Where you live in Californai may have lot to do with it. In the big cities (which I never visit), I have heard that people don’t seem to have as much freedom, but here in the boondocks we sure do.
Amen to that. So many FReepers think that all of us Californians
are all the same because that is the only info they get from the
media. You and I and many, many small towners and rurals
know different. Unfortunately that doesn’t seem to matter much
to some folks.
