I was born in Hollywood, and raised in Long Beach. How MORE Californian can one get. I’m approaching 73, and my post reflects on the time I grew up which was the 1950’s, and early 1960’s. I know what was happening then, and what the talk was. The talk of the time all came to fruition. Everybody knew what was happening to our State, THE State with the best education system, the best living conditions was on its way out.
It didn’t help to have the Browns, the Getty’s, the Newsom’s, the Pelosi’s even back then. They milked the State as now they milk the union.
I am on the East Coast Boston area but still remember in California incumbent B1 Bob Dornan a freeper type right wing republican being beaten for representative in 1996 by Loretta Sanchez in a questionable fraudulent election and the Republicans not helping him out.
The gutless Republicans didn't want to offend the "Hispanics and illegal aliens who would become future voters.
From that time on I felt something bad was happening in Kalifornia. - Tom
