In the time I was there I had seen the absolute worst in people - the L.A. Riots, the pandemonium and lawlessness after the Northridge Quake, the whole O.J debacle. Godamn ridiculous. At one point California had lost its way, victim to an extremely liberal mindset that loathed true individualism in favor of shallow "individuals". When they hired Governor Schwarzenegger I knew that it had gone too far down the slippery slope. I love his movies as much as anyone else but he has no business running the affairs of a State.
I don't know what causes Californians to be what they are. Maybe we can blame it on overcrowded cities, a culture that embraces the thug mindset over community, or a media circus that extoles lack of virtue as an expression of "freedom". Whatever the case, I did not want to raise a child in that environment and I'm glad we now reside in a State that still values... well, it's values.
Goodbye, California. May you rest in peace.
Now please don't hate on some of us California transplants. The conservative ones that come here, love guns, and believe in the Constitution came for a reason. We hate the BS that goes on in that inane state...
You know what they say... California is a great place... if it wasn't for the people.
Let the flaming begin.
but what about the weed
btw jsut curious, did ya choose cedar park so you could take a short drive you Austin? You know, incase ya get homesick?
Nah, we actually hate the city. Everyone we see looks angry and unwashed and too many emotional college students running around like the world owes them a pat on the back. Waaaaaay too much like San Francisco. My job was in Lakeway and Cedar Park was close.
I think living in crowded conditions surrounded by too much concrete changes people. That's why our dream is to own 100 acres of land deep in the hill country as far away from the city as possible. THAT'S my version of heaven....
