I used to love California, back in the 1980s. Couldn't believe the dumpster fire I found the last time I visited, in 2015. I don't see how there is any salvaging it without a drastic lowering of living standards. Children have been running it, propped up by aerospace and other federal largesse.

Sounds like California is fining the heck out of property owners, farmers, and other responsible people. Pretty soon they'll have nothing but wealthy coastal keeps and a whole bunch of hapless serfs.

Huh . . . I always read Zinn in college as an opposite pole from jingoism; I could not take his words as truth. But here's a difference: I was half a decade older than my classmates and could think for myself.

Indeed. I have a sister-in-law who lives there. Haven't met her yet, and probably never will, if she doesn't come visit us. I have no desire to be sucker-punched by androgynous toddlers in ski masks.

Yes you can. Just ask around.

The scales fell off my eyes finally when I witnessed the media drumbeat to go to war in Iraq. It was totally dishonest and dissention was quashed.

My Army sergeant father volunteered to be a test subject in a 29-kiloton atomic bomb explosion 64 years ago. We just lost him last June. Thank you, Dad. Rest in peace, soldier brave, God is nigh.

@pmritzen2597 I'm one of many formerly moderate Dems who no longer recognizes her old party. Used to be a local Democratic chair who was gradually disillusioned by how the party has no use for members except as votes or as money sources. I let my membership lapse, then watched in horror as the weird intersectional factions began to dominate. Result: Dems have become so grotesque that I cast a protest vote for Trump, not expecting much. To my surprise, the guy turns out to be rather common-sense and effective in his policies. Life is good and my conscience is clear. I wish the Dems would learn something from this, but sadly, they keep on screaming at the sky.

Thank you, President Trump, for restoring deterrence.

Wisconsin, here, and Illinois is our version of California--overextended, entitled, corrupt, and polluting neighboring states with the Chicago Way.

And it isn't that apologies per se are wrong--it's that apologizing to a mob smells like an attack pheromone to them.

There is nothing wrong with a conservative deploring income inequality when it is the result of cronyism and regulatory capture, which it is.

@yengsabio5315 I know someone who graduated with psychology, LGBT Studies and Gender Studies. I have no idea what she'll do. Probably not an MRS. degree--her boyfriend looks as if he has negative testosterone levels.

@hobobo9 : They work under the table and for peanuts, you dim bulb. Employers will try to get away with that for as long as no one objects.

That bit about the beach . . . In 2015, my husband and I were on Venice Beach with a six-pack of microbrew. Then this guy in a bathing suit comes up to tell us no alcohol allowed. We shrug and put it away, then light a couple of cigars. Suddenly, a Jeep pulls up in our view and 2 H2B workers with Slavic accents tell us no smoking . . . because the people 50 yards behind us were getting our secondhand smoke. We stub the cigars out, my husband turns to me and says, "I f*cking hate California." We're from that other Progressive-Era laboratory, Wisconsin, where micromanaging others' behavior never took hold.

@boy Your facts are reversed. Civil Rights Act was passed several years before MLK was murdered.

I once edited a book for a physician, and am impressed at his humility and wisdom to seek one. He had great ideas, but had set them down in his usual history & physical style.

@4lc441 in actual fact, engineering departments and engineering students tend not to be infected with cultural Marxism. This toxic miasma of critical theory and political axes being ground is mainly emanating from humanities departments and making studying humanities itself nothing but a big joke.

So you're as intolerant about abortion as a Democrat? Cute.

My sister has lived in Humboldt County for 40 years, and every time I would visit her, more and more of her native Californian friends would complain about how they were being priced out of their hometowns: Trinidad, Eureka, Arcata, McKinleyville. Of course they're all incurable Democrats, because reasons.

@blankslate6590 You've probably never looked at 1800s country doctor obstetric tools for killing and extracting a baby stuck in the birth canal before it killed its mother. Abortion, regrettable as it is, will always be with us, and is part of conservative values. Just ask me--I had one against my will, since my much-wanted son was a goner, stuck in the birth canal at 19 weeks, about to die, and putting my life and fertility at risk. Yes, Democrats are making abortion a grotesque sideshow, but unless you have been up against the wall, like me, shut the hell up. You're ignorant of traditional medical practice.

What is breeding this censorious culture? This is nothing like the political climate 35 years ago, when I was a young woman, coming of age.

cindybin2001 My sister had the same experience in a black high school in the early 1970s, only she got groped and laughed at in the hallways. Her conclusion was the same as yours. Having your crotch grabbed with impunity is hard to forget.

Most people do, honey---just not past the first trimester, much.

Hard to believe that these laughable children have any clout at all. But then again, I live in Wisconsin, which only has one small piece of Portland in it, surrounding our flagship campus. The rest of us live in reality.

@willtheprodigy3819 So what? So what if they weren't dropped? Would you have the courage to place your body at the edge of total destruction during a nuclear blast, then march within yards of the molten detonation tower? What is your point? I don't think even you know what it is. By the way, at 64 years out from Apple 2 test shot, my dad was one of the last to die. He was lucky. I'm sure he and all the other Atomic Veterans would appreciate your thanks, if you had the class to thank them.
