To Jewell, Donnie, adjusterjoe et al:
This has been a classic posting! If ever I could have imagined a posting showing just where we, as a nation, this is it. We started with a difference of opinion on something that has effected us all, even in Calif and it has degenerated into name calling and insults with no regard to the original discussion. Rush Limbaugh was the first to exploit this type of rhetoric and he succeeded so well at it that it has been imitated to the point where there is no consensus of opinion anymore. We just yell and shout and rant and rave. The extremists, of course, are easy to spot-Rosie, Donnie, Adjusterjoe, because they yell so loud all reason is drowned out. Our politicians reflect our nations morals and they do not go on the air unless they wish to say something negative about people who disagree with them. Look at the progression of postings on this site. It has degenerated into name calling and insults. This is exactly what is happening with our politicians and leaders. They do not care what is right or wrong. They are content to try to outshout their opponents and destroy the character of their opponents.
