Absolutely correct. These people helped to create and maintain an
incomplete picture of California. They support Jerry Brown and pour
cash into his coffers while the big business hating Brown does all
he can to run commerce out of the state.
The movie industry was a great asset to the state at one time but not
so much anymore. As far as I am concerned Hollywood can leave
and take most remaining actors with it. Take the name, too.
In the mean time things around FR would improve somewhat if
our many FReeper friends would resist the liberal tactic of painting all
Californians with the same brush. We actually have numerically
more conservatives in California than most states. Unfortunately
we still find ourselves outnumbered.
That’s an FR thing. I’m in NYC and I get hell every other day. They have no use for conservatives who live in liberal areas. I don’t know why because it’s much harder to live in these areas - and it takes a lot of stamina to do so!
