I cannot say in any way that I have a hatred of CA, I find it to be a beautiful state with amazing weather. I've spent about two weeks in SoCal and may take the family back there on vacation this summer. Hell, I even like some of you poppy heads that live there.
But I do get annoyed at those so caught up in their own little world of sunshine and surf who simply assume that the rest of the USA, particularly the Midwest, consists solely of mouth breathing ignorant racist rednecks. For a state that is so open to other cultures, some of you can be amazingly ignorant of states in your own nation. And the question about farms was not an exaggeration, I've actually been asked that question on several occasions by people from CA.
