that doesn't mean all white people are good, they are no different than any other race, good, and bad.

but, ive been here for 46 years, came from so. calif in 1968. have never been back to so. cal. never missed it.


Where in So. Cal. did you live?


I was born in long beach, grew up in Buena park, graduated 1960 Buena park high school,

lived in Torrance, ca. in 66 67 worked in the shipyards during the Vietnam war, tough years, violence everywhere in the 60s,

glad I left so. cal. like I say, been up here 46 years, there is a lake right in my town , in the center of the city.

but, brother is it conservative politically here.


I went for my master's degree at Cal State Long Beach and live near Huntington Beach, about ten miles from Long Beach and Buena Park. Surprised that you would leave a Democrat bastion like California to Republican Idaho. I know that Cal was more conservative when you left, but today the state can't move far enough to the Left. When you were here Sam Yorty was the Los Angeles mayor and was a Democrat, then it went to Bradley and went even more to the Left.
