Voters in California contemplate forming new state

A massive amount of oil, for one.

Location please.

It's been a while since I heard anything about it, mainly because I no longer live there, but if memory serves correctly Jefferson state would have the lowest population of all states, one of (if not the) lowest population density and it would basically contribute/export nothing at all. Every couple of years though they seem to get all up in arms and decide that this year is the year they finally break away from California and become something quite unfeasible.

Jefferson "state" though is nothing new, a lot of people who live up there already consider themselves to be part of the state. (It's like a Renaissance Faire where everyone is in character and pretending to live in a fantasy world, only they actually believe it). They've been doing this since forever ago. Odd place though, lot of mystic healing rock shops, hot springs with 'magical' properties, full fledged wide spread superstition that mount Shasta is an alien base of sort. The proposed capital, Yreka... never seen so many children in one place that looked, how you say, inbred?

I'm probably being too harsh. Nice place to visit though.

After living in the "Emerald Triangle" for several years, I can attest to the fact that a great many of the people there seem to be a few watts short of a lightbulb.

Well at least you wont have much debt to pay off when that degree in GayLesbianTransgenderWhitePrivilegeRevisionistHistorySocialistAnthropology fails to land you a job.

Haha, I'm just kidding with you.

What campus/program did you study in? I was accepted into UCSC but chose not to attend.

I went to San Jose State University and graduated with a degree in Business - Marketing. Not the most useful degree for finding a job, but I did learn a lot of stuff that is now very applicable to my job today, cost estimation for a seismic exploration company (oil and gas).
