    Colleges in California are sold out to the extreme left also. The education system is the driving force. Wait til their bill comes due with the "under employed" (over educated) at some 20% I believe.

    Why am I not surprised that this is occurring? More laws and ordinances create more chance of breaking a law. No bailouts will come from me if I have any say in the matter. The more progressive the State, the more it is in the tank economically.
