“Sideshow” is apparently a definition adopted by the Holy Sea of CA to describe its citizens doing what is so common that it required a name:
“a crowd at Amherst Street and Meadowview Road, where cars were doing donuts after midnight Saturday morning.”
First I’ve read of the term.
My take: California is a ‘sideshow’.
Avoid at all costs.
And FReepers who hail from the sideshow: Rationalize it all you want, but you’ll never change a thing. Time to leave.
Free Republic would die without California.
