sorry- but I just had to pass this on-now I'll go back to lurking. ------------------------------- America has engaged in some finger wagging lately because California doesn't have enough electricity to meet its needs. The rest of the country (including George W. Bush's energy secretary Spencer Abraham, who wants Californians to suffer through blackouts as justification for drilling for oil in Alaska's pristine Arctic National Wildlife Refuge) seems to be just fine with letting Californians dangle in the breeze without enough power to meet their needs. They laugh at Californians' frivolity. Well, everybody. Here's how it really is: California ranks 48th in the nation in power consumed per person. California grows more than half the nation's fruit, nuts and vegetables. We're keeping them. We need something to eat when the power goes out. We grow 99 percent or more of the nation's almonds, artichokes, dates, figs, kiwi fruit, olives, persimmons, pistachios, prunes, raisins and walnuts. Hope you won't miss them. California is the nation's number one dairy state. We're keeping our Dairy products. We'll need plenty of fresh ones since our refrigerators can't be relied upon. Got milk? We Californians are gonna keep all our high-tech software in state. Silicon Valley is ours, after all. Without enough electricity, which you're apparently keeping for yourselves, we just plain don't have enough software to spare. We're keeping all our airplanes. California builds a good percentage of the commercial airliners available to fly you people to where you want to go. When yours wear out, you'd better hope Boeing's Washington plant can keep you supplied. There isn't enough electricity here to allow us to export any more planes than we need ourselves. And while we're at it, we're keeping all our high-tech aerospace stuff, too, like the sophisticated weapons systems that let you sleep at night, not worried you might wake up under the rule of some foreign kook. Oh, yeah, and if you want to make a long-distance call, remember where the satellite components and tracking systems come from. Maybe you could get back in the habit of writing letters. Want to see a blockbuster movie this weekend? Come to California. We make them here. Since we'll now have to make them with our own electricity, we're keeping them. Even if we shot them somewhere else, the labs, printing facilities, editing facilities, and sound facilities are all here. Want some nice domestic wine? We produce over 17 million gallons per year. We'll need all it to drown our sorrows when we think about the fact that no matter how many California products we export to make the rest of America's lives better, America can't see its way clear to help us out with a little electricity. You can no longer have any of our wine. You all complain that we don't build enough power plants. Well, you don't grow enough food, write enough software, make enough movies, build enough airplanes and defense systems or make enough wine. This is your last warning, America. Lighten (us) up before it's too late. Love, The Californians (I personally think we should just annex Nevada, Arizona, & Baja. Problem solved. Half them people either live here, work here or get their money from here anyway.)

May I ask what, if anything positive or constructive, you expected from this? When you send something like this.......its from YOU man........ This is far from what 'Californians' think. Clear?

[jcniday]

Hey Californians, You have a point. Thanks for alerting the rest of us to our possible loss. We'd better start preparing ourselves today by finding alternative providers for our wine, movies, and such. With as many as 150 faults under LA alone, there's no telling when you all might just fall off into the ocean and leave us high and dry so to speak. Regards from Missouri (sinkhole capital of the nation), Jim You all complain that we don't build enough power plants. Well, you don't grow enough food, write enough software, make enough movies, build enough airplanes and defense systems or make enough wine. This is your last warning, America. Lighten (us) up before it's too late. Love, The Californians

From a Coloradan, could you please boycott our water and keep your populous there, too? Thanks, it's appreciated. "Swede" I know, I know, everyone likes a little *ss, no one likes a smart *ss.

Pls remain in lurk mode

One more for you Califonicators: We're just giving you the red ass bros. We all know that where CA goes the rest of us sheep follow, eventually. We're just pissed that your leading us where we don't want to go. I do think that it's a shame that your utility companies are selling what power they produce to the east at more profitable rates. I think this (greed) is the crux of your problem. Nobody has commented on that yet. -- bierdo jcniday wrote:

California, We'll trade you water for electricity? We can meet in Colorado to exchange. Swede, Are you in Colorado? My friends and I (4 KLRs) have rented a cabin in South Fork on August 11 - 17th. We are looking forward to riding up in the mountains etc. Any places you would recommend? ~Kris Dallas, Texas. -----Original Message----- From: Swede [mailto:stevens@...] Sent: Tuesday, April 03, 2001 9:22 AM To: DSN_klr650@yahoogroups.com Subject: [DSN_klr650] Re: NKLR Warning from California From a Coloradan, could you please boycott our water and keep your populous there, too?

Hmm, interesting stat. I would like to see how that was calculated.

We all know that to be true.

Nah, we just import them. Probably be cheaper anyway.

Guess we will hafta rely on nos. 2, 3, 4 ..

We will just keep on using W95 and W98 a little longer. They worked OK anyway.

HA, HA. Your view of the US is California on the west coast, NY on the east coast and nothing in between.

Most of them are CRAP anyway. Except Gladiator - that was wholesome.

Dude, where do you think the flour that went into the Crumpets you ate this morning came from?

I think most of the guns manufacturers are EAST of your state.
