Milt Nelson: Why I Left People’s Republic Of Kalifornia
re: Survivalist fear meltdown, eye Idaho
Consider the situation in 'The People's Republic of Kalifornia' when I left there in 2001 and settled here. Governor 'Gray-Out' Davis in Sacramento; Senators Feinstein and Boxer and Reps. Waxman, Waters and so many others in Congress; not to mention Tweedle-Dum and Tweedle Dummer running for Mayor in Left Angeles ... aaggghhh ... I was so glad to settle in a place that had some space left and beautiful scenery not over-run with people, but as LastdemoinIdaho said I'm repelled by the 'growth-at-any-cost' mentality which begins by capitalizing on the 'country' atmosphere and leads to its destruction! Have you seen how the Rathdrum Prairie is being plowed-under and replaced with 'Ticky-Tacky'? I would so hope all this surge in population isn't really harming the aquifer. I love it here and have acclimated to the colder weather, snow, etc. My relations back in L. A. love to visit here and are delighted by the photos I e-mail them of the wildlife (Moose especially) that wander thru my place. Someday when my kids inherit my 5-acres here I hope they'll enjoy it as much as I do/Milt Nelson.
