I have noticed quite a bit of resentment towards Californians leaving
to relocate to other states: Washington, Oregon, Nevada, Utah, and
more recently the midwest, northeast and the south. I find it fascinating
that the same negative atitudes Californians applied to the "Okies"
is now being applied to Californians.

This is another example of intolerance eventually catching up with
the intolerant. Maybe we can learn this lession and be more tolerant
of one another.

As for 187, I still have not seen a flood of illegal immigrants leave
the state. Hmmm, I wonder when this event is suppost to happen?
Of course, since these people will be branded as Californians,
no-one will want them. :-)
