#1 Isn't "Stretch" originally from Baltimore? California and Baltimore...two basket cases in their own way.

#2 unless the Left is stopped

Bloody civil wars are good at that. Seems to be a historical correlation between severe pain and social adjustment.

#3 California is a house of cards waiting to collapse. If just one bond rating company would seriously call BS on these Ponzi scheme bonds Calfornicate issues every year to churn the debt, you would see a very interesting situation as they try to figure out how to continue these nonsense special interest programs.

When it finally reaches a tipping point and the house of cards collapses, it will be very interesting.

#4 Carnivorous is the perfect description of priorities for state government. One tiny example in my own life. Annual registration for my 2013 F-150 Ford XLT truck arrived yesterday. $478....

#5 My family has been in California since the gold rush, and I'm completely bewildered regarding our present and future state of affairs. At least the scenery is good.

Think what you'd be paying to drive a Lexus, Bentley or MB. In Georgia you'd be hammered. Keep the Ford and smile.

#7 Here in Tennessee it's about 29 bucks no matter what you are driving. Some counties have a wheel tax that can be as much as 40 bucks per vehicle though.

#9 Always stay in the middle or the rear of the formation, and do not ask any questions.

#10 They encounter an American host that has lost confidence in its once formidable powers of assimilation and integration as well as its ability to mint Americans from diverse races, religions, and ethnicities.

IOW, the principle of Proposition Nation has become a bad joke that is only honored in the breach, anyway.

Another thing we'll have to come to terms with, along with what P2K said.
