- I personally am not surprised - I mean, if you live in a pit, but you
- are free to move to a paradise.... No I don't think the general
- sentiment being echoed here is surprise - it is more along the lines of
- unhappiness - unhappiness in seeing what the flow of Californians is
- doing to the state.

- Maybe... but why can't they go back to where they came from in the first
- place? :) They went to California lookin' for gold, found nothing, and
- now want to come to Oregon... I've been torturing my brain trying to
- think of some way to fix this problem, and come up with zip... maybe a
- bubonic plague scare or something... a band of really hostile loggers
- listening to "A Country Boy Can Survive" on repeat at the OR-CA border
- as a welcoming committee? I still wish the 'Visit... but Don't Stay'
- sign could have went up... really.
