Very true, birdman, but a destitute feeling liberal dominated government like in 1976 just as the previous TAX REVOLT was triggered by Jerry Brown's and Gray Davis' government's liberal tax sucking and spending insanity!!!
Haven't you noticed the 30 year cycle in CA? I have! So much of what we witnessed in '76 & '77 is recurring, old man! Right?
Yes it is... you just haven't been thinking about it. This is how we tell the future by looking in the rear view mirror. It's not exactly duplicated, just to keep things interesting, but the demographics, and mass psychology bring about history repeating it'self with amazing regularity in smashingly similar ways... you just watch!!!
Arnold, wishing to be Santa Claus indefinitely, will wear out his welcome in '08 bigtime, just like Jerry Brown did in '78. Watchout for CA political landslides and mudslides to match mother nature's!!!
CA could very well become a very "red state!" Bright red!!!
That's the likely outcome, and it will always be the case until Californians finally say "enough".
The "free lunch" state has got to realize that there is no such thing.
You'd think this might already be sinking in. If you travel outside of California, you'll find how much cheaper gasoline is, for example.
There is no free lunch. Californians might delude themselves into thinking so, but they pay in so many other ways.
What you said!! Great post!
