Our family is right there with you. Took my kids to the Reagan Library. Great experience. Nixon Library is next. We’re into Get Smart re-runs, and send the kids to Catechism, go to Church, etc.
The sad thing is not just that CA is tanking, but that the kids know it and are bummed about the future, instead of having that hope that California and America has always evoked.
My sensitive high-school age daughter is so appalled that the state of CA is going to be teaching about gay heroes in school, she actually grieves for Governor Brown’s soul. For kids with a sound moral core, they have a hard job to buck the cultural tide on a daily basis. I’m just glad my parents didn’t live to see this decline.
Wow. That’s good to know. I am not the only one out here. Some people say we should move out of CA. The way I see it, the rest of the nation is following CA’s madness, delusional disregard for piling up massive debt, and cultural narcissism. BHO would have won the presidency in both 2008 and 2012 even if CA had voted for his opponents.
