   I thought it was a principle under civil law that when someone has   
   been wronged and compensation deemed appropriate, the money is taken   
   from those who have become unjustly enriched and given to those who   
   have suffered as a result of that wrongdoing. But that's not what's   
   being contemplated here. The persons who committed the original wrongs   
   are all long dead, as are those who suffered at their hands. I don't   
   see how one can justly apportion blame among those alive today. They   
   have done no wrong and the people who it is proposed to compensate   
   have suffered no wrong either.   
   What are we supposed to do? Just shrug and resign ourselves to saying   
   California's different? Are they really going to go ahead with this?
