Subject: The Differences of California and Arizona
The Differences of California and Arizona
In California
The Governor of California is jogging with his dog along a nature trail.
A coyote jumps out, bites the Governor and attacks his dog.
1. The Governor starts to intervene, but reflects upon the movie "Bambi" and then realizes he should stop; the coyote is only doing what is natural.
2. He calls Fish and Game, which captures coyote. It costs the
State $200 to test the coyote for diseases and $500 for relocating it.
3. He calls a veterinarian. The vet collects the dead dog and bills the State $200 to test it for diseases.
4. The Governor goes to hospital and spends $3,500 getting checked for diseases from the coyote and getting his bite wound bandaged.
5. The running trail gets shut down for 6 months while Fish & Game conduct a $100,000 survey to make sure the area is free of dangerous animals.
6. A "coyote awareness" program is implemented for residents of the
area using $50,000 in state funds.
7. The State Legislature spends $2 million to study how to better treat rabies and how to permanently eradicate the disease throughout the world.
8. The Governor's security agent is fired for not stopping the attack somehow and for letting the Governor attempt to intervene.
9. Additional cost to State of California: $75,000 to hire and train a new security agent with additional special training re: the nature of coyotes.
10. PETA protests the coyote's relocation and files suit against the State, resulting in over $1 Million in legal costs and lost productivity.
In Arizona
The Governor of Arizona is jogging with her dog along a nature trail.
A Coyote jumps out and attacks her dog.
1. The Governor shoots the coyote with her State-issued pistol and keeps jogging. The Governor has spent $0.50 on a .45 ACP hollow point cartridge.
2. The buzzards eat the dead coyote.
And that's why California is broke.

Texas is where Governor Perry shot the Coyote with his Ruger .380/ Ruger is now marketing it as the "Coyote Special" in commemoration.

CA is broke because of an electorate that is dumb enough to continue electing people like Barbara Boxer, Maxine Waters, Gil Cedillo, etc. CA is broke because the feds refuse to control the border and continue to let the state be overrun by illegals. CA is broke because the feds won't pay the carrying costs of all the illegals who are causing parts of the state's infrastructure to collapse. CA is broke because too many of the people who live here bought into the idea that things would always be good and there would be no limit to the amount they could spend. CA is broke because of the nutball greenies who indirectly control too much of the state's economy. The reasons are endless. The OP's story has way too much truth in it.

Hi mc,
Do you mean to say "...instead of doing work there" or "...instead of doing their work".
Not being a native English speaker I tend to get confused.

I can tell you for a fact that there are no state workers posting on any gun site, this one included. There is an extensive list of restricted sites on that system. I know, I tried. hahaha
And California does have a lot of problems. The majority of which could be solved by some rational tax laws and less middle income gouging. It tried to be everything to everyone. An obvious impossibility. But it ain't alone. There are many states in deep $hit too for whatever reasons. Some of them have been forever. The only thing really positive about CA is that it's just stupid, not corrupt like too many other places - they just give the money away and don't steal it. And even tho I'll be in AZ asap - it's pretty stupid too in it's own way. And broke.
FTW - - it's the same everywhere, just different details

The only thing really positive about CA is that it's just stupid, not corrupt CA is both stupid and corrupt, but not as corrupt as some other places. As an example, look at the Villaraigosa administration in Los Angeles (he's the mayor), with his free ticket scam and his series of bimbos. Look at the L.A. County Board of Supervisors and their imperial lifestyle, with what amounts to election for life. Look at the recent revelations in the city of Bell (Rizzo, et al). Look at the recent election fiasco in the city of Vernon (aka, Vermin). The city manager, son of the former mayor, did not like the probable election results, so he confiscated the ballot box. State AG has demanded that the box be released, but the city manager is not budging. There is plenty of corruption, and you don't have to look very far. But stupidity does overwhelm the corruption, for the most part. At least we are not in Illinois. Lately, it seems the the only thing really positive about CA is the weather.

Quote "And even tho I'll be in AZ asap - it's pretty stupid too in it's own way. And broke." Yep that's us we're pretty stupid. We elected a democrat governor* who proceeded to create a huge budget deficit where none existed before. One of the primary causes is the huge amount of unpaid expenses due to illegal immigrant services. We are trying to get at the heart of the problem by deporting illegals and what happens? We get sued by the Obama administration for violating their civil rights. And I might add trying to enfore immigration policies the Federal Government should enforce. *Shipped her off to Washington D.C. where she belongs. We're also stupid for enacting gun laws like universal concealed carry for law abiding citizens. Any liberal idiot knows this will lead to "blood in the streets". However;The only blood we see flowing regularly is from gangbangers and drug dealers many of whom are illegals. The only resemblence between Arizona and California is nice weather. Get Out And VOTE This November!! Jim
