California's voting system is a mess. But I used to have my own system for deciphering the propositions and what they really mean. I could just look at the bottom of the ad to see who sponsored it. If it was some corporation, I was likely against it. It worked pretty well last election.
But this year they've gotten slicker. Everyone is hiding behind made-up organizations created solely to prevent voters from discovering where the money is coming from and who is behind their ideas. I fear they will always be one step ahead of me and ultimately triumph in making me abandon the process altogether.
To cheer us all up, look at this ultra-cool, extremely long Guggenheim exhibit on YouTube:

Don't forget to vote, while it still makes sense!
