Actually, I really ought to take this opportunity to clarify something. There really are two states within California. And I'm not talking Northern and Southern either -- it's really Eastern and Western, but more accurately SF/LA vs. the rest of the state. There are many parts of California that are pretty normal and populated by normal people. Just have to stay outside the two big cities and the surrounding areas, generally speaking.

If the GOP didn't keep screwing things up, CA would vote Republican -- like it did for Ronald Reagan twice.

Sir Rogue, I've driven the length of your state a couple times and fully agree, same thing is happening with Oregon with the population base in Portland (with a fully developed epidemic of extreme liberal politics, wait!!! A Professional Soldiers FIRST!!! I'm going to hijack my own post!) > We should have the CDC investigate Liberals as a form of rampant epidemic communicable disease< ok, done with that. Portland politics drives the whole state which for the most part is rural resource providing. This isn't working very well.

Hell, we have our very own microcosm of the whole state right here in the county where I live. A city that's the bastion of liberal hippie politics (led by the vanguard of easily-led UC students), conflicting with an ignored majority of ranchers/farmers/vintners. Guess who gets all the media attention?

LOL, I don't even think a moose in heat would date that.

I lived in Portland for a year in the early 90's and I remember people there were all up in arms over the influx of Californians to the state. A few miles from my apartment there was a huge billboard with a picture of a swarming crowd walking down the street. Something you might see at rush hour in downtown New York City. The phraze at the top of the sign was "Oregon,were full". I was kind of surprised to see that.

Been to CA as well and I agree.........there are all types though I was only in the northern part of the state for a short time.
