It just so happens that LSD and OOP were both invented around the same time at the University of California, Berkeley. Which is what brought on that quote: it's nothing to do with Clifornia as such, only the use of LSD and the fact they both came from the same place / time
OOP is useful... sometimes. It's not the perfect solution to every algorithmic problem. For instance, writing a simple utility to parse text in an OOP style will probably increase amount of code by two-fold (in my experience, anyway).
It's simply like choice of language: don't write throw-away text utilities in C++: it's a waste of effort. Perl or Python (or even AWK!) would be much better. Similarly, Perl is not the correct language for database servers.
