A writer writing on California has to live here. And I have personal interests to stay, for now.

In today’s America, “the pursuit of happiness” has been outlawed. But when personal happiness is outlawed, only outlaws will have personal happiness.

Funny. Special interests buying the regime, which then imposes tyranny and robs me, is wrong no matter who does it, including a “democracy.” But even the “will of the people” cannot defy economic laws, such as that if you spend and borrow too much, you go bankrupt. Soon.

What are you waiting for? You have a right to the pursuit of happiness, and you can drive to any state you want. That is just one thing that is so great about this country!

The “we” comes from a representative democracy John. Wherever you intend to go I bet they have one of those pesky things there too!

And in any case, my “we” obligation will be canceled the happy day when I drive out of this state for good.
