good [expletive deleted] riddance
By the time you are reading this, Better Half and I should be on our plane and in flight over some state other than Kalifornistan (assuming no delays or other such problems). Furthermore, barring a momentary lapse of judgement when it comes to deciding on future vacation locations, or possibly (hopefully not) future job requirements, it is fairly safe to say that neither of us will ever return to this state of our own free will.
As such, GOOD !@#$%&* RIDDANCE! David is probably right, Kalifornistan is likely to be the front lines of some very interesting gun-rights battles in the near future, especially in light of the recent DC vs. Heller decision. However, gun-rights are only one aspect of the stupidity available in Kalifornistan - you also have your choice cars with lower horsepower than those sold in other states just because of emission requirements, state-sponsored scams in the form of a recycling program, state-sponsored scams in the form of a "smog check" (oh, but not for cars made before 1976... you know, some of the most polluting vehicles out there), absurdly high gas prices, absurdly high cost of living in general, house prices that, while they have burst, are still stratospheric, a Big Brother government that knows no bounds... the list literally goes on longer than I can remember and care to write.
I am definitely a gun nut at this point, but there are a lot of other elements that come into play in my and our lives, and we are quite certain that our lives will be considerably better and happier in another state. Any other state, really.
So, best of luck to everyone else who has either chosen to remain behind in Kalifornistan or is stuck here for other reasons... but as for us, we are tyen-sah out of here! Dong ma?
