It’s been going on forever newbie, and you’ve been here long enough where ya should understand that. I don’t like it either, but it’s the way it is.
I respectfully disagree. I've been here a little while. And, you're right.. there's PLENTY of 'California Bashing'. I might even have done a little of it myself. :-)
But, this is a life threatening situation affecting fellow Americans. There comes a time when DECENT people put politics aside, and care about their fellow man. There were Californians praying for the people of Houston during the floods... and, THIS Texan will pray for the people of California in this time of peril.
There is a time to spit at California... This, is not that time. Unless, of course... it's on an ember.
