AFter actually having hte time to read the California thread from front to back I reluctantly deleted the post.  I had initially went through editting it because there were many great points brought out.  The only problem was that the off topic comments and personal agerndas diluted the topic so bad that I found it overwhlemed the good in the posts.

I do believe it is a topic that should be discussed and will not delete a new thread on it "IF" the personal agendas and personal attacks are not made.

Please feel free to address it again I think it is a good topic as it is a current event that affects many facets. Remain respectful.  Thank you

Thank  Bro G for clarify what need to be done when discussing a thread.

May I repost it again?  Because, I did feel that it was a good one.  And I understand why you deleted it.....in fact, I asked you to (I am being honest and admitting it publicly), because, I felt that a line had been crossed, and that issues being discussed SHOULD NOT be seen by any minors on this website.

In fact, to get into that same issue, will bring down the ire of every parent of every teen on this website............including myself.

Sorry, to be so bold.............but, I have children who look at these forums....and I do not want them to see the garbage brought out on that thread.

Very well repost it.  Please remind in the post to keep it educated and not attacking please.
