The scary thing is that most liberals in CA are probably glad to hear this news. They think corporations are evil.
You are right. I am a third generation native Californian, and you would not believe the large percentage of people here who have absolutely no idea that there is anything at all wrong here. A local radio station man-on-the-street poll just polled whether people would vote for Mitt Romney or Obama, and a majority said Obama and most said they thought he was doing a good or a great job as president. And this is a rural county, not the bay area or LA. The special election for CA-35 yesterday was projected to have 15% turnout of registered voters. You would not believe the percentage of people here who do not know what is going on and do not care.
