I'll take my home state of Florida over Commiefornia any day.
1. We still have cigar bars. They haven't been banned.
2. We have 3 NFL teams and the best college football in America.
3. We don't have a governor who uses the PSC to get payola from the power companies. Oh and our lights only go out during hurricanes, not due to poor planning and envirowhackos.
4. We don't have a tax on our soda pop because we don't have socialist behaviorial rocket scientists in our legislature.
5. We can still by assault rifles and plink econodeathtraps at the junk yard for fun.
6. And most importantly of all.....WE LOVE OUR SUVS and don't believe in letting the state government becoming a dictatorship.

When another Reagan type finally gets elected out there (I doubt that I'll live to see that), I'll consider visiting. Otherwise, LAX is just a bad stop on the way out to the South Pacific for me.

I'm not trying to engage you in a spitting contest. I was just trying to point out, in a friendly manner, that I had held the same opinion about CA over thirty years ago. Yep, we have problems and there are those of us who try to fix them at the polls but lately we've run up against a lot of oppostion.

I'm glad you love your home state of Florida. Truly Florida is a gem and shines brightly in our great nation. After all we can thank Florida for clinching the vote for GWB in the 2000 election. Why if it wasn't for Florida we just might have Algore.

You can think what you like about CA. To me it is ridiculous to hate a single state so much. After all we are all part of the same great nation. Have a great day. It was a pleasure to have conversed with you.
