What's wrong with CA?


http://www.newsweek.com/id/185791

Kind of related to our previous thread about Boomers/Net Geners:

"California, like any gorgeously endowed person, has a natural inclination toward self-absorption.... The most recent ascendant group are the gentry liberals, whose base lies in the priciest precincts of San Francisco, the Silicon Valley and the west side of Los Angeles. Gentry liberalism reflects the narcissistic values of successful boomers and their offspring; their politics are all about them."

Fed up with the Sacramento roadblock, some Californians are pushing for a Constitutional Convention to remake the state government (the last one occurred in 1878). Positive reform or another can of worms?
