4. Yes you're right. And the propositon situation has inherent dangers that go beyond

Wording of advertisements.

Often the offical title of a propositon is misleading. Hypothetically, you might have to read the small print to find out that "The Safety for All Babies" Proposition actually decrees that babies should not be allowed to have oxygen to breath.

And then there are all the various names of various associations that are supposedly endorsing this or that propositon. How many voters know if the California Association of Nurses is a more legitimate organization than the California Nurses Association, or not? Half these entities are made up, just so the backers or negators of a propositon can claim to have the heavy support.
