Kudos Mad Miles.

Ditto here. I agree that Prop 37 is not perfect legislation. But considering that if Prop 37 looses it is a defeat for labeling of our foods and a win for Mighty Monsanto....

thank you for your thoughtful and eloquent post, rosa.

I wish this could be more clear particularly if P, G & E already stuck a smartmeter on my gas meter when I wasn't there, and I don't want it there. If I don't do anything, it will just stay there.

I think a lot of you will like this one. We are calling the utility bully's bluff as a mass movement. :idea:
