Davis v. Newton Reality to Be Final Court of Appeal This summer, California Governor Gray Davis is going to put Issac Newton on trial and see what happens. Physics and the laws of nature are interfering with all the wonderful things that the Governor wants: More growth. We need more growth. Bring your family to California and feel the opportunity! We’ll even let you build a house near Silicon Valley, so long as there are no protected snail darters in the vicinity. More electricity! Got to have more electricity, these blackouts are starting to look politically incorrect. No more power plants! We stopped allowing power plants to be built a decade ago, and with good reason. Polls show that a majority of Californians do not like power plants within five miles of their house. Let the record show, our administration gives the public what it wants. Besides, I can’t upset the environmental lobby; they’ve got clout and influence right now. Their unbiased scientists say that every possible method of producing light, except candles, will result in a massive tidal wave that turns Arizona into ocean front property. (They’ve even programmed this image into computers, so it must be accurate.) My citizens, the power plants don’t care if the ocean swallows you all up. They’ll drown you in salt water for a few extra dollars. Thank you, Governor, for caring. If only we all cared so much, and if only electricity flowed in direct response to how much we care, I’m sure we’d all feel more illumined. I support the Governor’s bold experiment. The guy is actually going to take on Newton – you can’t chase a bigger windmill than that! This summer, we’ll discover first-hand if an act of will – inside the Governor’s mind – has the power to prevent physical causes from becoming physical effects – in reality. Court is now in session.
