(Seriously, the gas compression company I was with for 10 years refused to do business in California, because they have wacky laws that -- if any business has a footprint in California, ALL of that business's locations are subject to California's labor laws --- it's downright nutty)

But that is exactly why the Founding Fathers designed it that way. They wanted a Republic, not a Democracy.
