Hey Mr 5.0 i think im gonna have to disagree with ya about what you mentioned about california. Im not sure how deep set on your comment you are but if you truly believe that youve fallen victim to a stereotype.
California as a whole has not been ran over by liberals and gays. yes they are here but im sure there arent any more than there are in the East.
I agree Gray Davis is an idiot and we do have high taxes and gas etc. You could call that a burden but its what we like to call the "Sunshine Tax" here
I would much rather pay more for stuff like that and have the greatest weather anywhere than live in snow lol.
Anyways i just had to say that. Northern California i guess could be considered more liberal and Southern California maybe isnt as much but California is so diverse you cant just say its ovverun by liberals and gays etc.
Just my humble opinion of course
Anyways good luck on the move Inferno!
Later,
Nick
