Oregon [. . .] a state that was taken over by Californians who were smart enough to leave California, but too stupid to remember why they left.

Very good line. I confess to being an Oregon visitor (3 times and may be going for a 4th this fall). Not enough time to really understand the place, but I see a difference between the East and the West in the public behavior and private attitudes of the people I see and meet. Seems like it's a natural place for libertarians, so there is hope.

Oregon is one of the most beautiful states in the Union. It has 3 distinct regions with 3 different sets of people. The coast where it rains 11 months of the year and is populated by hippies. The central part between the Coast range and Cascades where it rains 10 months of the year and is populated by socialists. And East of the Cascades where it rains 1 month of the year and is populated by self-reliant people who just want the government to leave them alone (except Bend) :-)

I’d love to move back - my sister still lives there. It is a beautiful place and I love the mountains. But after living in the freedom of Texas, I just couldn’t put up with the politically correct Barbara Streisand - or the outrageous land prices, or not being able to pump my own gas.
