Ya know, if,
if, Ahnold were to actually follow through on his little threat, then that alone would automatically make California the freest state in the USA. Think about it......
- no more welfare state; all the various leeches living off the blood of me and millions of other productive persons would cut out for the nearest liberal "deepwater" ports-of-call (Portland, Phoenix, Las Vegas and Mexico).
- drastically fewer gummint agencies; their displaced "employees" would by necessity follow the leeches wherever they go.
- state population would decrease probably by at least half, from 37 mil to maybe 17-18 mil (wholly managable, I think), with about half of that living in/around its biggest cities.
- the relatively few freedom-loving gun-toters still here would ideally make themselves more visible/audible, and would attract more like-minded individuals to relocate here and raise their families.
- the markets would certainly be a lot freer and would flourish in the absence of big gummint, as nature abohrs a vacuum.
Hmmmm......maybe I oughtta stick around?!?!

(yeah....and how pink
is that elephant, anyway??
