I live in California and I don't think anyone has destroyed the California economy. We've just reached a crossroads and we need to figure out which way to go.
Republican ideas are grand, but if the Republicans were in charge, people would be buying and selling "view lots" in Yosemite. Republicans exploit natural resources, leaving nothing but waste behind. Even the Chinese learn from California.
Ok, Anonymous, don't take this the wrong way, but GET YOUR DAMN HEAD OUT OF THE SAND. WAKE UP.

Budget Crisis (possibly caused by a toxic business environment and decreased farm production not being able to support public paychecks and programs?) http://www.csmonitor.com/USA/Politics/2010/0729/California-budget-emergency-bid-to-recoup-6-billion-in-pensions http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1910985,00.html

And as far as your "Republicans hate the environment" ad hominem attack, FUCK YOU. Teddy Roosevelt and a couple other conservatives like Gifford Pinchot and John Muir started our National Park system. The difference between CONSERVATION and "Non-Use" is that Conservation means "WISE USE" and what you think of as "wilderness preservation" is non-use. Your assertion that "republicans would be selling view lots in Yosemite" is a blatant falsehood and you should be ridiculed for your stupidity, you mouth breathing sub monkey twit.
But hey, if Anonymous is typical of Califonia voters, the state deserves to fail. And as far as China learning from California? You bet, the Chinese know a bad example when they see one.

Managed use is why there are still Cape in Tanzania, Botswana, and RSA.
Lack of managed use is why there are basically NO Cape in Zim and Angola.
Even a monkey can figure out that us hunter assholes spend a whole lot more money on keeping animals and ecology going than people that are in PETA groups.
The resurgence of American Wetland Birds and Pheasant/Grouse had NOTHING to do with the EPA and a whole lot to do with HUNTERS.
Same with Turkey and Prarie Chickens.
I've got a relation that is anti-gun and anti-hunting and bragged to me about how she sent something like 20 bucks to anti-gun people and anti-hunting people and I once fed an African village and bought them school books, NO JOKE. And BECAUSE of people like us, the ecology is treated as a valuable resource instead of an agricultural pest to farmers, both in the US and the rest of the world.
Fishing licenses pay for fish hatcheries. People that protest fishing pay for what???
Oh, NOTHING, yah, that was what I was thinking too!
Hey, there are still some of us in California that do not share 'Anonymous Californian's opinions. Sadly we are few and completely surrounded. There is no fighting our way out of this encirclement, though, and no-one can rescue us. Of course 'they' mean non-use where we mean 'wise use', of course there is no logic to their arguments, but sadly we are the psych staff in an asylum taken over by the patients, and some of us cannot just un-ass the AO. The list of insane policies we have to deal with would fill many many pages... Wish us luck as we ride it out! LOL
The very best thing for California now is a complete and total collapse.
Sometimes it is cheaper and easier to let something fall. Then you can clear the rubble and build again.
