I'm not the most educated on politics, but it does seem ridiculous when people can't even name the Vice President.

Republican or Democrat... it's pointless if you're ignorant.
Agreed!

The only difference between CA and TX from that perspective is that "Right to bear arms" may be more important to many here than the Marijuana issue, since it wasn't up for a vote here. What gets me is that the CA law on controlled substances is overriden by federal law, regardless of any vote, so unless that was a vote for a constitutional amendment it was pointless.
