I blame the poisonous vapors emitting from constant earthquakes for the dysfunctionality of Californians

Not joking ....I am serious, I tell you.  It gotta be the constant tremors which are responsible for making mush of people's brains over there.  First and above all, one has to be somewhat crazy to make one's home in the part of the USA which could have its own mass funeral services  without a living soul in attendance when the Big One hits.

....This week,   the California Secretary of State’s office gave initial approval to a proposal that would split the Golden State into six new ones: Jefferson, North California, Silicon Valley, Central California, West California and South California.

A plan to divide California  into six separate US states is closer to making it on to a November ballot, with organizers gaining approval to collect signatures.

The seemingly far-fetched initiative, sponsored by Silicon Valley venture capitalist Tim Draper, claims "political representation of California's diverse population and economies has rendered the state nearly ungovernable."..........
