Paul Minnaert Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Well Ben you start something, and if you get a reply you close the topic??? What’s the problem with California? The have the most stringent pollution norms, and the biggest cars. And a movie star as governor. Looks pretty normal to me. Average American. Link to comment

Bbennett Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 My opinion: California tries a little too hard. I believe the word is "strident". Unfortunately I think this is an American characteristic but California is past its prime by 25 years and revealing itself to be the desert that it always has been. There are some exceptional places there but it is not the best of America. Link to comment
Skeeve Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 My opinion: California tries a little too hard. I believe the word is "strident". Unfortunately I think this is an American characteristic but California is past its prime by 25 years and revealing itself to be the desert that it always has been. There are some exceptional places there but it is not the best of America. Â I believe it was Woody Guthrie [Arlo's dad] who penned "California is the garden of eden... but don't come here if you ain't got the dough-re-mi!" Â In more ways than one, it is the "golden west." Or should I say "gilded?" It's a complex place, with a quality that's hard to define. Probably why one of my favorite movies [if not the favorite!] is L.A. Story. Simply brilliant satire, utterly silly to anyone who hasn't lived here, completely deadpan for anyone who has. Â But I digress. Â What was deBen apologizing for CA for? Did our fine state pull some bureaucratic blunder again? Link to comment

Steve G. Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 We better stop talking about it, or something deemed nasty will kill the thread like the other one. Wouldn't want to submit nastyness to the uneducated flock. Steve Link to comment
