I moved here in 1971. It was a very different place back then. Not as crow=
ded and not as regulated in all aspects of life. These days you can't keep=
up with all the nanny state laws being passed every year. You can be a la=
w abiding citizen one day and a potential felon the next. Every year bring=
s more regulations and control over almost everything you do. Let's not ge=
t started on the gun control issue. Now they can take all your firearms wi=
th no crime having been committed. All someone has to do is convince a judg=
e you MIGHT do something to yourself or someone else. If that is not the t=
hought police, I don't know what is. Yes, you don't have to smog a car mad=
e before 1975, but every year some lame brain democrat will introduce a bil=
l to make ALL cars have to undergo smog either retro actively or be destroy=
ed even though they do not contribute even 1 percent of the smog to Califor=
nia. That bimbo from the San Francisco are Fran Pavley tried to get all mo=
torcycles have to undergo smog tests retroactively back many years over a c=
ertain engine size. Never mind motorcycles are not ridden as much or as of=
ten as automobiles or are a mall percentage of all vehicles on the road. L=
uckily it was defeated. It all started going down hill when the legislatur=
e in California went for being is session for six months out of the year to=
year round. Yes Bob I do feel free to leave this quagmire of rules and co=
ntrol of personal liberties. Every one of my hobbies I will pursue when I r=
etire is now being controlled by either the state of California or as in my=
radio control hobby the federal government being the FAA in particular. T=
he FAA wants to treat my 7 pound model airplane that does not fly out of my=
sight or place anyone or anything in danger like all aircraft and make me =
be licensed to fly it. of course the license is not free. You have to pay =
for the government to control you. I retire from the railroad at the end o=
f the year and am seriously eyeing Arizona as a retirement destination. At=
least there I don't worry about an new firearm law being passed every 5 m=
inutes.
