"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken

Well, our editor took liberties with this title. The author did not make such a claim. And Prop 19 was not exactly about freedom either, but (from what I read) about regulation of pot; so it's a bit much to say "only criminals and fascists" opposed it. Maybe people who don't like regulation and taxation opposed it too.
