That is highly debatable.

Trump’s Flimsy Conspiracy Theories Backfire

One must keep in mind that President Donald Trump’s conspiracy theories are not even well-devised conspiracies. They hardly pass the straight-face test. (If the FBI wanted Hillary Clinton to …

Should I continue? I can keep this up all day long if need be.

Such as Sacramento? No I’ve never been there. I’ve been to Los Angeles, Santa Barbara, Palm Springs, Joshua Tree, Monterey, Santa Cruz, San Francisco, Mill Valley, Santa Rosa to name a few places.
 
Well there’s your problem. You need to visit Baker, Fresno, Clovis…

And if I did what would I discover? Just curious.

I’m just giving you grief. 😊

Baker is a teeny tiny little town on I-15 between Los Angeles and Las Vegas. It’s a desert area with cactus, low scrub, and some sort of cactus tree-like things that are actually quite lovely in their own way. Baker has this enormous thermometer that is visible from the highway. Two years ago when we drove through, the temp was 117 F. Last week when we drove through (we’re visiting family this week) it was only 86 F.

My experiences of central California (i.e., Fresno) were of a hot, stale flatland. This is the agricultural area of California, and thank God for it! But it’s not what most people would think of as beautiful or comfortable.

People who have only seen the coastal areas of California really don’t know all of California. The desert areas and central valley make up half or more of the state, and the landscapes and people (i.e., values, finances, work) are so different from the highly populated coastal regions that it’s like being in another state!

Some people adore the desert. Some love the mountains. Some love the coast.

Some love densely populated cities. Some love small towns, or even isolation.

I’ve lived in and travelled all over California – just never found anyplace I loved. So I moved to Colorado and have been happy as a clam.

If you love California, I pray God opens the doors to allow you to settle there. Many, many families have been happy there for generations!

that is what we have been told.

I also think it is what the evidence points to. There used to be a competing theory, known as multi-regionalism, which said that modern humans evolved from archaic human populations spread out over multiple continents, and which suggested that some of the traits we see in different ‘races’ today was derived from differences in those ancestral archaic populations, but that has fallen out of favor.

I’ve been to Palm Springs and Joshua Tree but that’s my only experience with the desert in California. I doubt I’ll ever move there but my sister lives in Sonoma County so from time to time I’ll probably get a chance to visit. Colorado actually edges out California in my personal ‘favorite state’ rankings. I’m an adaptable fellow - I can find something to love in just about all of our states. Really love the West though recently - something about the spirit of the people.

You know, despite all it has going for it, I kind of missed the green vegetation after awhile (when I was there everything was a golden-brown color - it was just before those wildfires broke out).

California needs to break up because it doesn’t seem to do a good job of managing the state as it is.
 
The problem is that they get tired of all of the problems in California so they move to other states and vote for the same policies and types of people that created all of the problems in California they’re trying to get away from.
 
yes, we have had a lot move here to Arizona and they have turned Colorado from red to blue.
