This Is Exciting, It Is Bold And

I Understand We Have To Keep A Significant Amount Of Fossil Fuel In The Ground. I`m Committed To That. But I`m Not Going To Just All Of A Sudden Try To Stop The Cars Of California Or To Increase Dramatically The Number Of Ships Carrying Oil Into The State When We Already Have Our Own Production.

The Farmers Markets Were Another Step To Giving People An Opportunity To Take More Power Over Their Own Lives-and Also To Provide Another Outlet For Organic Produce. That Is Important Because The Production And Distribution Of Food Is Increasingly Being Monopolized And Controlled By Large Corporate Structures, Large Financial Structures.

The Corporation Is Not A Person; It Is A Legal Fiction Backed Up By Guns And Police And Jail Cells And Taxing Authorities And The Regulators Called Government.

Basically, If You Have Above-average Intelligence, You Have Common Sense And You Can Speak In Front Of A Camera And To A Crowd, You Can Govern The State.

Were I To Stop Oil Production, We`d Have To Import It From Iraq And From Caracas, Venezuela Or From North Dakota Where The Environmental Standards Are Much Lower, On Trains That Have Already Proven Themselves Unsafe, Or By More Ships That Are Causing Significant Pollution In The World. It`s Just Really Dumb.
