Wouldn't it suck if we gave the red staters their actual electoral votes... The east bay by itself would trump the whole middle of america I bet! And they call us marginalized hehe

How about if we Red staters gave you the actual food you raise? I'll bet that after about six months of that, you would give us all the electorial votes we would want. By then we wouldn't want any.

heh - I have a feeling that you'd need the things "blue states" provide just as much if not more than the things that "red states" provide. I say we go for this map....

:cookie:

I've been to California. I wasn't impressed.
I've been there too. My daughter tried to get me to retire to CA. Good place to visit, but who would want to live there? I really liked my camping trip to Big Sur. Met some really strange Californians in the camp ground.
Need to head to San Diego or up to Monterey/Santa Cruz.


I spent a lot of time in school in San Diego. I used to jog around Mission Bay and tried to stay in the Blue Sea Lodge because it was on the water. The food was great and I did enjoy the area. I stayed in San Jose a good bit when Schultz was SecState. We stayed in some Hawaiian motif hotel there, had free Mondavi wine delivered to the rooms and some cookie company keep dropping off tins of cookies. That is where I was introduced to See's Candies and I order them in the Internet now. Not a bad place, but I still wouldn't like to live there. You'd have to win the lottery to buy a nice house. If I could have the ranch house at Big Sur - Humm!

OK, I do admit that one negative to living in AL is dodgeing the preachers. But they have a right to be here. I usually tell them a couple of my "Preachers I have known" stories and they depart. Nothing against the church (whatever denomination), it does provide a lot of spiritual support when people need it and probably does keep things more sane than without. It also provides a glue that binds society together. The point that I keep making is that any belief system does the same thing. Most of the anti-church liberals I read here have their own churchy belief system that works for them. Doesn't work for me, works for them.

To fairly judge the number of ?nuts? you should add each pastor/priest as a psychologist as well.

Well a lot have flamed you.

SURPRISE!

I'm not. I don't do religious bickering, because I think both sides can get carried away and stupid.

That said, I don't think religion has much to do with this because if so, the teen pregnancy rates would be lower, not higher. Seems that more teenage pregnancies are indicative of a problem as well.

I just don't see God saying "I'll make you whole of mind, but your kids are going to get knocked up"

I think Glenn1's statistic may be accurate, but interpreting it's true meaning and significance could take up a life's work and maybe more.

You got a link to prove those teen pregnancy rates. Your thesis sounds wrong to me.

Has anyone brought up the statistic that divorces are considerably higher in the red states than blue states? The state with the lowest divorce rate in US is Massachucetts. Explain that.

Lawyers work cheaper? More a feeling of "Don't fence me in", in the Red states?
