Ha! When I lived in Texas, I dated a gal from Austin. I also lived in Austin for a while there. I agree--too many yuppies and liberal sissies. She has lived in Austin for several years, and she too blamed it on the Kalifornians.
The shitty pary is that those Kalifornia assholes elect all these socialists to their state government. Now, they're paying the price with huge taxes, a $30 BILLION deficit (that's for one year!) and all kinds of crazy laws. Naturally, this drives those people OUT of California to neighbooring states like Nevada where people there have traditionally been anti-government, and the displaced Kalifornians pollute the voting populations there, thus bringing the scourge of liberalism to states that used to be a safe haven from that bullshit.
For just one example, in the past few years, in Austin, the transplanted liberals in Austin got the city council to pass a law that bans smoking in all restaurants prior to 3:00PM (or maybe it's noon; I forget). Whether smoking bothers you or not, you gotta hang your head and cry when you see people voting away others' private property rights like that.
One funny thing is that there's this crazy transvestite bum (yes, bum as in beggar) who's off his rocker. Everyone knows him (I think his name's Leslie) because he panhandles on 6th street, which is the big weekend party district in Austin. He also has a huge contraption on wheels that he rolls around and hangs anti-police signs on the contraption saying the cops are hassling him. Anyways, "Leslie" ran for mayor a few years back and got somewhere around 10-20% of the vote. I think that's great. Shows those politicians just how much respect they really have from their subjects.
