no, we don't

We really, really don't.

We're a state of narcissists (said the guy who think's he's so important he has a blog). We recalled Gray Davis for getting screwed by Enron and daring to raise the car tax in order to balance the budget, and then elect Arnold Fucking Schwarzenegger. Then, when Arnold finally figures out that you can't balance the budget without some sort of tax increase, we vote against that, too. We refuse to even discuss Prop 13. We allow developers to do just about anything they want. We think we lead the country, yet we vote for Prop 8, while freaking Iowa legalizes gay marriage. We're home to Michael Savage, Paris Hilton, and Perez Hilton. We have Stockton, Modesto, and Bakersfield. I could go on and on.

Don't get me wrong, I love California. We also have Big Sur, Tony Gwynn, and Superior Dairy. I was born,  raised, and will most likely die here. But to say we deserve any better than what we have is ridiculous, and yes, narcissistic.
