody like William Peace at badcripple.blogspot.com.
