What irritates the shit out of me is that a bunch of adults and companies with huge amounts of money (and potential influence if they weren't so inept) got together and mounted the most retarded, ill-conceived effort ever to sway public opinion on a simple ballot measure in a single county of a single state which they all insist is the start of the undoing of an entire billion dollar industry.
It's like watching a group of adults try to put together a Mr Potato Head toy and they are forcing the nose into the ass, have arms where the ears are and 3 idiots are standing around eating the pieces and slobbering all over themselves - at the same time they come at you with this arrogant, condescending attitude that you should be supporting them.
Lets remember what this is. This is legislation to curb the spread of highly contagious and sometimes deadly disease in the work place. You can't be on a construction site without a hard hat (meeting OSHA specs), steel toed boots, jeans, gloves, safety glasses on your person, credentials, etc etc just to pop in and take a piss. But everyone wants to argue that its 100% OK to spray HIV on someones face - IN THE WORK PLACE (which is a highly regulated environment in every state) and really, its just nobodies business.
All of this is why JoeE, Ron Levi, RB et al realized way back when, that they needed to form a group (GIO or whatever they called it) to organize and fight in a meaningful way. Because everyone in this business with rare exceptions, are retarded. Of course, the awesome comedy of that experiment was that concept of throwing a bunch of narcissistic megalomaniacs and coke addicts into a room and expecting meaningful results, either.... ultimately demonstrating they are every bit a part of the problem they believed they were attempting to fight. This is Manwin today. A huge company with the potential to have huge influence. A company where they are obviously focused and have good management. Instead of leading the fight as they should, they do the bare, tax deductible minimum coupled with some self congratulating PR, followed by condescending forum posts.
If this industry can't get together to take on the country of LA and influence voting on a simple ballot measure... then kiss your fucking asses goodbye because the federal government is eventually going to bury you. This industry, its companies and its organizations was just fully exposed for being full of the weak, inept and borderline retarded fucktards that it is.
