No doubt. I'm sure they're jealous that we've turned over the prettiest city in CA (San Francisco) to perverts and street dregs. My favorite aspect of San Fran is the drug addicts and AIDS infested people urinating and defecating on the streets.
I'm sure they're jealous of the fact that 50% of the population doesn't even speak English.
I'm sure they're jealous of the fact that our universities are staffed by tenured professors who are communists and socialists. (I happen to be a student in one of our esteemed universities and know whereof I speak.)
I'm sure they're jealous of our incredibly high cost of living. I'm sure they're jealous of the fact that the median price of a (modest) home is $300,000.
I'm sure they're jealous of our traffic jams. (My last trip to LA took me four hours just to get across the city.)
I'm sure they're jealous of Berkeley, home of traitors, seditionists and rebels.
I'm sure they're jealous of the fact that one cannot even buy a centerfire rifle that has either a pistol grip or a flash suppressor.
I'm sure they're jealous of our in-your-face militant homosexual rights movement.
Sorry. You could not be more wrong. Most of the USA holds CA in contempt. They could care less about our food or weather. Some things are more important than comfort.
Drugs, fags, crime, traffic, illegals? Every state has that, and your cities are loaded with it too. LOL! Get real. And don't be so angry.
My Dad use to tell me that his relatives from Ohio were always jealous of where he lived in Cal 50 years ago. It was a joking back and forth thing, be it was obvious to him. Especially come the fall and winter months.
California is a huge state, the crown Jewel of this great country.
Where else in this country can you finde some areas that resemble the great deserts of the Australian outback?
Others look like the rain forest of South America, still others appear like the great Swiss Alps.
Other areas with towering peaks that reach almost 15,000 feet above sea level, the highest point in the continental US, to the lowest point in the U.S. where Death Valley Scotty built a castle in the desert, something out of a dream.
While still others appear like the beaches of Hawaii, and other areas with the tallest trees in the world, and other areas that are right out of Mark Twain's Tom Sawyer.
Only about 5 regions on earth with the same climatic conditons.
This country is filled with beautiful areas, as I have been to your state and about 42 others including 6 different countries. California just happens to be my favorite place on earth. As you can see, I am biased, It's my state and I am very proud to be here.
Cheer up and don't be so dang jealous! Merry Christmas to all.....
