    No one likes California--you either love it or you hate it.

    People like to rag on it because of its liberal views and cutting-edge laws; however, 95% of the automobiles sold in the U.S. and Canada are produced to meet California emissions standards.

    If you've never lived in California, then it's laws have never affected you; therefore, you aren't allowed to say anything bad about it--just eat your words and swallow your pride.

      In Oregon we historically hated California (not me as I was born in San Francisco). As we started getting high tech industries and wealth ourselves we started getting over our petty jealousies of our southern neighbor....

      Just got back from a business trip to San Francisco. It appears that their economy is hurting BAD. High office space vacancy and increasing unemployment. SARS will be bad for them as they have strong links to asia. Hopefully they will pull out of it quickly as a poor San Francisco economy can only hurt us up here in the north as well.

      Good time, however, to vacation there as it is cheaper than normal.

        As it turns out, SARS has only killed 4% of the total people infected with it. Most of the people are recovering from it--according to the FOX news ticker anyway.

          My wife always referred to CA as another country. Then when we drove out here from SC and when through the "border crossing" she was sure of it.
