I too live in So Cal...6 years ago in anticipation of military retirement, my husband and I bought property in Texas....soon, very soon we will be out of this place. $4.30 a gallon is just the tip of the iceberg....so many things wrong with this state.....and I have lived here most of my life (my husband is from Texas). As Davy Crockett once said “You can all go to Hell and I'm going to Texas. ”

So now only Hollywood and criminals will have weapons.....nicely played NY.

"good presidential candidate because of his connections, effective fundraising, and knowledge of the political process." Nothing about his leadership abilities, ideas for turning around the country, foreign policy, etc...all those little unimportant aspects of being president....oh wait, I misspoke....those are only things that are necessary for a Republican to be president....never-mind.

My kid went to pre-k twice a week ( that was all we could afford on an enlisted sailor's pay) and graduated with honors from college. Imagine what would have been if government paid for full time pre-k.

Communism, fascism, and socialism may all be termed collectivist systems. See also communitarianism; kibbutz; moshav.
