I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.

Visited CA in my youth a couple times... That was more than enough. No need to ever go there again, much less stay. Besides, we're on track to be CA-Part 2 here.

Not entirely true. Colorado is getting more of a Commiepornia feel in general but Colorado Springs is somewhat of a hold-out (albeit backsliding).
The easy passage of a 1% sales tax increase to fund road maintenance was somewhat of a danger signal to me. I don't really care about 1% of anything but the way TPTB fought automatic sunsetting was a warning sign. It they were serious about it being a temporary bump to get past some needed maintenance now, they wouldn't have had a problem with the tax increase automatically sunsetting in 5-10 years with provision to renew. Instead, they wrote it to automatically renew unless specifically revoked.
OTOH, folks down in C Springs are still generally more resistive against encroaching government than up in the Denver area.

Kinda true... I got pulled over in SoCal with an acquaintance while we were motorcycling (sportbikes, at about 20mph > the limit) and my acquaintance adopted the tough-guy-F-cops attitude, I adoped the "yes, sir!" polite attitude. Acquaintance got the $300 ticket, I got off with a warning. The cop hadn't even talked to us separately.

I remember when I used to laugh at California for having mag limits...now we're there. In a not too distant future, it'll be "More Colorado Bullsh**".
