Sounds like Nevada is literally overflowing with crazies. That doesn't surprise me... living in a desert does tend to produce mental illness.

I can see why various s.e.d. lurkers would be down on California. After all, what has California ever done for electronics?

Am happy with that, as long as they don't come here.

all,

One of the reasons my wife and I didn't move to California, back in the ear ly 1980's when she was offered a job there, was that housing was too expens ive.

From then on electronics start-ups tended to start up in places where the h ousing market was under less pressure - normal free-market economics, rathe r than Californian taxes, which had - at that time - recently been capped b y Proposition 13, and seem to have been screwed up further by subsequent st ate-wide referendums, where a few free-spending nitwits would persuade the voters to support measure that suited the nitwits self-perceived short-term interests.

But that's just one series of examples of America's oligarchies in action.

The nitwits don't tend to come to Europe, but their silly ideas are more mobile.

The European Central Bank might as well be run by Herbert Hoover, Milton Friedman or Allan Greenspan. None of them would be any less enthusiastic about turning a recession into a depression.

Wafer fabs have gone the way of wire bonding and packaging, to places with cheap land/water/energy/labor.

A lot of design is still done here, and corporate HQs. The SF peninsula is jammed with software types lately, pushing out lots of ordinary people. The Apple/Google/Yahoo busses are splattering oblivious, overpaid script kiddies all over our neighborhoods.

The real problem is the lack of land... nowhere to spread out.

Lebensraum in German. Any vegetarian anti-smoking candidate for the governe rship of California should be treaed with suspicion, particularly if he (or she) sports a toothbrush moustache. Watch out for heavily armed little old ladies in tennis-shoes gathering anywhere along its borders.

Thompson doesn't make jokes. It's just not in him. He only makes mean.

Johnny Horton had the answer to that. "North, to Alaska...". Or they could migrate to Mars. ;-)

Larkin, I'm sorry you have such a lousy sense of humor. In fact I'd describe you as totally humorless. ...Jim Thompson
