You couldn't pay me enough to live there! To many stupid laws and to many people.

A lot of California people are moving here and complaining about us having freedoms (wearing guns, shooting in the desert, owning dogs,etc.) I tell them to go back to Cal and leave us alone.

It must be winter everywhere else. Winter rage on a motorcycle site. Oh well, I'm going riding tonight with my wife. In January. Imagine that. And as far as the gas pump is concerned the problem is the operator, not the equitpment. Let me say it again...Oh well, I'm going riding tonight with my wife.

All the other states hate California cause we do so much for them.

#1 cheese producer, #1 rice, walnut, tomatoes, garlic, avacado, and so on producer. A VERY close second in orange production.

Plus we have Hollywood, Silicone valley, the Pacific Fleet, and so much more.

California is the 7th largest economy in the WORLD.

California matters, other states don't.

Simple Solution: There's a Greyhound bus to Cleveland. Leaves at 2:30pm daily. How many tickets will you be needing?

If you get outside the four major cities (LA, San Fran, Sacramento, & San Diego) you'll find nothing but wide open beautiful country side. Those that rant about California have most likely never even traveled here. Have you seen Tahoe? the Redwoods, The Pacific Coastline? Yosemeti? Napa Valley?
The Sierra Madre Mountain range? Actually forget I mentioned that, move along nothing too see here...

Those of you who say we are crowded, there's probably a good reason no one wants to live in your State and end up here.

As for the pumps, forgive us for trying to think about the environment. We should continue to rape and pilage the Earth and leave our kids a wonderful place to live.
