Doug --
I pity you living in California. Having Gray Davis as governor is almost as bad as having Peter Deutsch as Congressman.
Thank God I don't live in Florida anymore.

California sure has changed during my lifetime. I grew up in Pomona when it was a pretty safe city. Many of the friends I had in Little League were of Mexican heritage but spoke English and were proud to be Americans. We didn't know any different in those days. We were all just Americans.
