I just read that Los Angeles California decided to boycott Arizona Business. This is a move that I would not consider taking if I were them in a normal sense, but even more so considering that fact that LA has a dependency on them. This is where you hear that old saying “Don’t bite the hand that feeds you”. In many ways, I think some people are just to sensitive!
You see, Los Angeles is depending on Arizona for 25% of their electricity. Arizona could quite easily turn off the power so to speak, and why not. If L.A. is planning on sabotaging the Arizona economy, why shouldn’t Arizona do the same.
Where you agree or disagree with Arizona, when you throw out threats, you really need to consider the consequences. This is why I think, in general, most of the government officials are short-sited (especially in LA)!
Really most people are like the government officials in L.A. They forget the relationships that they have and do stupid things to show off.
Another great example is France. We keep bring up the fact that we helped France during the last World Wars, and act like they owe us. But really the French were instrumental in us becoming a free nation. I know that it’s not that simple, but we should still be at least a little bit grateful!

I laughed when I read that Arizona supplied LA with electricity. I will be very curious to see if Arizona will just be bluffing or if LA will change their stance!

I’m pretty sure they were just bluffing, but they make a great point! I might imagine the price per kilowatt house going up in price to make up for the loss of money from the boycott.
the old 25% rule. We all depend on each other and should find away to stay calm and not panic.

The thing is our society is democratic, and if the people of Arizona votes that way, so be it. In my opinion the L.A. governor is out of place. That kind of speaking without thinking is almost as bad as when President Bush told people to start calling French Fries, Freedom Fries instead, lol…
