Yeah, large and growing and much of it is due to illegal immigration from their group.

Hasta la Vista...
Can't be civil? I don't want to live among fruits and nuts which represents the majority of Californians (liberal Democrats) so it works for me anyway. Conservatives aren't the nuts in this state.

In addition the entire area of California would receive more representation on the Federal Level by the inclusion of the additional Senator that would be appointed for the additional States.

The result would be better representation for more people. Only someone who had the desire to repress his fellow citizens would be against it.

I am all over the state for business. I see a lot of Counties, some I like, some do not. But for the most part, people I see, are not fruits and by the way, love their nuts, very good for you.

I have been to almost every State. Some I like, some definitely do not. Know what I have found out, in every State, there are people who are definite nuts, and there are sane people.

Some States people are warm and friendly, some States, they are not. People are people no matter where they live, believe me I have been to all except for 3 Alaska being one of them.

Los Angles, to me has the most nuts, if your going to say there are nuts. The whole State does not have nuts,, so I do disagree with you.

Where i live people are very sane, level headed and definitely not nuts in any shape way or form.

Have you been thru every County in Calif, i have, some of the smaller counties that are rural, people just want to be left alone, and are very sane Don't care where you live today, don't care what State, people are the same, either crazy in the head, or sane.
The political machine those who run the States have something to do with the nuts they create.
You seem to assume everyone out here are nuts, and that is so not true.

I didn't say that. I said the state has a majority of nuts. I didn't say that everyone in this state is nuts.

Alright guess I assumed wrong then, sorry for that. And we all know who the nuts in the State are don't we. Comparing nuts to nuts.

I think it is safe to say, that no matter what State you live in, there are crazy people and level headed people, this is what I have seen from traveling. States you would think should be friendly are not, those you would think people are stuck up as hell are not. Go figure. I would have to say from traveling to other States the majority of States maybe they do not know it, has their fair share of nuts also.

Hate to say this, maybe I should not but I believe in keeping it real, in Michigan, some nice scenery, but I thought, they had plenty of nuts. New Mexico, I found the people to be warm and inviting. At least from our perspective.

California not being one of them, a few States, the people had a chip on their damn shoulder, and it clearly shows. Love Vegas to visit friends, and go to shows, a tiny bit of gambling, and I mean tiny. Like blackjack and craps. But there are quite a few nut jobs there also. We cannot find good people to work out there in Vegas, they start out with good intentions. Then earn bad habits. So what I have found out from traveling to many different States, while scenery is pretty and beautiful, weather stinks people are people, not enough of a change yet, to make me want to move. We may move from San Clemente to Temecula, wine Country, don't want too, but most of our clients are in the IE and that area would be much closer. But no beach, oh well, life is full of surprises. And this is my opinion of the States I have mentioned.

ciao Happy New Year to you!

What I meant was that California is full of liberals. On that level that is the nutty part. I have traveled myself some but being a nut politically doesn't mean they can't be warm and friendly. We have our share of warm and friendly people here in the Golden State and that would include many liberals. Just don't like their politics.

Funny you should mention Temecula as I am contimplating a move to Murietta. Small world, right?
