Well, you may be onto something there. I've never been considered either a
liberal or a Democrat, and since the 1960 election, I've never voted for a
Democrat except for Al Gore. That was not a vote FOR the Democrat, BTW.

I don't support Califorism either. In fact, the only bumper sticker I've ever
carried around on my car said, "Don't Californicate Colorado." The
West-coast notion that you can legislate good sense is hopefully dead there,
though it lives on here. I'm hoping something miraculous happens here pretty
soon. Unfortunately we get 2 Californians in for every one that leaves to go
back there. Back in the '50's it was the Texans. I don't know which is
worse.
