California is a hugely diverse state. And, with all of the industries and special interest groups here, it is no wonder that the state has lots of problems.
Our economy is gigantic, and powered by two centers, one in the north and one in the south. These two centers remain "islands" of liberals (mostly) while the rest of the state dread getting within hundreds of miles of our two rival city borders.
It's truly amazing that anything ever gets done here. (sometmes it doesn't)
Throw in an earthquake or fire disaster here and there and we've got even more problems...
Our former governor, Jerry Brown, now mayor of Oakland, is now running for Attorney General. Jerry's father, Pat Brown, ruled the state...like the Kennedy family rules Massachusetts...and like the Duponts rule Delaware. Governor Arnie is now married into the Kennedy family and…is this beginning to sound like Peyton Place, Dynasty ??? Do people care anymore about integrity or stardom and fame???
