It's funny, ourselves and most of our friends don't watch these sitcoms or other hollywood BS, we don't go to the rose parada, Disneyland, game show filmings etc etc, yet these venues are filled with people from Georgia, Florida, Ohio, Alabama, Utah, and all over the country.....
We have friends in the high desert of California that we know are to the right of most of this entire country, and they barbeque with most of the cops in the county and don't take a lot of crap from outsiders or the AH communist in Sacramento.
There are lots of very rural areas of California, and most of the people out there are not big city socialist screw worms....Just the opposite. I could go into details about how hard core some these folks are, but I wont/can't. Trust me.....
Most of the folks that think we here in California are all a bunch of plastic, socialist, that all live in Hollywood and SF, think like tourist. It aint the way it is.
