[HCARC] Demonic Republic of Claifornia

[Gary and Arlene Johnson]

Tim,

I am sorry if I offended you in any way.  However you do not have an 
exclusive on California heritage.  Unfortunately,  I spent a portion of 
youth there, was stationed there for a significant part of my career in the 
Navy, my mother and brother still live there and my wife is a native.   You 
will notice that I no longer live there (as well as I notice that you don't 
either).

However, any state that votes to do things like borrowing an additional $66 
billion dollars for high speed rail when they are hopelessly in debt,  which 
manages to re-elect a Governor who trashed the state approx 20 years ago in 
his first term in office and was turned out of office in disgrace, and which 
is run by the California EPA (amongst all the other dubious state agencies) 
must in someway have a desire to fail in the most spectacular manner 
possible  Sadly, just like Detroit, our Federal Gevernment will get 
pressured one day to "Bail Them Out" as California will be deemed "TOO BIG 
TO BE ALLOWED TO FAIL".

However, in the interest of being PC, I will refrain from using words that 
might offend and I formally apologize to any who might be offended.

I find this kind of content very offensive!

This type of traffic is not what this reflector was created for!

I am particularly offended that you have singled out my home state of 
California to insult.
