As a 4th generation Californian, I am more than a little distressed at the foul political mire into which this once great state has sunk.
I also tend to not P&M or rant and rail on various forums, instead preferring to spend that time writing letters, etc.
But I'll tell ya... the pure apathy and ignorance of many folks in this state makes me want to tear my hair out.
This weekend I was more aggravated than usual.
Perhaps reading "Lost Rights", and then starting to read "Slouching Towards Gomorrah", all in one weekend, was not the wisest of decisions. I should have watched the last half of the Super Bowl.
Instead, I decided to redesign our state flag. That grizzly bear just doesn't cut it
any more.
