Their state is going belly up and literally only a few weeks away from bankruptcy and yet their state representatives are actually wasting time drafting legislation in order to apologize to people long since DEAD???
Are there any Californians on Yahoo!Answers right now reading this that can offer some insight as to what the hell has happened to your state???

The funny thing is that part of their economic woes are because they are saddled with a federal government that gives their money away to states like New Mexico and Mississippi. Out of every dollar California pays in Federal Tax, only 78 cents comes back. Who do you think makes up the difference?

I agree. Enough with the apologies. Make things right by keeping America the place where everyone has the opportunity to become what they want to become. I think the people where discriminated against would prefer that than some words on a bill.

159 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK
Do you know what happened this week back in 1850, 159 years ago?
California became a state. The State had no electricity. The State had
no money. Almost everyone spoke Spanish. There were gunfights in the streets.
So, basically, it was just like it is today except the women had real
breasts and the men didn't hold hands.
