Ya sure that isn't your own insecurity?
The biggest braggadocios people I have ever run into are not from California, but from Texas.
That being said, I don't know about being superior, but even in a terrible bad economy, California, which is basically run by liberals, has nearly twice the economy of Texas...
Just to put things in perspective..
By the way, year around top shelf weather is worth a foutune to us, with year-around Mediterranean style climate,....Well...compared to the south, California is totally superior...
I deflated one once, in a bar in California, starting off with "Texas, you say? You mean the second biggest state in the Union? That Texas?"
Actually I like Texas. I found it to be a pretty nice place. And the guy ended up being a friend.
