we are a pretty diverse cross section out here.Originally posted by mugsy
OH I see how it is....brainwashing me into answering you eh?? lol
I am truly interested in how you are in California and have such a conservative outlook on life.
mom was a demo and dad became a naturalized citizen in his late 70's, that was his dream. we were brought up to look at people as people, not pigeonhole them into categories...conservative?
what's that? lol........... you have the people who complain about everything but do not have the heart to get involved with the issues. we just had a guy spend two months in a tree to keep it from getting cut down, the sheriffs had to take him down....i said we were diverse, not sane!
we become conservative (not me) because we become relaxed and blind (american pride?) with the way things are out here.
as i said before my dad pounded into my head, even tho he could not vote, if you have no vote, you have no voice....a plain and simple belief. and because he had no voice, he was determined to get the message to his kids that we have to be extremely careful and cherish what a wonderful gift it was to live here.
you'll find the people who cannot, do not, or won't vote are the biggest blowhards.
good or bad, better or worse, warts or clear complexion. it's what
we have to work with, like it or not. He taught us that if wwe did not like things, keep your mouth shut and go along with the program, it's a small price paid to reap the benefits of something in your hand that no one else has. whiny complainers are just that, complainers.
a line from a song i heard long ago was-
be vain, be smart, be humble, be dumb.
i guess that was his motto, in a roundabout way
conservative??
people who read from scripts are the ones who get the microphone ( i saw keifer sutherland down the street a few weeks ago....i like the show '24'......did i say we were sane?)
and very rarely we get one who can talk without a script.....
i guess it depends on who you talk to......if you talk to me you'll probably get a skewed version of the facts, if you decide to come on out, don't expect a whole bunch of things.....we can get to the desert, mountain with snow and the beach (80 degrees) in one day, disneyland, universal studios, sunshine and a whole bunch of other stuff..... be forewarned, we have car chases, crime, earthquakes, homeless and all the seedy things that happen under the soft underbelly of a huge metropolis like Los Angeles. But if you decide to come out, bring your sunscreen, shorts and an open mind you'll have a good time.
leave your paranoia and the idea that you'll get pulled out of your car in broad daylight at home......i won't lie to you. but i can guarantee you'll go home and say, "geez, that was fun.."
we ARE the land of fruits and nuts, earthquakes, car chases,
stars and smog.........and some pretty damn good people, when the going gets tough. But, you'll have to find out that for yourself
it was 80 degrees a few days ago......that was a CONSERVATIVE estimate!!
