California. Aside from movies, good wine, citrus, and microchips they don't really add much to the country. Mostly it is highly influential politically even though its population does not represent an accurate cross section of the avg. American. Besides we can make movies anywhere, wine can be grown other places and microchips are made overseas anyways.

Just say that it is from somewhere it's not - like if it's in LA, say "Southern California" instead.  That is still truthful, but in a roundabout way.

What kinda problem can that be?

Because of the major fault line running through it. Do a Google on 'fault line' and California.

Can't disagree with chslaw (don't think I ever have, actually), but I have an alternate reason:\n\nThere's a damn lot of people living in this state.  At one time or another, someone here has done something stupid that someone else felt required some regulation or law to prevent from happening again, or to make sure it did happen again.\n\nA lot of bad criminal case law comes from Southern California, and I have always felt it was for the same reason.  There's a lot of cops down there, and a lot of stupid people (well, even some of the cops are), so they pull something goffy just about every day down there and it ends up turning into some kind of law or rule as a result.

It depends on what state you're in.  California has a number of laws on this issue, but if you're not in California, I'm not sure what to tell you.\n\nYou need to give your state.

I honestly don't think you can judge an entire state, unless you are looking at the smaller states in the east.  There are so many differences in source, treatment, and delivery even within a single state, that drawing an average would mean nothing in the overall scheme.  I can attest that within California, some of the worst water I've ever tasted was in LA.

you should consult a California Lawyer and discuss with him/her what you should do
