HORN TOO BUSY TO FILE FORMS

What the heck is the matter with you people, bothering the great Bill 
Horn with all these petty complaints about what bureacratic forms he 
did or didn't file before having work done on his home? His own home, 
for goodness sake, built with his money that he earned.

It's hard to see what right the government could possibly have to 
tell people what to do on their own land. Even if he did do the work 
without the proper paperwork being filed, that's all it is, paperwork.

Look, he's a busy guy, Bill Horn. Only 24 hours in a day, and when a 
man's got as many campaign donors, fellow business owners and other 
high-falutin' types to schmooze, sometimes there just isn't enough 
time to get all the little details just right.

So he's filling out the forms now, OK?

The way the media's acting, though, you'd think the man was behaving 
in a really despicable manner, trying to operate a medical marijuana 
clinic or something. Those people are the real threat to law and 
order, you know ---- but does the media even investigate them? No, 
those socialist wackos just fixate on some idiotic ballot measure 
passed by a bunch of potheads and hippies. Like we really want our 
government obeying every moronic thing the voters approve.

Those people, the ones running the medical marijuana clinics, they 
show nothing but contempt for proper authority and rule of law. 
"Medical," my rear end! How many of those "doctor's recommendations" 
do you think are even real? I was glad to see that big bust of the 
pot clinics. How many of them filled out all their forms? Huh?

That's what I thought.

So yeah, Horn didn't fill out the proper forms for a trailer a hired 
hand was living in on his ranch a couple of years back, either, but 
it's not like he was trying to pull a fast one like these pot 
dispenaries, going through the motions of obeying the law so they can 
do illegal stuff.

The law is whatever the county Board of Supervisors says it is. What 
Bill Horn says it is.

The voters elected Bill Horn to run things, OK? If he says pot 
dispenaries aren't welcome in San Diego County, then by gum, they're 
not welcome. And if he decides building permits are an unreasonable 
imposition on a man's right to do what he wants with his own 
property, then that's what they are. Unless he changes his mind. Then 
they aren't.

Anyway, you people should be happy you have a man as great as Bill 
Horn to run your county for you. Although I don't mind saying that 
term-limits thing has me confused. I mean, the voters love Bill Horn 
- - why would they pass a rule that he can't be re-elected after two more terms?

I'm going to have to wait to see whether Bill Horn thinks term limits 
are real or not.
