I met my wife in Monterey when I was stationed at Fort Ord. Best duty station in the world, ever.
I was born in Cali, I hear that being a native is a rare thing, on the whole. I voted yes on the referendum to split the state into two, Northern California, and Southern California. I don't like SoCal. Even the surf sucks down there.

Unfortunately for you two, I've made a deal with Satan to have the next major earthquake break off California, and it's suburb of Oregon, and plunge it all into the Pacific Ocean.
Sorry guys.

This statistic has always seemed a bit odd to me. It's based on where lines are drawn on a map and nothing else. If you created a state about the same size as California on the East coast, from Massachusetts to NC, you'd have an even larger economy than California.

It's "the people's republic of california which is full of socialist idiots"
http://cellar.org/showpost.php?p=28505&postcount=35 All that Socialism must be having some sort of positive effect, no? Otherwise how can it be explained, radar? |

Actually the economy thrives in spite of socialism, not because of it. If all the socialism were removed, California would jump to number 3 or 4 on the global economy list.

So, since CA is clearly more, uh "Socialistic" than other states, it's primarily not the laws that cause its success, but the character of its people?

Apparently we live in different Californias. The one I live in has people that are fat and lazy, half of them look homeless, they litter and don't give a shit about the environment. 'Perfect' weather would imply there is more weather than "Hot" "Not as hot" "Windy" and "Raining". There's an active KKK cell in the town twenty minutes east of me, and I've met more racist people since moving here than anywhere else in the country.
