I am new to this newsgroup however, I'm not new to California.
I moved away from California after 43 years and miss it
terribly. I would be interested in what is happening in California
these days. Am I in the right newsgroup?
If not, any suggestions on where I should look?

I'm new to this group as well (but still living in California), but it
seems to me that after a cursory scanning of the headers in here that
perhaps this group should be called alt.racial.tension instead of
alt.california

You're right, but then, newsgroups are what we make them. Alt.california
would be more like what you and Janet expected it to be (and according
to its charter and my opinion, what it should be) if people made
postings appropriately. You always have the option of ignoring the
racially-oriented posts and posting on the specific topics that interest
you, and that you feel are more suited to the group's purposes.

Yes,you would be in the right newsgroup. Just yesterday,the Calstate
legislature passed a budget and sent it to the governor of California.

No kidding, but most of the hate comes from people that don't even
live in California, they have just attached themselves to this
newgroup like ticks.

CA changes as new tides might come in. Presently Southern California
is mostly Hispanic and it comes as a jolt. (Seriously.) No has any
tolerance for college student protests-those days are over. CA is
struggling against communism presently and there is a link to the fact
that CA is now the lowest scorers academically. (The ignorant can't do
for self syndrome.) Religiously you are free here. A person with
religious bigotry would one day discover he or she can't make it
through the parking lot.
The CA of 43 years ago is long gone. The lovely Orange County suburbs
are just stucco slums without one tree or open field left. Piles upon
piles of people, an ever increasing birth rate (And illiteracy) as
conditions worsen, and the smog is unfathomable. L.A. County is now
one of the poorest in the nation.

Care to mention the millions of carpetbaggers from south of the
border? I give blame to both. So can you.

"Mostly" to me means over 50% or a majority. Southern California is not over
50% Hispanic, so your statement is false.

Did the carpetbaggers from the East bring poverty?

Stop spreading misinformation. I'm sure that demographically, Orange
County is probably in the top 10% if not 5% of the wealthiest counties
in America.

And do you have proof that L.A. County is amongst the poorest in the
nation? This is utter bullshit.

pollution problem here. Garbage lines most of the streets and trash blows
incessantly down the highways and ditches.
Also, some Californians seem not to like trees. I mean, a lot of houses
have not even one single tree in the yard. I would think folks would want
some shade in summertime, but that's just my opinion.
It is not my business to care whether someone has a tree in their yard, but
why we do not hire folks to clean our streets, and why we do not enforce the
littering laws is beyond me.
Other large metropolitan areas are clean and tidy, and California could be
clean as well. California is one of the most beautiful states in the
nation, but at present she is being buried under old newspapers, fast food
wrappers, beer bottles etc..
If I were king, nothing would get done until the streets and byways of this
great state were clean and tidy. The cities would put folks on the payroll
whose sole job it would be to pick up trash and maintain the streets,
ditches, and vacant lots. Those who owned vacant lots would be billed for
their clean up. Those without jobs would have jobs, good pay, and would
feel proud of what they accomplish.
Everyone feels better when things are nice and neat. If folks feel better,
they act better toward each other.

I'm talking about the general affluence of the population, not how
