And Oregon would become even more beautiful if it weren't populated with so many native and homegrown Californians.UturnGirl Thanks this. -
They're your problem now. We aren't taking them back.
Look at all the weird stuck-in-the sixties perennial students who think that social activism should be a college major. We encourage them to go to Oregon. Look at Eugene...the little logging town that finally got a university and now patterns itself after all the University of California models and wants to be Berkeley when it grows up.
And don't forget the retirees. The "this isn't the way we do things where I come from" crowd who want to live in a pristine rural atmosphere...with a Starbucks and a WalMart close by. Keep them, too.
All these people seem to filter through our little corner of California on their way to someplace else. They don't stay long, just long enough to really irritate us. We always tell them how nice Oregon is.stuckinthemud, randomname, SteveScott and 2 others Thank this. -
Well, I sailed through from Eugene to Ontario today. A little bit of Duck Soup (Oregon fog..hardeehar..) at first but after that fair skies and mostly dry pavement. I got to enjoy the view.
I love you guys for helping me find my way. Thanks!stuckinthemud, PE_T, dosgatos and 2 others Thank this. -

After they've been here awhile it dawns on them that we have no WalMart, no K-Mart, no Sears, and not even a Starbucks. Our Starbucks went broke.
But it's pretty here. And it's green.
Our school system is barely adequate and our health care system for anything beyond minor stuff requires a two hour drive to a decent facility.
But it's pretty here. And it's green.
We have a double-digit unemployment rate and unless you have a marketable skill or know somebody you won't find a decent job here. You can work for a pot grower but sometimes their severance package consists of a few ounces of lead and a hole in the ground.
But it's pretty here. And it's green.
People realize all this after they move here and then they move away. They're usually people who don't really fit in or succeed anywhere they've ever been.
But it's pretty here. And it's green. Until fire season, anyway.Tug Toy, MM71, Accidental Trucker and 3 others Thank this. -
Legalizing marijuana was supposed to eliminate all violence associated with the growing, use, and distribution of marijuana.
Could this also mean that making any other illicit narcotic legal might end up having the same outcome?
