OK, I get it. You drank the Cool Aid and it still tastes like vintage wine to you. We here in fly over territory do not try to convince the lost souls like yourself that we have better schools (which we do), more affordable housing (which we do), more representative government (which we do), more conservative government(which we do), lower taxes, more spendable income and more personal freedom.
But, the fact that you can tolerate life in California tells me more than anything I could find in your bio which I did read.
Good luck to you. But, while you are waiting for the Cool Aid to turn to wine, I suggest that you stop beating up people who think you are nuts. It goes with your territory. Accept it.
Anton, the first thing I thought when I finished
your last post was that I hope that you don’t have to
ever consume food produced in the evil California soil!
Heck, I was going to invite you to come out and do
some trout fishing and complete the day with a bottle
of some of the world’s best wine produced over in the
Napa Valley. But I sure would not want you to dip your
toes in the waters of hell and drink my Cool Aid. And
speaking of drinking Cool Aid my family has been in
California for four generations yet you say I have
been brain washed? The Rust Belt has been leaking
population for how long? I won’t judge you for staying.
I do not live by politics alone but I will
allow for the possibility of pulling up stakes.
But have you read some of things FReepers
say about California transplants? I’ll stay and
vote for the most conservative candidates I can find.
But let me know when Jim Robinson moves from Fresno
to Akron and I’ll rethink my options.
BTW....Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo. I love my old school.
We lost some football players in a Bowling Green
plane crash back in ‘60. Sad.
