Chevron can't get out of that state fast enough. They even moved into the old Enron buildings in downtown Houston. I wonder how many other large businesses are fleeing California."Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf -

This is from the first half of 2010. I would guess the pace is accelerating.
“The exodus of capital and jobs has reached such an alarming point that California ought to declare a state of economic emergency just as we have emergencies resulting from floods, fires and earthquakes,” Vranich says. “Raising taxes or creating new regulations should be out of the question.”One of the grandest benefits of the enlightenment was the realization that our moral sense must be based on the welfare of living individuals, not on their immortal souls. Honest and passionate folks can strongly disagree regarding spiritual matters, so it's imperative that we not allow such considerations to infringe on the real happiness of real people.

I believe religion has much inherent good and has born many good fruits.

This report is from the Southern California Leadership Council
Some quotes:
We want you to be aware of some less publicized
facts. Since January 2007, more than 2,500 employers have left the state for other
states in the U.S. Approximately 109,000 jobs left with these employers. In addition,
many companies have shifted parts of their business activities out of state and decided to
expand their operations elsewhere. Attached are Dun & Bradstreet lists detailing some of
the losses and a list of specific businesses which have left or reduced operations here.
With two jobs lost for every one we gain with other states the implications are clear.Some of the graphs in the report are pretty interesting.California is now rated as the worst state in the Country to do business by corporate relocation experts.
Businesses around the world look closely at this report to decide where they want to relocate and
expand. A CEO from the semiconductor industry was quoted as saying “The killer factor in California for
a manufacturer to create, say, 1,000 blue-collar jobs, is a hostile government that doesn’t want you there
and demonstrates it in 1,000 ways.” When the CEO’s of California companies like Intel and Cisco say
they will expand anywhere but California we should all recognize the extreme challenges to overcoming
our gloomy, ongoing unemployment and fiscal crisis.One of the grandest benefits of the enlightenment was the realization that our moral sense must be based on the welfare of living individuals, not on their immortal souls. Honest and passionate folks can strongly disagree regarding spiritual matters, so it's imperative that we not allow such considerations to infringe on the real happiness of real people.

Circling the drain is a blast. Try it sometime.“There is a great deal of difference in believing something still, and believing it again.”

This is what happens when the most liberal state in the country passes liberal policies. The country should take heed and vote Obama the hell out, otherwise, we'll see it happening across the USA."Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance and the gospel of envy; its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery." - Winston Churchill

I'm hoping that a large fruit company in cali will someday soon relocate more to Texas. This would help considerably will my commute for meetings.

How does that work if a California municipality pollutes out of state?
