Quote from jem:
good article on California. Just as I suspected. The democrats killed the state with their desire to increase their voting base. They saw the swing democrat vote that went to Reagan in 80s and they embarked on a plan to never let the state go repbuplican. They said lets increase the potential democrat voting base by giving away things they really could not afford to give away.
Yea Bush is a jerk to California. Yes, and appointing Enron patsies to the Energry regulatory body was crooked, and it pissed me off. But the freaking assholes in sacramento left the state broke and unable to defend itself against fires. I usually restrain myself from profanities but they chased me out of the state for now.
The good thing is it is a hell of lot easier, to wake up eat breakfast, check on europe check the news and start trading at a respectable hour. I now have energy to work out during lunch. Maybe someday I will be able to go back there and buy a summer house on the water.
