You know I can't help but think there isn't some sort of biblical lesson here - throughout recorded human history how many people have tried to achieve paradise in this life and has it actually ended well for any of them? California tried to achieve paradise in this life and now damnation the likes of which can hardly be imagined will rain down upon them. Maybe thousands of years from now holy books will talk about California's folly how the state and its people were reduced to columns of salt.
Following human morality over the laws of God always end in tragedy. The lessons of history are lost in man's hubris. We are not even fit to lead our own footprints.
