Why would anyone want to live in SoCal?

Getty Center's a beautiful place, not to mention all those priceless artworks. I hope they can save it.

why do we live in southern calipornia? we were born here.
there is no escape from southern calipornia. you may leave
for awhile, but there is a total recall policy. thou shalt return.
we've all been recalled. we contracted to live here, in a previous
life. our punishment for being evil in a former life. if the illegal
aliens don't get ya, the firemen will. they saw farenheit 451 too.
many thought it was a good idea. one of the biggest arsonists
in calipornia history was a captain in the los angeles fire dept.
he was finally busted by arson squad. it was great tv series
years ago. showed all the ins and outs of arson. the motives,
the methods the moguls. that artwork is probably heavily insured.
the center used to be in malibu. off pch. burn baby burn? retaliation?

I hope no one gets hurt, but you have to wonder as bad a shape as California is in-which homeowner of the $1mil plus homes started this one for insurance.

I hope to god that there's enough money left to fight this fire, for these are all amazing works of art, by amazing artists from centuries far from this one. Since we all just paid a huge MJ bill, is there enough to pay the Fire Fighters who put their lives on the line to save places like this, and also people who need them? See if you can push it towards encino, please....

It was apparent Getty had no evacuation plan for guests,because it was announced by Getty employees to evacuate first,before the guests.We stood in the hot sun for hours before we called channel 7 news to complain. After lining up for hours to wait for the tram ,we were told the tram had been shut down by L.A.F.D. We were told to walk down the hill.When we got to the hill we were told the tram was reopened. Opening the door to mass chaos.After the call to the news water and vitamin water was brought out with parasols.SHEEP!

Hey, I have an idea, lets keep building in areas where there are repeated wild fires.

How does that sound? Duh?

Most likely, it isn't an arsonist. It is from some A$$hole who threw a glass bottle, which caught the Sun and sparked the fire. And people think littering is harmless!

Unbelievable that anything is still left in So Cal to burn. Except a few more billions of taxpayer money.

HOPEFULLY THIS FIRE WILL KILL ALL THE ILLEGALS AND LIBERALS IN CALIFORNIA WHICH WOULD IMMEDIATELY SOLVE THEIR STATE BANKRUPTCY PROBLEM AND CREATE MILLIONS OF JOB OPENINGS FOR REAL AMERICANS.

IMAGINE HOW MUCH LESS TRAFFIC THERE WOULD BE... WITH 15 MILLION LIBERALS AND ILLEGALS IN CALIFORNIA REMOVED FROM EXISTENCE.

I hope it burns up all of L.A.. Most of the shows stinks and the entertainment field is a bunch of spoilt babies, druggies and innies!

I am so happy there are so many of you who do not like california.
Having traveled extensively around the United States I have had a taste of many other states. and let me tell you something there are many I won't give you a wooden nickle for.
So do not think I am offended I rest in peacekknowing that you won't be coming here.
Goodbye !
