But hey, California is such a nice place, why go back to the South where the weather is the $hits, right.

I'm sure it was nice in the 60s. My folks grew up in Oregon in the late 50s and early 60s and they say similar things. HOWEVER, their parents were from Oklahoma. They moved west because they wanted to WORK. The overwhelming majority went west to WORK. When they got to the Garden of Eden, California had illegally and unconstitutionally set up road blocks not allowing my family in, abusing and collecting legal US citizens.

So my grandfather, a Field Artillery vet, went to Oregon and worked as a logger until he was 65. Well, except for the time he fought in Europe. Yes, he rejoined the day after Pearl Harbor. My parents, sick of the left coast, moved us back to Oklahoma when I was 10.

California has been setting ITSELF up to fail. Don't blame "Southerners" for YOUR problems (unless you mean the "Southerners" y'all let in that *aren't* citizens - make that make sense). Have you seen Oklahoma, Arkansas and Texas lately? Sure, the Oklahoma economy isn't as big is yours, but ours isn't broke. So don't blame us and our culture for California's historic and continuous anti-Constitutional stupidity.

BTW, our weather is just fine. The greatest outbreak of tornados couldn't do the damage to the economy of Oklahoma what your politicians have done to yours. Oh yeah, and we have WATER here. California has and always has had a Californian problem, not a "too many Southerners" problem.

Well, it’s true, when you’re over the target you start taking flak! You are exactly the kind of person to whom my comments were directed! More than any state in the union, California has been a “melting pot” much to it’s ultimate misfortune. And I guess you want to “forget” that we essentially feed the rest of you, so when you start missing fresh produce on your grocery store shelves, you will “remember” how we are all tied together, but in your case that’s a maybe.
