Why is california like a bowl of granola?

Because after you remove all the fruits and nuts there’s nothing but flakes left.

To anyone still living(?) in california:

“None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free.” —Goethe

the United States is like a machine... when you shake it, all the loose nuts and bolts tend toward california. :)

Naw. Once you remove all of the fruits and nuts, you're left with a lot of good, solid Americans and some of the best land in the world.

Sadly, I think the quote by Goethe could very well apply to more than a few states...how about ALL of them.

Do you really think we have free speech in the current “POLITICALLY CORRECT” atmosphere? I mean, to the point that if one disagrees with anothers'stated view, there's no longer any tolerance for disagreement or dialog and discussion. If one does attempt that, be prepared to be called racist.(as in when a person voices alarm at the amount of illegals flooding into our country...one is called racist..missing the point entirely, perhaps on purpose.) I for one would be every bit as disgusted and frankly outraged, were the illegals lily white and from Europe. I don't give a rats’pitutee what the color is, or the nationality...if you're not here LEGALLY, you should be made to leave.PERIOD.

I find our gov. ability and penchant for picking and choosing what laws to enforce and which ones to wink at and turn their head just plain hypercritical, at best...at worst, it's criminal. We have laws on the books..ENFORCE THEM.

How about the blanket NO SMOKING laws? I'm no smoker, but what is wrong with personal choice...let business owners...restaurant and bar owners, choose whether or not to have a smoke free establishment...then let the customers choose where they go. I'm no business owner either, so I have “no dog in this fight”, but I'm just sick of the gov. poking their nose into every facet of our lives.

I keep wondering when the public will rise up and say ENOUGH. But the sad thought is..I fear it's way too late...we're well down that slippery slope that I for one, never dreamed we'd find our nation blindly sliding down.
