I remember when Pete Wilson got elected and to teach the CHP a lesson for not backing him in the election, he tried to change their name to something less glamorous (remember at the time there was a show on tv CHiPs). It was going to cost billions of dollars just to change the hwy signs, decals on the vehicles and DMV handbooks. Does anyone really think California still has the money to become six separate states because one egotistical billionaire wants to live in the state of "Silicone Valley"? The six states would have to hit the ground with their feet running. They could not start over and would have to adopt existing state law, thereby staying exactly what they are now. Over regulated and overtaxed.


Farming, or anything else for that matter, is easy when your plow's a keyboard and you're a 1000 miles from the field.
