It's not too late. Well, maybe for California....
Interesting, how some seem so willing to give up the crown jewel on this great nation. If anything, I would fight harder for California, with it's valuable resources and world class harbors, weather, etc.
A leader or people that would be willing to give up the best, to settle for less, is something that I would personally not have much confidence in. In light of the thousands of California veterans that have given their lives for this country, I can't understand why there are those that would be willing to bend over and give it away.
I for one, an not even willing to give up on one single inch of American real-estate. No matter where it is.
