Those of us old enough remember a time when California was the Promised Land, when we would watch the sunshine-covered Rose Parade while the snow piled up outside, or the women “wished they all could be California girls”.

Now California is essentially a Third World slum, with all the attendant corruption, crime, filth, and dismal quality of life more in tune with Tegucigalpa. So many people are leaving that if you factor out the illegals, it is LOSING population.

Maybe it’s time to give it back to Mexico. In a very few years, when the Hispanic population exceeds 51%, they will be voting secession anyhow, so let’s save all the trouble and let them have it.

Only parts of it. The Promised Land is still quite visible is many places, so people stay hoping the pendulum will swing back in other direction. Those who have been here long enough remember a time when it did - when Jerry Brown's disastrous reign ended and George Deukmejian's governorship coincided with Ronald Reagan's Presidency to make 80's California a huge improvement over 70's California. People hold out hope that can happen again, some day.

And for many (myself included), it's all about the money - like New York City and depending on your field, one can make much more money in California than anywhere else for the same work. Find a way to minimize your expenses for a few years and you can leave California in a very strong financial position, take your money East, and piss off all the Nevadans and Texans and Coloradans by driving their housing prices up. ;)

I'd call "danger close" first.

Post of the week BUMP!
Unloading California on Mexico is actually an excellent idea on several levels. If the scumbag Democrats lost two rat Senators, all those rat Congresscritters and all those permanent electoral votes, the rest of the nation might stand a chance of recovering. We would just need to build a good fence between California and America.

Your Statement: "Now California is essentially a Third World slum, with all the attendant corruption, crime, filth, and dismal quality of life more in tune with Tegucigalpa. So many people are leaving that if you factor out the illegals, it is LOSING population."

Response: Yep.

If you think that “California is essentially a Third World slum” then the only thing piling up is your bull crap.
