One gets the impression that the state is run by college freshmen and sophomores who are also members of some radical, extremist group. <br /><br />Will the voters ever wake up? Probably not. If I were a younger man I would flee with the outgoing crowd to better shores.Stogiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05852841950131130696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16646992.post-91328043758742636832012-04-30T10:28:30.713-10:002012-04-30T10:28:30.713-10:00Rita,

Sure, the economy matters -- poverty isn't conducive to quality of life -- but endlessly adding more people to the population so there are more customers usually doesn't make better living conditions.Rick Darbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02371910140619422820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16646992.post-8695636672682360912012-04-30T05:58:09.781-10:002012-04-30T05:58:09.781-10:00Your latest post has me holding my head (in mental...Your latest post has me holding my head (in mental anguish) & laughing out loud. <br /><br />I have never been to California & have only heard horror stories from those who have been there. Problem is most of the world is becoming an ever denser Hell filled w/ noise, traffic & pollution. <br /><br />Fareed Zakaria touted similiar views to Greenhut, observing that in 2050 USA will still be an economically vibrant country w/ a young population due to immigration, as compared to other developed nations w/ aging populations. Apparently population density has no impact on quality of life as long as we have money.<br />RitaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16646992.post-12499603915551003452012-04-29T16:36:08.931-10:002012-04-29T16:36:08.931-10:00Rick, in response to your last post, I have added ...Rick, in response to your last post, I have added a blog archive in the sidebar.
