haha…not my favorite person in the world. But if you have read anything about Mark Dayton (likely next governor), you might think Bachmann was a hallmark of sanity. Minnesotans are horrible voters (see Jesse the Body Ventura), but they sure as hell are no worse than California. I am not trying to leave for the politics…I am trying to leave because of the pervasive values. The lack of responsibility and rampant materialism that is so ubiquitous in Southern California chiefly is the reason for my dislike of it here.
It is not the 150 years of California history that I am decrying, it is what has happened to it in the last 25 years that is so offensive.
pri_dk, I do love the outdoors dearly, and it is one of the other reasons I do not want to go to MN too soon. I can not wait for the proximity to my favorite place on earth, the sierras. They are what brought me here, and they are the last thing keeping me here.
