>There is one measure of a government that has never failed: are people trying to get in or are people trying to get out?

Can you provide the units in which this "measurement" is made? What about other measures of government? How does California perform on those scales?

Should it be the overriding goal of government to appeal (or appease) those citizens who are already on the margin of leaving anyway? Or should it strive to better serve those who stay?
