With all the crap lately about Arizona's new immigration law, SB1070, and all the cites that are getting on the 'boycott' band wagon, I have not seen anyone of them thinking it through except the head of the Arizona Corporation Commission.
Recently, the city of Los Angeles jumped on the 'boycott Arizona' band wagon. The city council voted to cancel all contracts with the state of Arizona and probably also restricting travel for official city business.
But, like all these boy-cotters, they failed to think it through and have become big fat Hippocrates. Why do I say they are Hippocrates? Because, thanks to Gary Pierce, the head of the Arizona Corporation Commission, for pointing out how silly these cities are; specifically Los Angeles.
"If an economic boycott is truly what you desire, I will be happy to encourage Arizona utilities to renegotiate your power agreements so Los Angeles no longer receives power from Arizona-based generation," wrote Arizona Corporation Commissioner Gary Pierce to Los Angeles Mayor Antonio R. Villaraigosa, in a May 18 letter.
"I am confident that Arizona's utilities would be happy to take those electrons off your hands," he wrote.
According to Gary Pierce, the city of Los Angeles gets 25% of its electricity from Arizona. So, when the city voted to cancel all contracts and business with Arizona, did they also mean their electricity? Either they were too stupid to realize this fact or they were just hoping no one would bring it up. The first reason wouldn't surprise me. All these boy-cotters are idiots. I am sure that some lean towards the second reason. In either case, are they willing to put their money, or electricity, where their mouth is? I don't think so. They are all just typical liberals. And all liberals are all about putting on a show hoping to get more voters. But in this case, I think they are going to end up with egg on their face along with all the other boy-cotters.
This is One Man's Opinion.
