“But, sooner or later, we need to move on from fantasy and accept the world as it exists so that we can pursue serious ideas to save our state from the abyss.”
I would like to take away from this article, the above statement which tells us to do all we can to look at every city and County maneuver/law being proposed and search for better ways of doing things!

@juggler, other than contacting your representatives and telling them how you feel about certain issues, what else do you want to do to, “take your government back”? What have you done to let your reprsentatives know what you think? Are you advocating that we change to a dictatorship, with you as the dictator?

All of the people (myself included) are fed up with the mismanagement of our republic at the federal level. Massive amounts of money (yet again) spent by all of the special interests guarantee the public will not have a voice in the federal government which is supposed to be “of the people, by the people, and for the people.” I think everyone who signed one of the petitions would agree with the sentiment — we want our government back.

@Bob, Diversity isn’t just about color and financial position. It is also about people who come from all walks of life, regarding education and careers, people with differing policitical and religious views. Then, also look at CA’s diversity of landscape–CA has everything. How boring it would be, if we were all alike and CA’s sights would be only one type of landscape and infrastructure.

One doesn’t have to be a tea bagger to be that stupid, Ted. Anything but focusing on the subject of the article. Just bully the other poster–makes the perpetrator feel so smug, cause that’s all he’s got.

@Bob: I don’t tolerate any of what you describe as, “scum of society”. I don’t live by such types and, if I did, it wouldn’t be for very long. Of course I tolerate all kinds of diversity, as long as it doesn’t do those things? What doesn’t make sense about that? If such types don’t do those those things, why are you calling them the, “worst scum”?

SeeSaw:

You have a utopian view of reality. What will you have to say when reality imposes itself into your utopian view? Diversity? You mean the islands of relative wealth surrounded by a sea poverty & crime?

People like you tolerate the worst scum of society in the name of diversity as long as that diversity doesn’t rape, rob, murder and/or drive down the property values in your neighborhood.

“Scab”, if that truly is your name,

You wrote…”his backend hurts from his choice in life partners.”

Let me take a guess here. With that kind of low brow, childish, hateful rhetoric be honest with me, are you a tea bag Republican?

BobA – There’s a fine new film out that demonstrates the consequences of secession; it’s called “Lincoln.”

The only good thing about the rise of a neo-Confederacy would be the opportunity to perform a thorough and correct Reconstruction this time around. That means instead of disarming the seditious leaders and sending them home, we could have a nice period of public retribution and give them the same rewards bestowed upon traitors throughout history.

Planning secession is sedition. It will not happen. We are not going to have another civil war in this country! You can pontificate all you want about splitting CA into several different states–our diversity is what makes us what we are–no splitting up of my state! VIVA CA! If you don’t want to stay here and support your neighbors, pick the Red state of your choice, and don’t let the door hit you…………………..
