Glad to hear you landed on your feet. I am one of the few who is unwilling to give up on California. Its a tough fight, but I seem to be able to convince a few people every month. You get some interesting conversations until you share a few facts - like what happens to jobs when the enviro costs go too high. I voted for Reagan for governor in my first election and hope that we can turn the place around yet.
Me too. I get to talking with the liberals and they whine and cry. I ask them what the problem is, they blame bush for the local economy. Then i strike, telling them the facts that local jobs have nothing to do with Bush and they sit there dazed like a nuclear bomb hit them. Then they go, Your right. I managed to convice a couple people to vote for Bush in 04 :) Some will never admit that they voted for him though.
