In case you didn't know, Joe Hadenuf and I are the self appointed defenders fighting the bad rap California gets around here. I could have pointed out a few negative things about Alabama if I wanted to, I suppose, but I take no joy in running down another state. In fact, the only two things I have against Alabama are the travesty of "The Crimson Tide" being co-champs in '78 when SC beat them in there own crib, and the fact that the state produced my brother in law. Other than that, I'd never say a negative thing.

Gee, I'd never have guessed! ;-)

I could say some things about Alabama as well. As I said in another thread, it is an embarassment that Howell Heflin once represented us in front of the entire nation. I don't take any joy in running down the negative elements of any state's social/political situation. However, that doesn't mean it doesn't exist and is not a problem for the people of that state. You will have to admit though, ever how large a percentage of the population they are, the socialists out in California want to make life miserable for the rest of the state. Also, there is Hollywood, not satisfied with sticking its nose in California state affairs, it has to do it elsewhere (and, by Hollywood, I'm talking about the entertainment industry).

Well, you can't blame the rest of us for a bad apple.

I'll join you in that cause. But there is a big advantage to having everyone think California is Satan's Compost Heap - they'll stay home! We need to spread the word in Mexico, now...
