As I begin to write this post, you can probably figure out where I’m going with it. I’m conservative and I’m from Arizona; predictably, I hate the new Babylon that is California with a xenophobic passion that rivals a stomped ant nest. I think it’s reasonable to assume I wouldn’t write this article at all if in the end it turned out there actually wasn’t any problem and that the issues were the invention of a crazed right-wing media machine.
