That’s another thing that mystifies me. If you disagree with the obsessive tirade, you must be liberal or progressive. I’m actually conservative.

When and if I leave California you can bet I won’t look back. I certainly won’t come back to biatch and moan about things that don’t even affect me anymore.

Of course you’re free to post wherever you want, but expect to be called on your BS and expect to be called out on your obsessive behavior.

Happly, some of the people here you are referring to who chide you for your sour attitude are conservatives and independents who have lived in California as long and longer than you have. And none of them are suggesting you don’t have the right to speak your opinions. What they are saying is, in their free opinion: your sour grapes opinions seem quite sadly bitter over trivial issues.

By the way, do you understand what the First Amendment right of free speech is about? It refers to government interference with speaking freely. It doesn’t protect how private citizens or businesses respond to or limit what you might say wherever you speak your mind. Regardless, no one has tried to shut you up. Some are just kinda laughing at you. Which is also freedom of expression, eh?

Remember guys, it's not the one pin prick that kills you, it's the other 999 that preceded it that help kill you.

Last I checked, I’m not dead. Seems as though you aren’t either Vega.

It's also a self feeding ineffective monster. California has the largest welfare system in the country based on dollars spent by FAR.

How can a state that spends the MOST on welfare, still have the HIGHEST poverty rate?


If you can honestly answer that question, you will know the answer as to why socialized welfare will never fix the homeless, and poverty problems in California.

Cali - Don't you get tired of being proven wrong?

Alaska, New Mexico, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Vermont, DC, & New York all spend more per capita on welfare than California
