Good for you that you are optimistic. Maybe you do
understand then that there are millions of conservative
Californians who are still, unfortunately, outnumbered
by liberal voters. We are not all fruits and nuts just
as all of those on the East Coast are not liberals as
you pointed out to roadcat.

Agreed.

But it's fun to have a l'il rivalry on occasion. I know there are great folks in California just like everywhere else. But y'all do seem to come up with an inordinate amount of weird stuff. Hehehe. d;^)

We already have a rivalry. You have a rivalry and we
have a rivalry. They are called liberals and they infect
the whole nation. If you want a different kind of
rivalry then I will take the SF Giants and you take any
other team.

To read some of the vicious, mean spirited posts about
ALL Californians is no where near fun. I can joke with
the best of them but too many Cali haters don’t come
to joke. And, I notice some of the worst will not
reveal their own state of residence.

Yah, lots of weird shit comes out of California but
what would you expect from a state with 40 million
people? And, what would you think if every state had
their own version of artichoke grower here at FR?
Artichoke grower is the poster who constantly posts
every off the wall thing he can find about California.
I’m guessing he is from California and doesn’t bother
reading responses to his threads or he is a masochist,
flip a coin. The point is that weird stuff is
everywhere and getting worse everywhere, too.

I thought this was a nice news item for our Independence Day. Good days were behind us. Better days lie ahead.

This could not have been done by a Catholic priest, everyone knows the Church hates science.

Amazing, huh? No one who loves God is afraid of real science and the scientific method.

Mebbe you were referring to the New England part of the East Coast.

For the most part, yes. However, I've run into my share of liberal jerks from the midwest and some from the south. People from Texas, the Carolinas, Kansas, Iowa, etc. flooding into San Francisco and not leaving. One well-known example is Willie Brown, from Texas. He pretty much took over SF politics, then went on to ruin California at the state level with his shenanigans. I've met the guy and worked around him; he's ruthless. But yeah, most of them are from the northeastern states. For instance, Nancy Pelosi from Baltimore. Her brothers (one a mayor of Baltimore, another an SF supervisor) set her up in politics her in SF where she did insane crap. I wish all the outsiders would just go home so we can clean out the mess they caused.

Agreed on both counts.

Seems every sub-group of humans has a "troublesome" subsection that looks like them, but isn't. They can be hard to identify w/o contact.
But we all will know them by their fruits.

Good luck out there, fellas. d:^)
