What pisses me off is that other states complain about Californians going elsewhere, without realizing that California was Republican and got invaded by liberals from other states who then flipped it to Democrat. Ask the average resident where they were born, and it was not California. Fewer and fewer of us native-born conservative Californians. We were invaded in the 1960s by easterners like Nancy Pelosi and southerners like Willie Brown. Those invaders voted for Democrats.
I can remember when you could ride a motorcycle in California without a helmet ... legally ...
I was born in Palo Alto (now stanford) on the 3rd floor
of the original hospital two years after my wife was born
on the same floor. The education system was among the best in the country. I now live near Santa Cruz which began failure in 1962 thanks to UCSC. Before then it was a great town. The problem seems to be the proximity of salt water.
Hard to believe Ron Reagan raised many of us.
A number of weak-minded natives who allowed the invaders to sway them have voted for Democrats also.
