Thank you, OS.

My father in law (RIP) used to say that all the nuts and fruits fell left to California.

A coworker at the subase in Georgia used to say he did not want people moving to Florida and Georgia from California becasue he didn't want them to Californicate his area.

I warn anyone who thinks of coming here to California that the earthquakes are terrible.


As for the courts, I think sometimes they are there to give stability to the gyrations of the electorate whether in the executive or legislative branch.

Of course our founding fathers would be appalled at the power of the Presidency now. They viewed the president as an admistrator of a federal goverment with the legislative branch determining policy that the president would administer. That's why only Congress was given the power to declare war, then the president would act as commander in chief to wage the war. That's something that seems to have been forgotten in the last century.
