You smug-faced crowds with kindling eye
Who cheer when soldier lads march by,
Sneak home and pray you'll never know
The hell where youth and laughter go.

Well, he did say Northern CA/Southern OR, does that not fit the dimension of the
State of Jefferson?
Yes it does...but still not a great mark on Oregon...

Meh, I'm from Ohio, we fought Michigan over Toledo..we don't really make fun of other states for bad ideas.
Yeah, I watched about that on "How the States got their shapes". One thing that it did not make clear. Do the people in Southern Oregon share the views of their Northern California neighbours, or is this an idea from Northern California to seccede from the rest of California and annex a part from another state? The Ohio-Michigan bit was also quite interesting.
Kirk, enjoy your holidays.
California is like a lot of states with large cities....the cities with their huge populations have very different interests from the lower-populated rural areas. And the disproportionate populations in the citites tend to overwhelm the interests of the rest of the state.
There's always grumbling between the NYC area and the rest of New York State. Same with Virginia, and the DC Suburbs.
Actually I spent much of my camping time in Douglas county, just North of "Jefferson" - which is apparently larger than I knew- I thought it was just the NE corner of CA and SE of OR.
As for culture/whatnot.
In general California has liberal coastal cities, and more conservative inland areas.
Northern California is far more agrarian than the SF Bay area- Timber, ranching, fishing and that wacky weed. Coast/101 corrdor is pretty liberal and vote democrat, but some of the inland areas get pretty darn conservative- very different than SF Bay area.
Im sitting in PDX getting ready to fly to Colorado for a family vist. Will have wifi and a flight on which to write.
