I am thinking that there is more to this story than you just being wound up over the defense of those good California fathers that are not nut jobs. The threats you have made (which would get you banned on most forums) , the level of offense, and the hyperbole in your posts leads me to conclude that you have a personal stake in this accusation.
I would urge you to consider why it is that a conservative father, which I assume you are, would even want to live in the land of “fruits and nuts.” California’s state laws, what is tolerated as normal in most places there, and the general moral decline of its population would cause me to relocate.
There is actual data on this subject and, if you would care to read it, you would see that your efforts to blame New York or Ohio for California’s moral decline are misplaced. California is and has been for decades the national leader in moral decay. There are books on the subject. Reasons for it. But, to blame it on others is just silly.
Ask yourself: “why am I so personally afraid (and therefore angered) about this topic?” If it is your fear of powerlessness over the dark forces in California, vote with your feet. Its not just another place with a segment of bad folks. It is the epicenter of bad folks. It is ruled by bad folks, for bad folks. Over the long run, God will take care of this. Over the short run, you are living the life of a Christian in Abu Dhabi.
At least move east of the Fault line. :)
My go odness, anton. Talk about hyperbole! Sorry to have
to tell you this but you are farther out in the weeds than
you can know. I don’t defend many things about California
these days but there is so much bogus matter in your post
that I am obliged to say something. I do live East of the fault line. Should I move to Vegas or Reno? Now there are
two bastions of morality! Am I better off living in Redding,
California or Cincinnati,Ohio? The answer starts with an R.
Good schools, far less crime, more conservative leadership
including a Republican congressman. Please cite me some
specific state laws that make California so radically worse
than Ohio to reside in. Then tell me where in Ohio I can
go crabbing, dove hunting, and snowboarding on the same
day. Anton, sir, please ponder your own Midwest universities.
Like what you see? That is not the fault of California.
This country has big problems, much bigger than California.
Anton, please read my bio. Also please ponder the rural vs
urban aspect of my previous post and this one too. ;-)
