So do you think worker comp and unemployment are handouts?
No, I don't.

I doubt the friend I mention would have known that California is a state. She probably thought at the time at Hollywood or Los Angeles was a state, and California was something else.

Are you not familiar with the book "Mexifornia?" It was quite a sensation a couple years ago ... with a big silhouette of California on the cover.
