I would normally be in favor of the labeling too, but I have issues with the proposition as written. It just seems sloppy.

California people, are you thinking yes or no on prop 37 (the GMO food labeling)?
Yes, though it is a flawed bill and has gaping loopholes.
And they are pushing the FDA to start selling GMO salmon, and if that gets the OK I am sure they already have GMO beef and GMO chicken lined up.
Dairy and meat are the two big exceptions. Given how much grain goes to feed animals? Problem.
But I think it's better to have labeling. GMO foods have been around for a long time and we're eating them every day. I also think that they aren't intrinsically bad or unhealthy. The bill will not going to magically make them go away but I always side on an informed populace.

Our wings are not tired.
It's very sloppy. And I'm generally pro-information but this proposition is a definite "no" for me. I'd write more but I hate writing on my iPhone.

I think I am going to be a no too. I'd rather wait for a better version than have this one in place.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
No on 37. Gmo isn't really a risk, and the point of the prop is to create an extortive private right of action for plaintiff's attorneys.

Well, not any KNOWN risk... unintended consequences do so love to pop up.
(That said, not being a Californian I have no informed opinion as whether its more effective to pass a poorly constructed measure and subsequently improve it or wait for a well written one. Yeesh. I do not envy any of you.)

The hell? Why were they not being let out? Last I checked, there's a pretty short list of people with the authority to detain others against their will.
On another matter, I'm seeing reported just in the last day or so that Bloomberg (the news service, as apposed to the NY Mayor personally) has got hold of Romney's past tax returns, and he did in fact avoid paying any taxes for over ten years. For election-watchers in the US:
1. Does this story appear to be true?
2. How much play is it getting?
