NYC,
I'm not validating anything. I'm mourning the death of one of the most beautiful states in the union. I posted the serious facts of what the liberals have done to the state and the danger they are creating for folks like you.
You seem to forget that I lived there for 34 years. I bought a house and 26 years later sold it for 5+ times what I paid for it. Yes, that was all wonderful, but I also grew tired of seeing the razor wire around the freeway signs to keep the taggers from destroying them. I got sick and tired of seeing gang tagging on every flat wall, truck trailer, etched into windows of stores and restaurants, on the mirrors in their restrooms and even on the toilet seats. I got tired of gang punks trying to intimidate you at every mall, on the streets at stop lights, virtually anywhere. It certainly isn't isolated to the Inland Empire, either. The last time I walked Newport's and Balboa's Piers I wanted to vomit. I know what they used to be like and how they are now. It's paradise lost and I'm truly sorry for that.
Let California be a lesson to the other 49 what happens when liberal politicians take over and use the state budget to by their constituency. You can be angry with me but you know it's true and guys like you are going to be asked to pay the freight for an entitlement constituency, the same one committing the drive-bys and shooting little innocent kids instead of the intended punk target.
Take care.
Matey
