Yes, Isaiah, I have been to california, corresponded with folks out there,
done business with folks there, and know political refugees from that rather
degraded state. I think the small percentage are actually decent people like
you. California would not have the plethora of ludicrous, draconian laws if
many more folks who live there effectively fought for their inalienable
rights.
If indeed california is at least 20 years ahead of the rest of the country as
you allege, we are headed for a tragic loss of our liberties.
Please read my post on california senator McClintock's speech. This is one
of the most eloquent and insightful political observations I have ever seen.
Best regards,
Smitty
