Got this in my email this morining :-)

I love a good history lesson ....Do you know what happened 161 years ago this fall... Back in 1850? California became a state. The people had no electricity. The state had no money. Almost everyone spoke Spanish. There were gunfights in the streets. So basically nothing has changed, except then the women had real t##s and the men didn't hold hands. That, my friends, is the history lesson for today .............
