Quite an interesting result.

While browsing through some of the previous polls, I found something rather
interesting in the poll about the Gray Davis recall.  The next to last
response is"No, this recall fiasco has made the largest state in the U.S.
look ridiculous." I would just like to know exactly how they are the largest
state in the US.  IIRC, that honor would go to Alaska if you went by area
and New York if you went by population.

California AND Texas both outrank NYS in population now.

So Hollywood is good for something... or is it mostly Silicon Valley?

Both are significant, but neither is the largest industry. Believe it or not,
it's agriculture.

All those oranges and grapes picked by illegal aliens?

More acreage planted in high-quality marijuana than the size of the entire
suburb/island of New Zealand.  That and a couple defunct aerospace firms
like McDonnell-Douglas and Hughes, plus a couple defunct computer firms like
Apple.  And, of course, the world headquarters of PADI.  All those C-cards
translate to big bucks for California.

(The next step on former governor Davis's secret agenda would have been to
award C-cards to illegal aliens in response to a large donation by PADI to
the recall campaign.)

I thought it was Kansas that planted a couple of hundred acres a time in
mass Marijuana with about 5 feet of maize between the pot and the road so
the cops driving along looking for sppeders didn't see the greenery.

How else did Dorothy and Toto end up in trotting down a yellow brick road?

That was from all the Agent Orange tested on Kansas in the good old days.
Fortunately no one there noticed.

silicone valley and hollywood: a lot in common.

You don't RC.  Today California has almost twice the population of teeny
tiNY.  It surpassed NY in 1970 and kept growing as NY stagnated.
