CA Is Heading Due Left and How You Are Paying For It.
An excellent perspective and assessment of just how much damage Kalifornia can do to all of us. I almost thought I was reading Atlas Shrugged....

While we're very happy to have you in the Gulch and appreciate your wanting to fully engage, some things in the Gulch (e.g. voting, links in comments) are a privilege, not a right. To get you up to speed as quickly as possible, we've provided two options for earning these privileges.
Yesterday we had a small gathering at a local park in an upscale neighborhood to celebrate my daughter's birthday. She's 7 now. At one point she took off her bike helmet to play in the large play structure. That got stolen. She was very upset about it as it was a neat helmet that looked like a dinosaur head. She wore it all the time. Then, my son and I were playing with one of those phoebe Frisbees...those ring-styled affairs that fly really well. Also stolen. I just see it as a sign of the times, of another example of living in California. Too many people here think nothing of just stealing stuff from kids.
I always appreciate your postings. Makes me feel that I am not alone in the struggle, as does being a part of Galt's Gulch.
This whole opportunity of a website is what keeps me sane, truly.
Dukem (somewhere in the fog of Oregonian liberalism).
I have been a part of this trend for over 40 years. I'll skip the details. Came to CA when it was paradise (mostly), left for greener pastures 15 years ago to central Oregon (rural, sort of) and now the inmates of all types are fleeing CA and nesting here and bringing all that crap with them. We went from Republican to Democrat in my area almost overnight, it seemed, and it shows. No money to fix potholes, but we sure do have enough to keep funneling to the palaces and nurseries they call schools, resulting in more of the same. I call them "safe spaces for snowflakes." Wish I had originated that phrase.
Why don't I leave? That's my next step. But where I want to go it's getting almost the same way (Colorado).
Thanks! Now I feel much better! (Insert sarcastic grimace.)
